Mumbai, India — April 25, 2026
The Indian box office is witnessing an intense clash of genres and star power, with Dhurandhar 2 continuing its historic run while Bhooth Bangla steadily marches toward the coveted ₹100 crore milestone.
Bhooth Bangla Shows Strong Momentum
Despite stiff competition from a blockbuster, Bhooth Bangla has maintained a solid grip at the ticket counters. The horror-comedy, featuring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav, completed one week in theaters with consistent earnings.
On Day 7 (Thursday), the film collected ₹5.50 crore, followed by a slight jump to ₹5.75 crore on Day 8 (Friday). Its total domestic box office collection now stands at ₹90.15 crore. With the weekend ahead, trade analysts expect the film to comfortably cross the ₹100 crore mark.
Globally, Bhooth Bangla has already amassed ₹144.70 crore, signaling strong audience traction beyond India.
Dhurandhar 2 Continues Record-Breaking Run
Directed by Aditya Dhar and led by Ranveer Singh, Dhurandhar 2 remains a box office phenomenon even after more than a month in theaters.
The action-spy thriller earned ₹1.55 crore on Day 36 and ₹1.60 crore on Day 37, pushing its total domestic collection to an impressive ₹1,124.24 crore. Worldwide, the film has surged to ₹1,768.66 crore, cementing its status as one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.
Dacoit Struggles to Stay Afloat
Meanwhile, Dacoit is nearing the end of its theatrical run. The action-romantic film saw a sharp decline in collections, earning just ₹50 lakh on Day 14 and ₹25 lakh on Day 15.
Its total net collection now stands at ₹34.37 crore, reflecting a significant drop in audience interest amid heavy competition.
Michael Opens on a Decent Note
The biographical drama Michael, based on the life of global music icon Michael Jackson, hit theaters on April 24.
The film recorded an opening day collection of ₹3.80 crore, along with ₹1.70 crore from paid previews. Its total stands at ₹5.50 crore so far. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and featuring Jaafar Jackson in the lead role, the film has generated curiosity among fans, though its long-term performance will depend on word-of-mouth.
Ginny Weds Sunny 2 Opens Slow
Romantic comedy sequel Ginny Weds Sunny 2 had a lukewarm start at the box office. The film earned approximately ₹30 lakh on its opening day, indicating a slow response from audiences.
Starring Medha Shankar and Avinash Tiwary, the film faces an uphill battle in a crowded theatrical landscape.
