Akshay Kumar is back in the game, and the numbers are doing the talking. His latest horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, is holding remarkably well at the box office into its second week — a sign that audiences genuinely love what they’re watching.
Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collections : Overview
Bhooth Bangla added ₹2.75 crore on its 2nd Wednesday, marking a 26% drop from Tuesday, bringing the 2nd week’s running total to ₹38 crore in just 6 days.
| Day | Net Collection |
|---|---|
| Week 1 Total | ₹80.50 Cr |
| 2nd Friday | ₹5.50 Cr |
| 2nd Saturday | ₹10.75 Cr |
| 2nd Sunday | ₹12.00 Cr |

What These Numbers Really Mean
A 26% weekday drop in Week 2 is genuinely impressive for Bollywood. Most films nosedive hard after their opening weekend — Bhooth Bangla isn’t doing that. The film is expected to wind up its 2nd week around the ₹40 crore mark, roughly half of its opening week haul — a solid hold by any standard.
The horror comedy is projected to cross ₹120 crore in its third weekend and ₹130 crore by the end of Week 3, with a real shot at ₹150 crore nett by the end of its theatrical run.

Akshay Kumar’s Comeback Story
Let’s be real — Akshay Kumar had a tough post-pandemic run. But this feels different. Last year brought three decent performers, and now there’s finally a certified HIT on his hands.
The industry tends to do well when Akshay Kumar is doing well — he may not deliver ₹500 crore blockbusters, but two or three hits a year keep the box office engine running, something very few stars in Bollywood manage consistently. That reliability is underrated, and Bhooth Bangla is a reminder of exactly that.
