Bhooth Bangla, the much-anticipated horror-comedy starring Akshay Kumar, opened its box office account with paid previews on April 16, 2026, registering approximately ₹3.5 crore net. On Day 1 (Friday, April 17), the film delivered a respectable performance, accumulating a total India net of around ₹15.75 crore when including previews. This figure reflects a decent start for a non-holiday release in the genre, supported by positive early audience reactions and Priyadarshan’s signature blend of humour and thrills.
Early estimates for Day 2 (Saturday, April 18) indicate promising momentum, driven by the weekend factor and improving theatre occupancy trends across major markets. Trade sources point to a healthy uptick from Friday’s collections, with family audiences and urban centres contributing significantly to the growth.
The film’s strong word-of-mouth and star power are expected to sustain interest over the weekend, positioning it favourably against competition. Industry observers will closely monitor afternoon and evening shows to gauge the full Saturday potential.

About Bhooth Bangla and Future Prediction
Bhooth Bangla marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan after several years. The film follows a man who inherits a haunted mansion ahead of his sister’s wedding, leading to a series of chaotic and comedic supernatural encounters. Blending horror elements with Priyadarshan’s trademark situational comedy, the narrative offers light-hearted entertainment suitable for family audiences while delivering thrills through clever twists.
The cast features Akshay Kumar in a dual role, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Jisshu Sengupta. Their combined star appeal and proven chemistry contribute to the film’s engaging screen presence. Early reviews highlight the effective use of practical effects and witty dialogues, which have helped generate favourable word-of-mouth.
Looking ahead, Bhooth Bangla is projected to build on its opening weekend if positive trends continue. With the horror-comedy genre resonating well and strong Saturday occupancy, the film could cross the ₹50-55 crore nett mark in the first three days. Sustained performance in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres, coupled with steady holds, may pave the way for a profitable run, potentially establishing it as a solid commercial performer by the end of its theatrical window.
