There is no major new entry in Pinkvilla Predicts this week, except Aakhiri Sawal, which is expected to be a non-opener. Additionally, this serves as the final update for Bhooth Bangla.
Aakhiri Sawal (08/05/2026)
First Day Box Office Forecast: Rs. 0-50 lakh
Sanjay Dutt’s Aakhiri Sawal is gearing up for release in the second week of May 2026. The political drama movie, directed by Abhijeet Mohan Warang, looks like a non-opener. Its success will depend heavily on word-of-mouth among the audience. As for now, the movie is looking for an opening under the Rs. 50 lakh at the box office.
The movie stars Sanjay Dutt, Namashi Chakraborty, Tridha Chaudhary, Amit Sadh, Sameera Reddy, and others.
Other Updates
Heading into the final week, Bhooth Bangla is expected to avoid slipping into single digits on Friday. The previews starting from 9 PM on Thursday (April 16) are probably a bit too late to make a material impact on its opening day business. There isn’t much increase on upside from the previous forecast of opening day inclusive of previews i.e. Rs. 14 crore. It does seem that hitting Rs. 15 crore may be possible.
The initial advance bookings have a decent amount of traction, which could give it a mid-teens opening.
The final forecast for Bhooth Bangla is Rs. 2-3 crore for paid previews and Rs. 10-13 crore for Friday, giving a total Day 1 of Rs. 12-16 crore nett at the Hindi box office.
