Bhooth Bangla Day Wise Box Office Collection | India and Overseas

Bhooth Bangla was one of the most anticipated movies of 2026, not for its concept or scale but for the reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan for a comedy film. The film released on April 17, with paid previews beginning on April 16 at 9 PM. This horror comedy movie, in its genre, was anticipated not just for the return of the actor-director duo but was also seen as their respective comebacks after back-to-back failures. But did the anticipation for the film translate into box-office numbers and commercial success for both forces? Read to find out in our Bhooth Bangla day wise box office collection report.

What Should You Know About Bhooth Bangla?

The Bhooth Bangla cast includes Akshay Kumar, Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, and Paresh Rawal in the lead, with several other supporting actors. Out of all of these stars, only Akshay Kumar holds a respectable box office pull, but even he has been suffering from a dry phase for a considerable time now.

As of the release date, it had gotten a solo release but competed with Dhurandhar: The Revenge and Dacoit on a low level. The Bhooth Bangla director, Priyadarshan, ended up being a strange reason behind why the film should be and should not be hyped by people. Priyadarshan seems to be an exciting name associated with the film when you remember his cult classics with Akshay Kumar, like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Hera Pheri, Garam Masala, Khatta Meetha, etc. 

However, this excitement fades away when you see his most recent work in the form of Hungama 2, Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea, Corona Papers, and Appatha. Additionally, it was produced by Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under the banner of Balaji Motion Pictures along with Akshay Kumar himself under his banner, Cape of Good Films.

How is the Pre-Release Hype For Bhooth Bangla?

With all factors considered, the overall pre-release hype stays alive only because of the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan. Replace either one of them, and you would see just a quarter of the current hype. 

However, the excitement for the movie was not something really great either, and was not the same as it was before the teaser release. After the teaser introducing the cast was released, followed by three of the film’s songs and the trailer, the craze for this horror comedy kept decreasing. Except for Ram Ji Aake Bhala Karenge to a limited extent, no song came close to being a chartbuster, while the trailer failed to improve the pre-release perception of the film.

How is the Bhooth Bangla Advance Booking Report in India?

The full-fledged Akshay Kumar Bhooth Bangla advance booking started in India on April 14, 3 days before its release date and just over 2 days before its paid previews. 

In all these days, the final Bhooth Bangla advance booking updates showed 40,000 tickets sold across Indian national chains (PVR INOX and Cinepolis) for its paid previews that were starting from 9 PM, and 40,000 tickets sold across Indian national chains for Day 1.

Additionally, the film sold over 2,50,000 tickets solely across the PVR INOX national chain for its opening weekend.

How Much is Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection For Opening Day?

From its paid previews that started from 9 PM onwards a day before release, the film showed a good total of Rs 3.25 crore India nett. On Day 1, this horror comedy collected Rs 11.50 crore India nett.

How Much is Bhooth Bangla Opening Weekend Collection?

What is the Bhooth Bangla Box Office Prediction?

The pre-release hype for Bhooth Bangla is not very good. This low hype is sure to initially affect the Bhooth Bangla box office collection for the opening weekend. However, it may put up a satisfactory total in its opening when you consider the Bhooth Bangla box office India collection for paid previews as well as Day 1.

How the Bhooth Bangla box office worldwide collection turns out will be decided by the film’s merit only. If it gets positive word of mouth, the film can show strong total numbers at the Indian box office in the long run. Meanwhile, there are no big hopes from the film’s Bhooth Bangla overseas collection.
