Bhooth Bangla is not just holding its ground at the box office, it is turning its second weekend into a full-blown victory lap. In a market where many films lose momentum after the opening rush, Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s horror comedy has done the reverse, pushing past Rs 125 crore nett in India and proving that its theatrical pull remains firmly intact.
After ending its first week at Rs 95.15 crore nett, Bhooth Bangla entered its second weekend with enough strength to convert a steady Friday into a major jump over Saturday and Sunday. The film collected Rs 6.35 crore on Friday, followed by Rs 11.50 crore on Saturday and Rs 12.15 crore on Sunday, taking its 10-day total to Rs 125.15 crore nett in India. That climb matters because it shows the film did not merely survive the weekday stretch, it returned with force once the weekend crowd came back in.
A Rock-Solid Second Weekend Powers Past Rs 125 Crore
The second weekend surge has now placed Bhooth Bangla in a commanding position for the rest of its run. More importantly, the pattern suggests that audiences are treating the film as a dependable theatrical choice rather than a one-weekend event. The weekend growth gave the film fresh momentum, and that kind of hold is often the clearest sign that a crowd-pleaser has found its lane.
That sustained run also says something important about why the film has worked. Bhooth Bangla arrived with the built-in excitement of an Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan reunion, and the box office trend shows that audiences have embraced exactly that combination. Once the nostalgia factor brought viewers in, the film’s commercial format gave them a reason to keep it going through the second weekend.

The Reunion Formula Behind Bhooth Bangla’S Run
Bhooth Bangla is a 2026 Hindi horror comedy directed by Priyadarshan, with Akshay Kumar leading a film designed as a mainstream theatrical entertainer. The collaboration itself was a major draw, given the duo’s long-standing association with broad-based comic hits. This time, that familiar comic rhythm was placed inside a haunted haveli setting, allowing the film to play with supernatural confusion, physical humour and old-school crowd-pleasing set pieces.
That genre blend has given Bhooth Bangla a clear identity in theatres. Instead of selling itself only on nostalgia, the film has offered audiences a recognisable Akshay Kumar-Priyadarshan comic setup with a horror backdrop that feels accessible to family viewers. The mysterious mansion premise, mixed with comic disorder and spooky twists, has helped the film stand out as a commercial entertainer with a strong big-screen hook, and its box office run is now reflecting that appeal in real time.
