The magic of the Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan duo has officially struck gold once again. After a gap of 16 years, the legendary pair has proven that their brand of comedy is timeless. Their latest horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, has officially stormed past the ₹125 crore mark at the Indian box office, marking a major cinematic comeback for the Khiladi of Bollywood.

A Blockbuster Second Weekend

While many films struggle after their opening week, Bhooth Bangla showed incredible resilience. According to the reports, the film witnessed a massive 87% surge on its second Saturday, followed by a “Bumper Sunday.”

The Century Mark: The film officially entered the ₹100 crore club on Saturday, Day 9.
Sunday Surge: On Day 10 (April 26), the film raked in an estimated ₹13.5 crore, pushing its total well beyond the ₹125 crore milestone.
Worldwide Dominance: From our perspective, the global performance is even more impressive. With a strong NRI fan base contributing heavily, the worldwide gross has now crossed ₹180 crore, eyeing the elusive ₹200 crore global finish line.

Why Bhooth Bangla is a Hit

In my opinion, the success of Bhooth Bangla isn’t just about the numbers; it’s about the “Priyadarshan touch.” The film marks the return of the iconic ensemble including Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Asrani, creating a chaotic, laugh-out-loud atmosphere that audiences have craved since Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007).

As per the sources, the film managed this feat despite significant hurdles. Not only is it competing with the peak IPL 2026 season, but it is also holding its ground against the massive run of Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. This “Powerhouse” performance proves that high-quality comedy remains one of the most reliable genres in Indian cinema.

1. What is the total India net collection so far? As of Day 10 (April 26, 2026), the film has netted approximately ₹126.27 – ₹127.27 crore in India.

2. Is it Akshay Kumar’s biggest hit post-COVID? According to the reports, it has entered his top 5 highest-grossing films in the post-COVID era, surpassing the domestic lifetimes of Jolly LLB 3 and Kesari Chapter 2. It is currently trailing only behind Housefull 5 and Sooryavanshi.

Final Thoughts

Bhooth Bangla has officially ended the “dry spell” for mid-budget comedies in Bollywood. By blending mythology, Vedas, and classic slapstick, Priyadarshan has reminded us why he is the master of the genre. From our perspective, the film’s ability to pull audiences away from the IPL and into the theaters is the clearest evidence yet of Akshay Kumar’s enduring stardom. As the film moves into its third week, the ₹150 crore domestic milestone is well within its reach
