Bhooth Bangla Day 35 Box Office: Akshay Kumar Starrer Continues Steady Run, Crosses ₹158 Cr Net India

Priyadarshan's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, continues its impressive theatrical journey at the Indian box office. As per early estimates for Day 35, the film is expected to add another ₹0.76 crore to its India net collection. With this, the estimated total Net India collection for Bhooth Bangla now stands at a formidable ₹158.54 crore, while the Gross India collections have reached an estimated ₹187.08 crore.

Released on 2026-04-17, Bhooth Bangla quickly established itself as a performer. The film's strong opening day, which saw an estimated collection of ₹11.50 crore, set the tone for a successful run. Its Week 1 total soared to an estimated ₹78.50 crore, followed by a solid Week 2 total of ₹39.40 crore, demonstrating decent holding power even after the initial rush.

This past week, from Day 29 to Day 35 (May 15 to May 21), Bhooth Bangla garnered an estimated ₹7.39 crore. This marks a notable decline compared to the previous week (Day 22 to Day 28), which accumulated an estimated ₹13.82 crore. The dip is largely in line with normal weekday patterns and the natural progression for a film entering its fifth week, indicating that while new releases have started to take hold, Bhooth Bangla still finds pockets of audience.

It's important for our readers to understand the difference between Net India and Gross India collections. The Gross India collection of ₹187.08 crore represents the total value of tickets sold across India. From this, the government's entertainment tax is deducted, and what remains is the Net India collection, which currently stands at ₹158.54 crore. This Net figure is what determines the distributor's share and is typically used for box office verdicts.

With a reported budget of ₹120.00 crore, Bhooth Bangla has already delivered a substantial return on investment. The film's ROI vs Budget currently stands at an impressive 132% based on its India net collections, solidifying its 'Hit' verdict. This robust performance, driven by the star power of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan's signature blend of horror and comedy, highlights the audience's appetite for well-executed genre films, especially those with a nostalgic director-actor pairing.

The strong theatrical run of Bhooth Bangla is likely to significantly influence its post-theatrical revenue streams. A successful box office performance typically translates into higher bids for OTT and satellite rights. While an official announcement regarding its digital premiere is yet to be made, its current momentum suggests a premium valuation for these rights, potentially leading to a lucrative deal for the producers.

Given its current trajectory and the typical decline for films in their fifth week, Bhooth Bangla is projected to finish its India box office run in the range of ₹160-165 crore Net India. The film has already proven its mettle, achieving a clear 'Hit' status and adding another success to the esteemed careers of its lead star and director. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the horror-comedy genre when executed with experience and mass appeal.
