Bhooth Bangla added ₹1.60Cr on Day 26, taking its India net total to ₹161.70Cr.
Steady but clearly winding down in the fourth week.
The film showed a small +18.5% jump from the previous day but dropped 28.9% week-on-week. This pattern is typical for horror-comedies that rely heavily on opening curiosity.
Performance Analysis
Bhooth Bangla had a solid opening thanks to the Akshay Kumar-Priyadarshan reunion after many years. The horror-comedy combination worked well in the first two weeks, especially in mass and family circuits. However, the weekdays have been inconsistent. At ₹120Cr budget, the current 1.35x ratio places it firmly in Average territory. To be considered a clean HIT, it needs to reach at least ₹210Cr India net.
The overseas contribution of ₹53.20Cr has helped the worldwide total, but domestic performance remains the key metric. Family audiences have shown limited repeat interest beyond the opening period.
Priyadarshan’s experience in the genre helped create entertaining sequences, and Akshay Kumar delivered his usual energetic performance. Yet the script appears to have lost steam in the second half, preventing it from becoming a strong word-of-mouth success. This performance once again highlights the challenge big-budget Bollywood comedies face in sustaining beyond the first two weeks.
