Bhooth Bangla Crosses ₹60 Crore Worldwide in Two Days, Emerges Strong Challenger to Dhurandhar 2

Akshay Kumar’s latest release Bhooth Bangla has made an impressive start at the box office, crossing ₹60 crore worldwide within just two days of its release. The horror-comedy, directed by Priyadarshan, has witnessed strong growth after a solid opening, indicating a positive response from audiences and steady theatre occupancy.

The film saw a notable jump in collections on its second day, pushing its domestic earnings higher while also performing well in international markets. Trade experts believe the early momentum places it among the top Bollywood openers of 2026. The blend of comedy and horror, coupled with Akshay Kumar’s proven appeal in the genre, has struck a chord with viewers.

Despite stiff competition, Bhooth Bangla has managed to hold its own against Dhurandhar 2. The Ranveer Singh-starrer continues to dominate in terms of overall box office collections, but Bhooth Bangla has emerged as a formidable contender in daily earnings during its opening weekend. The film is further strengthened by its ensemble cast, featuring Paresh Rawal, Tabu, and Rajpal Yadav, whose performances have enhanced its entertainment quotient. Their presence, along with Priyadarshan’s signature comedic style, has added to the film’s family-friendly appeal.
