Akshay Kumar’s Bhooth Bangla is continuing its strong run at the box office, with the horror-comedy now crossing ₹120 crore worldwide. The film has found solid traction in both domestic and overseas markets, making it one of the more notable performers of the season. Its steady collection reflects a clear audience appetite for light-hearted genre entertainment backed by a familiar star.
The film’s performance has also had an impact on Dhurandhar 2, which has reportedly seen its momentum slow down at the ticket window. While both titles generated considerable pre-release interest, Bhooth Bangla has managed to stay ahead, helped by positive word of mouth and a strong response from family audiences. In a crowded release window, that kind of sustained support can make a decisive difference, and the film appears to be benefiting from exactly that.
One of the biggest strengths of Bhooth Bangla has been Akshay Kumar’s return to comic territory. Viewers have responded positively to his timing, screen presence and ability to carry the film’s lighter moments with ease. The actor has long been associated with comedy, and this outing seems to have reminded audiences of what he does best. For many fans, the film works as a welcome reminder of Akshay’s comfort in the genre.
The film’s blend of spooky moments, humour and family-friendly entertainment has also worked in its favour. Rather than leaning too heavily into scares, Bhooth Bangla balances its tone in a way that appeals to a wide audience base. That mix has helped it draw repeat viewers, particularly during weekend shows, where family turnout has remained encouraging.
Overseas business has further strengthened the film’s overall numbers. Markets with a large Indian diaspora have supported the title well, adding to its global tally. Social media reactions, meanwhile, have remained largely positive, with viewers praising the comedy portions, songs and entertaining stretches of the film.
Trade observers believe the film may still have more room to grow if the current pace continues. Crossing the ₹120 crore mark is already a strong achievement, but Bhooth Bangla could push its total higher in the coming weeks if audience interest holds steady. For Akshay Kumar and the team, the film’s run so far is a solid reminder that well-packaged entertainment still has strong theatrical appeal.
