Trade tracker Sacnilk said the horror-comedy added Rs 23 crore on Sunday as positive word of mouth lifted its three-day domestic total to Rs 58 crore.

  • On Tuesday, April 21, 2026, the horror comedy Bhooth Bangla reported a total India gross of Rs 77.45 crore after three days in theaters, marking a strong opening weekend.
  • Driving initial interest, actor Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan reunited after 14 years for the project. Their previous collaborations established a signature style of chaotic comedy that audiences eagerly anticipated.
  • Collections jumped from Rs 12.25 crore on Friday to Rs 19 crore on Saturday and Rs 23 crore on Sunday, demonstrating strong momentum throughout the opening weekend.
