Bhooth Bangla Advance Booking Soars: Akshay Kumar’s Horror-Comedy Haunts the Box Office with 28K Tickets Sold!

Akshay Kumar is back — and this time, he’s brought the ghosts along. His upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, directed by the legendary Priyadarshan, is generating solid pre-release buzz at the box office. 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.

The film is confidently on track to cross the 30,000 admissions mark before the day ends, and analysts project it could sell 60,000–70,000 tickets before the first preview screening rolls.

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.
