Bhooth Bangla has taken a thunderous start at the box office, collecting an impressive ₹21.60 crore on its opening day in India. The horror-comedy, headlined by Akshay Kumar, has not only lived up to expectations but has also surpassed them with a powerful debut.

Ever since its announcement, the film generated massive buzz, and the trailer further built anticipation by promising a perfect blend of humour and spooky thrills. Now that the film has hit theatres, the audience response has translated into strong numbers.

The film’s opening day collection reflects solid word of mouth and high audience interest. With ₹21.60 crore in its kitty on day one, Bhooth Bangla has outperformed several of Akshay Kumar’s recent releases, marking a significant moment for the actor at the box office.

Industry trends suggest that the film has struck the right chord with family audiences, thanks to its mix of comedy, horror, and nostalgia. If the momentum continues over the weekend, Bhooth Bangla is expected to register an even bigger total in the coming days.

Directed by Priyadarshan, the film also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav in key roles. Backed by Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, the film is currently running in theatres.

With such a strong opening, all eyes are now on how Bhooth Bangla performs over its first weekend.
