As of Wednesday night (11 PM), the film had already sold around **28,000 tickets** across top national chains — PVR Inox and Cinepolis — for its opening day, including Thursday previews.

## How Does It Compare to Akshay’s Recent Films?

Here’s where things get interesting. Akshay’s last outing **Housefull 5** had sold around **96,000 tickets** on opening day, while **Jolly LLB 3** managed just **45,000** — albeit hampered by a VPF conflict between exhibitors and distributors. Bhooth Bangla’s numbers sit between the two, making Housefull 5 the closest real benchmark.

If walkups on Day 1 hold up well, an opening day of **around ₹15 crore nett** looks realistic — possibly even higher.

## Will Content Save the Day?

Numbers are one thing, but films live or die on word-of-mouth. Bhooth Bangla has generated **genuine audience curiosity**, and if the film delivers on its horror-comedy promise, the collections could see a sharp weekend jump. Priyadarshan, with his decades of experience in the genre, gives this one real credibility.

Meanwhile, the Hindi film industry is riding high on the back of **Dhurandhar: The Revenge** (Ranveer Singh), which is still posting strong numbers. Bhooth Bangla now gets its shot at keeping the momentum going.
