Bhooth Bangla Box Office Prediction: Akshay Kumar's Horror Comedy Eyes Rs 10 Cr+ Opening
Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s horror comedy Bhooth Bangla is scheduled for release this Friday, with box office predictions estimating an opening day collection between Rs 10 crore and Rs 12 crore. The film, produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, delayed its release by one week to avoid competition from Aditya Dhar’s record-breaking spy thriller Dhurandhar 2. As the impact of Dhurandhar 2 subsides, Bhooth Bangla has secured over 4,000 screens and reported strong pre-sales, including Rs 94 lakh in advance tickets and significant block bookings. While this projected opening surpasses the Rs 7 crore debut of the duo’s previous collaboration, Khatta Meetha, it remains lower than Akshay Kumar’s recent franchise entry, Jolly LLB 3. Trade analysts note that comparing Bhooth Bangla to Dhurandhar 2 is inappropriate due to genre differences, though the latter’s massive paid preview earnings highlight a distinct level of audience craze. The film features a star-studded cast including Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, and Wamiqa Gabbi, marking a significant reunion for its lead actor and director after sixteen years.
