Mumbai, India — April 20, 2026
Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla witnessed a noticeable slowdown at the box office on its first Monday, following an impressive opening weekend that boosted its overall collections past the ₹60 crore mark.
According to early estimates from industry tracker Sacnilk, the film earned approximately ₹4.06 crore on Day 4 (Monday). While the figure may see slight revisions as final numbers come in, the drop reflects a typical weekday trend after strong weekend momentum.
Monday Test Performance
After a robust theatrical debut, Bhooth Bangla faced its first real test on Monday. The film’s earnings dipped significantly compared to Sunday’s numbers, indicating a cooling pace in footfall after the initial surge.
Despite the decline, the film has managed to maintain a steady hold, supported by positive word-of-mouth and limited competition at the box office.
4-Day Box Office Breakdown
The film opened with solid numbers and saw steady growth over the weekend:
- Day 0 (Paid Previews): ₹3.75 crore
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹12.25 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹19 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹23 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹4.06 crore* (early estimates)
This takes the film’s total domestic box office collection to approximately ₹62.06 crore within four days of release.
Star Power and Comeback Collaboration
Bhooth Bangla marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan after a gap of 14 years, a collaboration that has historically delivered several hit films.
The movie also features a strong ensemble cast including Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar, and late Asrani in key roles.
Box Office Outlook
Trade analysts suggest that while the Monday dip was expected, the film’s long-term performance will depend on its weekday stability and upcoming weekend growth. With no major new releases posing immediate competition, Bhooth Bangla could continue to add to its total in the coming days.
