Bhooth Bangla Box Office: Akshay Kumar-led horror comedy records good jump on 4th Saturday, set to hit Rs 150 crore mark
Bhooth Bangla added Rs. 2.75 crore to the tally on its 4th Saturday. The horror comedy drama registered a solid spike of over 35 per cent from Friday and nearly a 50 per cent drop from the last Saturday. This took its running cume to Rs. 145.75 crore nett at the Indian box office.
Directed by Priyadarshan, the movie is looking to collect Rs. 7.25 to 7.5 crore in its 4th weekend, which will take its total cume over the Rs. 150 crore mark. The full 4th week is likely to close around Rs. 11 crore. Though the film will face competition from Pati Patni aur woh do next week, which could lead to some drop in collections, but at this moment it seems good for Rs. 160 crore finish at the Indian box office.
Akshay Kumar has gone through a rough phase at the box office post-pandemic, with a string of underperformers. Last year was somewhat better with three films doing decently well, although they weren’t a HIT, and now there is finally a HIT film as well.
The industry tends to have a good time when Akshay Kumar is having a good time. He may not give the big Rs. 500 crore grossers, but if one can get two or three HITs or successful films a year, it is equally important, as that keeps the box office ticking. This is something where Akshay Kumar stands out, as others in the industry, except Ajay Devgn, have significantly lower output, with some of them taking two or three years for one film instead. The box office in India is star-driven; it cannot be in good shape if leading stars are not bringing films regularly.
