Bhooth Bangla is a horror comedy film directed by Priyadarshan. It marks the reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after several successful collaborations in the past.
The film stars a notable cast including Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rajpal Yadav. It was released in theaters across India on April 17, 2026.
As of midday, Bhooth Bangla has collected ₹3.5 crore from paid previews before its full release. On its opening day, it garnered ₹12.61 crore.
By the end of the first day, total India gross collections reached ₹18.90 crore. Approximately 1.3 lakh tickets were sold on this opening day.
The film’s digital rights have been acquired by Netflix. It is expected to arrive online sometime in June or early July—typically within 45 to 60 days after theatrical release.
However, critics have mixed feelings about the film. One review mentioned that while the narrative may feel familiar, it leans on performances to keep things engaging.
Yet another critic pointed out that the core story seems recycled from decades ago, offering nothing fresh. Details remain unconfirmed regarding audience reception beyond initial box office figures.
Looking ahead, observers will be watching how Bhooth Bangla performs in the coming days against other releases like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which had an opening day haul of ₹14.50 crore.
