Bhooth Bangla crossed ₹151.75Cr India Net on Day 22. Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s horror-comedy remains the only consistent non-sequel Hindi film delivering steady holds in 2026.
No fireworks. Just reliable footfalls week after week.
The film opened modestly and has held remarkably well into Week 4. Families and repeat audiences are the backbone. Priyadarshan’s formula — equal parts scares and laughs — still works because it knows exactly who it is for. In a year dominated by sequels and big-budget spectacles, Bhooth Bangla proves that smart, genre-smart entertainment can still find its audience and deliver consistent numbers for its star.
This is the reset Akshay Kumar needed after a string of underperformers. The film will not rewrite all-time records, but it has quietly become one of the most dependable performers of 2026.
