Bhooth Bangla has made its debut in cinemas with a promising start, giving both fans and industry watchers plenty to talk about. Starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan, this horror comedy has already generated some buzz thanks to its paid preview performance.
Early estimates suggest the film has raked in about Rs 2.75 crore to Rs 3 crore from its limited preview shows. What’s particularly interesting is that the numbers are trending upwards, indicating that it might even surpass the Rs 3 crore mark once the final figures are tallied. For a film that opened with limited screenings, this is considered a solid start.

Apr 17, 2026With such a strong beginning, expectations for the opening day are already climbing. Early trends indicate that Bhooth Bangla could achieve a double-digit opening day, with projections ranging from Rs 12 crore to Rs 16 crore, including preview collections. However, the real challenge will come once the film is fully released, as audience feedback will be crucial in determining its long-term success.
In addition to Akshay Kumar, the film boasts a talented ensemble cast featuring Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, and others, which adds to its overall appeal. The mix of horror and comedy, along with familiar faces, seems to be working in its favor so far.
As the film enters its first full day at the box office, all eyes are on whether it can keep this momentum going and turn early curiosity into a strong weekend performance.
