Bhooth Bangla recorded a good opening weekend, grossing Rs. 95 crore at the worldwide box office. The horror-comedy drama fetched around Rs. 67 crore gross (Rs. 56 crore nett) from the domestic markets, while the foreign territories contributed a sum of USD 3 million, which is Rs. 28 crore gross.
That’s a pretty encouraging weekend for an Akshay Kumar film, whose recent track record isn’t much good. So far, the movie has set a very good base. All it needs is to sustain well ahead. If the movie manages to hold well on Monday and then on the weekdays, it will go for a Clean Hit verdict, which is the need of the hour for Khiladi Kumar. The previous Akshay Kumar film, Jolly LLB 3, also had a promising weekend but lost momentum on the weekdays, which kept it from being a Hit. Bhooth Bangla will be aiming to avoid it.
Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhooth Bangla garnered mixed reactions among the audience. Had the movie received superlative word-of-mouth, it would have seen a much bigger weekend. Nevertheless, the horror comedy drama has witnessed a promising growth over the weekend, performing better than Jolly LLB 3, especially in the mass circuits on its Day 3 (Sunday).
