Priyadarshan's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, witnessed a predictable dip on Monday following a strong weekend run. Despite the weekday slowdown, the film has managed to surpass the ₹115 crore mark at the domestic box office in its second week.
According to the trade website Sacnilk, Bhooth Bangla collected ₹3.65 crore in India on Monday, taking its domestic total to ₹117.05 crore. Given that it’s a weekday, the film saw a dip in occupancy and collections.
The film had collected ₹84.40 crore in its first week of release. On its second Friday, Bhooth Bangla collected ₹5.75 crore. As the weekend approached, collections spiked, bringing in ₹10.75 crore on Saturday and ₹12.50 crore on Sunday.
The film saw around 10% occupancy on its second Monday. Bhooth Bangla has also grossed the ₹150 crore mark worldwide. The film crossed the lifetime collections of horror comedies like Bhediya (₹68.99 crore) and Munjya (₹102.54 crore). It now has films such as Stree (₹129.83 crore) and Thamma (₹134.78 crore) to contend with.
