Bhooth Bangla has taken the box office by surprise, racing past the ₹100 crore mark worldwide within its opening weekend. Despite mixed reviews, the film has managed to pull strong footfalls, proving the power of star appeal and genre curiosity. A solid upward trend indicates strong weekend momentum, with Sunday emerging as the highest-grossing day so far.
The film’s strong opening can be attributed to the presence of Akshay Kumar, whose mass appeal continues to draw audiences, along with curiosity around its horror-comedy setting. While the opening weekend numbers are impressive, the real test begins on weekdays. Sustaining momentum will depend heavily on word-of-mouth and repeat value, areas where the film has received mixed reactions.
Hit ya Flop rated the movie as 2 out of 5 stars, labeling it “Below Average” and wrote ‘There are films that disappoint and then there are films like Bhooth Bangla that frustrate you because you can clearly see the potential slipping through the cracks.’
