Let’s be honest — nobody really expected a Vikram Bhatt horror sequel in 2026 to quietly creep past the ₹10 crore mark. And yet, here we are. Despite mixed reviews, VFX criticism, and concerns over AI use in production, *Haunted 3D: Echoes of the Past* is proving that desi horror still has a heartbeat at the box office.

## Haunted 3D: Box Office Collection Breakdown

| Day | Collection |
| --- | --- |
| Day 1 (Friday) | ₹2.35 crore |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | ₹3.00 crore |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | ₹3.50 crore |
| Day 4 (Monday) | ₹1.50 crore (est.) |
| **Total (4 Days)** | **₹10.35 crore** |

## A 35% Monday Drop — Is That Good or Bad?

In Bollywood, Mondays are the real test. Weekends are easy; it’s the weekday hold that tells the real story. A **35% drop on Day 4** for a horror film with average word-of-mouth? That’s actually a respectable hold. The film is now targeting a **first-week total of around ₹15 crore**, buoyed by Tuesday’s discounted ticket offers.

For a film that reportedly suffered from poor [3D filmmaking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_film) execution and AI-generated visuals that didn’t sit well with audiences, hitting ₹10 crore is no small feat.

## Why This Matters for Vikram Bhatt’s Legacy

Vikram Bhatt built his reputation on low-budget, high-emotion horror. The original *Haunted 3D* (2011) was a legit hit. His Raaz franchise also delivered solid returns. But the genre went quiet for years, with several entries flopping one after another.

*Echoes of the Past* suggests audiences haven’t completely abandoned this space — they just need better execution. If you love Bollywood horror, check out our coverage of the [best horror films to watch on OTT right now](https://technosports.co.in) and stay tuned for what Bhatt does next.

## The Bigger Picture: Can Desi Horror Survive?

The numbers say yes — cautiously. Had this film invested in stronger VFX and a tighter screenplay, it could have opened much bigger. The audience appetite is clearly there. The Rs 15 crore first-week target would put it firmly in the “successful for its budget” category.
