Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’ Slows on Monday; ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Dominates, ‘Dacoit’ Struggles at Box Office

Mumbai, India | April 21, 2026

The Monday box office trend presented a mixed picture for major releases, with Bhoot Bangla slowing after a strong weekend, while Dhurandhar 2 continued its historic run and Dacoit  struggled to maintain momentum.

👻 ‘Bhoot Bangla’ Faces Monday Test

Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla witnessed a sharp dip on its first Monday, collecting ₹6.75 crore on Day 4, compared to a strong ₹23 crore on Sunday.

The film’s total collection now stands at ₹64.75 crore. Despite a promising opening weekend, the movie appears to be slowing down and may find it challenging to match the success of the actor’s earlier hits.

🔥 ‘Dhurandhar 2’ Maintains Box Office Dominance

Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar 2 continues to dominate even after more than a month in theaters.

• Day 33 Collection (Monday): ₹1.62 crore
• Sunday Collection: ₹5.20 crore
• Total India Collection: ₹1,117.33 crore
• Worldwide Collection: ₹1,791.42 crore

The film has created history by becoming the first Bollywood movie to cross the ₹1000 crore mark domestically, cementing its position as a blockbuster phenomenon.

📉 ‘Dacoit’ Struggles to Sustain Momentum

The bilingual crime drama Dacoit, starring Adivi Sesh and Mrunal Thakur, continues to underperform.

• Day 11 Collection (Monday): ₹0.40 crore
• Sunday Collection: ₹1.46 crore
• Total Collection: ₹32.46 crore

After a modest run, the film’s earnings have now dropped significantly, indicating weak traction among audiences.

🎯 Industry Outlook

Trade analysts say Monday collections often reflect a film’s sustainability beyond the opening weekend. While Dhurandhar 2 continues to show remarkable consistency, Bhoot Bangla will need strong weekday performance to maintain momentum.

Meanwhile, Dacoit faces an uphill battle as its collections decline sharply in the second week.
