The iconic duo of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan has once again struck gold as 'Bhooth Bangla' officially enters the coveted Rs. 100 crore club in India. As of Monday, April 27, 2026, the horror-comedy maintains a rock-solid grip at the box office.
The worldwide gross stands at a robust Rs. 179.48 crore after Day 10's strong Rs. 12.50 crore collection, marking the film's biggest single day since its opening Sunday. As is standard for any theatrical release, Monday brings a natural dip after a massive second-weekend surge that saw collections jump by 87% on Saturday. However, with Rs. 113 crore in India net and a worldwide gross approaching Rs. 180 crore, the film has firmly established itself as Akshay Kumar's most significant box office comeback in years, even with the ongoing IPL 2026 season and the steady run of 'Dhurandhar 2'.
