Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 9: Bhooth Bangla quickly becomes one of 2026’s most talked about Bollywood releases, led by a strong opening.
The horror comedy earns the best first-day box office for an Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan film. Yet weekday collections soften after the initial surge, and trade watchers now focus on how well the film holds. The project carries emotional value for cinema fans because it showcases late actor Asrani in a final theatrical role. That farewell, combined with nostalgia for Priyadarshan’s earlier work and Akshay Kumar’s return to horror comedy, keeps the film in conversation. Social media discussions highlight this mix of sentiment and curiosity about the collaboration.
Bhooth Bangla marks Priyadarshan’s return to Bollywood horror comedy 19 years after Bhool Bhulaiyaa. The film also ends a 14-year gap between Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar, making the partnership a key draw. Many viewers enter theatres keen to see whether the director recreates the tone of earlier hits. Alongside Akshay Kumar, Bhooth Bangla pairs the star with Wamiqa Gabbi for the first time. The line-up also includes Asrani, Mithila Palkar, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav and Jisshu Sengupta. This multi-generational cast allows the film to target family audiences, with horror elements balanced by broad comedy.
