Bhooth Bangla Crosses Rs 100 Crore Worldwide, Faces Expected Weekday Dip

Bhooth Bangla, the much-anticipated horror-comedy marking the reunion of Akshay Kumar and legendary director Priyadarshan, is facing the inevitable post-weekend dip. After a solid opening weekend that saw the film breach the Rs. 50 crore mark, the Monday and Tuesday figures indicate a significant slowdown. As of April 21, 2026, the film's total worldwide gross has successfully surpassed the Rs. 100 crore milestone, largely driven by its strong initial three-day performance. However, all eyes are now on the weekday stability to see if the Akshay-Priyadarshan nostalgia can sustain the film's momentum.

More about Bhooth Bangla Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla is a supernatural comedy-thriller that revolves around Arjun Acharya played by Akshay Kumar, who returns from London to his ancestral home in rural Mangalpur. The plot thickens as he discovers the palace is allegedly haunted by a demonic entity named Vadhusur, known for abducting brides. The film serves as a nostalgic treat for fans, reuniting the core comedy team of Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, the late Asrani, and Manoj Joshi. Joining the ensemble are Wamiqa Gabbi in a dual role, Mithila Palkar as Arjun's sister and Tabu in a pivotal flashback appearance. While the first half is lauded for its vintage Priyadarshan-style chaos and slapstick humor, the second half leans into darker elements of black magic and mythology inspired by the Vedas.
