Bhooth Bangla Worldwide Box Office Day 7: Akshay's Struggles To Touch 150cr; Fails To Beat Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3

Bhooth Bangla Worldwide Box Office Collection Day 7: Bhooth Bangla arrives in Indian cinemas on 17 April amid a packed line-up of new releases. The horror comedy opens to strong curiosity at home, showing early steadiness at the box office. That stability suggests a decent start in India, even as other titles crowd the same window. The film brings Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan back together after a 14-year break. For Akshay Kumar, it marks a return to horror comedy following a five-year pause from this genre. Priyadarshan treats Bhooth Bangla as a second horror comedy venture in Bollywood after Hungama 2, released in 2021.

The cast of Bhooth Bangla includes Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, Mithila Palkar and Jisshu Sengupta. Akshay Kumar appears alongside Wamiqa Gabbi for the first time, and this new combination attracts extra attention. The blend of experienced comic actors and younger faces aims to appeal to a wide family audience. With its light-hearted tone, Bhooth Bangla slots into the horror comedy space rather than full-throttle horror. The film enters a busy 17 April release schedule, yet maintains initial box office stability in India. Its long-term performance will depend on word of mouth from family viewers and genre fans.

Meanwhile, in a conversation with Bollywood Life, director Priyadarshan spoke about the comparisons between Bhooth Bangla and Bhool Bhulaiyaa and stated, "This is completely different because the only nostalgia you get is because of these actors. Otherwise, that was a psychological thriller (Bhool Bhulaiyaa) and Bhoot Bangla is complete fantasy, like, will it happen or not? It could happen, or it could not happen. Bhoot Bangla is inspired by what we have in our folklore, mythology and superstitions".
