After years of box office heartbreaks, Akshay Kumar has something real to celebrate. Bhooth Bangla is quietly doing what few of his recent films managed — staying alive at the box office well into its fourth week.
Bhooth Bangla: Ghosting the Competition in Week 4
Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi and directed by Priyadarshan, added ₹1.40 crore on its 4th Friday, pushing its total Indian net collection to ₹144.40 crore.
The film has a clean run this week and is expected to wrap up its entire theatrical lifetime somewhere between ₹155 crore and ₹160 crore nett at the Indian box office. The ₹150 crore milestone is now firmly in sight — and it’s almost certain to get there.

Why This Hit Matters More Than the Numbers
Let’s be real — this isn’t just about ₹144 crore. This is about redemption. Akshay Kumar went through a rough post-pandemic phase with a string of underperformers. Last year saw three films do decently, though none crossed into true HIT territory. Bhooth Bangla changes that — it’s officially a HIT.
The industry does well when Akshay Kumar is on form. He may not deliver ₹500 crore blockbusters, but two or three solid hits a year keeps the box office ecosystem healthy — something that sets him apart from peers who sometimes take two or three years between releases.
The horror comedy genre has always had a loyal fanbase in India, and Bhooth Bangla proves that a well-made, entertaining film in this space can still command consistent audiences across weeks. For more Bollywood box office updates and trending entertainment news, head over to Technosports.
