Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla Delivers Strong ₹65 Cr Weekend at Box Office

Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla Opens to Impressive Box Office Numbers

Akshay Kumar’s latest outing, Bhooth Bangla, has set the box office abuzz with an energetic start, raking in approximately ₹65.25 crore over its opening weekend. This horror comedy, marking Kumar’s reunion with celebrated director Priyadarshan, premiered with late-night shows on April 16, 2026, and quickly gained momentum among cinephiles.

The film’s performance stands out, especially as it achieved this feat without the advantage of a festive or holiday release. Sunday proved to be the most lucrative day, contributing a significant ₹25.6 crore to the overall tally. Produced by Akshay Kumar alongside Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor, Bhooth Bangla also features a formidable ensemble cast including Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Mithila Palkar, with Pritam providing the musical backdrop.

Trade analysts note that the film’s healthy weekend shows promise for a steady run, particularly as there are no major Hindi releases on the horizon. However, industry experts point to the "crucial test" ahead, with weekday collections, especially Monday, expected to determine the film's staying power at the box office.

With early buzz and solid numbers, fans will be keenly observing Bhooth Bangla’s weekday trend to see if it can maintain its momentum and emerge as one of the highlights of the season.
