Bollywood’s favourite horror-comedy duo — **Akshay Kumar** and director **Priyadarshan** — are giving box office trackers plenty to celebrate. **Bhooth Bangla** continues its impressive run into Week 4, showing remarkable staying power at the multiplex. With a 20 percent mid-week jump on its 4th Tuesday, the film is now closing in on the ₹155 crore nett mark — and a ₹165 crore lifetime total is firmly within reach.

### The Numbers That Tell the Story

Bhooth Bangla collected ₹1.35 crore on its 4th Tuesday, registering around a 20 percent jump from its previous day.

A mid-week uptick in Week 4 is the kind of hold most Bollywood films can only dream of — it signals that word-of-mouth is genuinely working in the film’s favour even this deep into its run.

### Can It Beat Housefull 5?

The film is all set to surpass the ₹160 crore mark soon and then head towards its lifetime target, looking to wind up its entire run around the ₹165 crore nett mark. However, surpassing Housefull 5’s ₹168 crore seems a stretch for now. [https://aimindia.in/](https://aimindia.in/ayushman-bharat-scheme/)

It’s a close race — and one that Akshay Kumar fans will be watching closely in the coming days.

### What This Means for Akshay Kumar’s Career Comeback

Akshay Kumar has gone through a rough phase at the box office post-pandemic, with a string of underperformers. Last year was somewhat better with three films doing decently well, although none were classified as a HIT, and now there is finally a HIT film as well. The industry tends to have a good time when Akshay Kumar is having a good time — he makes sure to do two or three HITs or successful films a year, which keeps the box office ticking.

It’s a point worth underlining. The [Hindi film industry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood) has always depended on its frontline stars to keep multiplexes buzzing year-round, and Akshay Kumar’s consistency is precisely what keeps the ecosystem healthy.
