At a time when many theatrical runs lose steam after the opening burst, Bhooth Bangla is doing the opposite. The Akshay Kumar led horror comedy has crossed Rs 128 crore nett in India, and its second Monday number has given exhibitors one more sign that this reunion with Priyadarshan has connected beyond the first weekend crowd.
That is what makes the current phase of its run especially notable. The film came out strong, stayed composed through its first week, then used the second weekend to post another healthy jump, keeping itself firmly in the conversation as one of Hindi cinema’s steadier April 2026 performers.
Second Monday Hold Keeps The Run Alive
According to the latest officially shared India nett figures, Bhooth Bangla collected Rs 3.25 crore on its second Monday, taking its cumulative domestic total to Rs 128 crore nett.
The film had ended its first week at Rs 95.15 crore nett after collecting Rs 17.90 crore on Friday, including Thursday night previews, followed by Rs 21.75 crore on Saturday and Rs 25.60 crore on Sunday. Its weekday run then added Rs 8.10 crore on Monday, Rs 9.30 crore on Tuesday, Rs 6.80 crore on Wednesday and Rs 5.70 crore on Thursday.
In the second weekend, Bhooth Bangla added Rs 6.35 crore on Friday, Rs 11.50 crore on Saturday and Rs 12.15 crore on Sunday before the expected dip on Monday. With the film now at Rs 128 crore nett, the current trend still points toward a finish beyond Rs 140 crore nett in India if the weekday pattern remains supportive.

Why The Akshay Kumar Priyadarshan Reunion Clicked
Bhooth Bangla is a Hindi horror comedy directed by Priyadarshan and led by Akshay Kumar, a combination that naturally carried audience recall even before release. The film was produced by Akshay Kumar, Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor under Cape of Good Films and Balaji Motion Pictures, with an ensemble cast that includes Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi and Jisshu Sengupta.
Released in April 2026, the film leans into a familiar yet crowd friendly mix of spooky set pieces, broad comedy and ensemble interplay. That commercial blend, along with the nostalgia attached to Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan sharing space again, appears to have worked in its favour. At the box office, the film has already established itself as a clear success, and its current hold suggests it still has room left in the tank before wrapping up its theatrical run.
