This horror-comedy starring Akshay Kumar and Wamiqa Gabbi has maintained a strong grip on the box office since its opening days. The film’s performance has been so impressive that it appears to be giving tough competition to Ranveer Singh’s film ‘Dhurandhar’, which had been dominating the charts.
After a grand opening weekend, a slight dip in the film’s pace was observed on Monday, which is typical for any movie. Despite this, there was no significant impact on the total earnings of ‘Bhoot Bangla’, and the film maintained its steady hold.
Within just four days, the film has crossed a massive milestone worldwide, clearly reflecting its popularity and the craze building among the audience. Now, everyone is watching to see how many more new records ‘Bhoot Bangla’ will set at the box office in the coming days.
‘Bhoot Bangla’ has crossed the 100 crore mark worldwide within just four days of its release. Notably, the film has received mixed reviews from the audience, and the IPL season is also ongoing; despite these factors, it has maintained a strong grip at the box office.
Looking at the earning statistics, after the opening weekend, the film collected a net of approximately 6.75 crore rupees in India on the first Monday, i.e., the fourth day. With this, the total net collection in the country over four days reached 64.75 crore rupees, while the gross collection was recorded at 77.34 crore rupees.
The film’s performance overseas has also been good. On the fourth day, it added about 2.50 crore rupees in the overseas market, bringing its total international earnings to 29 crore rupees. Combining all these figures, the total worldwide collection of ‘Bhoot Bangla’ has now reached 106.34 crore rupees, placing it among films with a strong opening.
The story of ‘Bhoot Bangla’ revolves around Arjun Acharya, played by Akshay Kumar. Arjun makes grand arrangements to make his sister Mira’s wedding special. For this grand ceremony, he chooses his family’s ancestral mansion located in Mangalpur, which they inherited from their estranged grandfather.
During the wedding preparations, everything seems normal and full of excitement, but conditions gradually begin to change. The family has no idea that the mansion where they are celebrating is linked to mysterious and scary events. As the story progresses, secrets related to the mansion begin to unfold, and a blend of comedy along with horror is seen in the atmosphere. This mixture makes the film an interesting horror-comedy experience.
