Seven weeks in theatres. Still collecting. Still holding. If that doesn’t tell you everything about Bhooth Bangla’s extraordinary run, the numbers will. Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan’s horror comedy has now crossed the Rs 168 crore nett mark at the Indian box office — and it has already done something no Akshay Kumar film has managed in years: surpassed Housefull 5 to become one of his biggest post-2020 blockbusters.
This one feels personal. And well-earned.

Why This Run Is So Special for Akshay Kumar
Let’s put this in context — because context is everything.
With this run, Bhooth Bangla has surpassed the lifetime collection of Housefull 5 and established itself as Akshay Kumar’s second biggest grosser in the post-2020 era, sitting only behind Sooryavanshi’s Rs 196 crore nett total.
Akshay Kumar had been going through a difficult phase at the box office for a couple of years, with back-to-back underwhelming performances. Bhooth Bangla, coming off the back of recent successful ventures, has finally given him a Clean Hit — and the actor is genuinely back in his element.
For fans who remember Akshay Kumar’s incredible streak of back-to-back hits in the 2010s, this comeback feels like a proper restoration. His Wikipedia profile captures just how remarkable his career journey has been: Akshay Kumar — Wikipedia.
The Akshay-Priyadarshan Magic — Rekindled
This film also marks a triumphant reunion of two legends who defined a certain era of Bollywood comedy. Priyadarshan’s trademark madcap humour blended with Akshay’s physical comedy timing — it was clearly a combination audiences were hungry for again, and Bhooth Bangla delivered it in spades.
The Rs 80 crore opening week alone tells you how much goodwill and excitement surrounded this film on Day 1 — and a 25% drop seven weeks later tells you how effectively it converted that goodwill into repeat viewership.
