BY SACNILK
Akshay Kumar's latest horror-comedy venture, Bhooth Bangla, has maintained a very impressive momentum throughout its second week. The film managed to collect approximately 43.75 crore net during this period, showing that the genre still holds significant sway over the family audience. If you have been following the box office performance of Akshay’s films in the post-pandemic era, this result is particularly noteworthy as it solidifies the movie as one of his most stable performers in recent years. This steady hold has now pushed the total worldwide gross past the 200 crore milestone, a clear sign of the film's wide acceptance. When we look at the daily trends in national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the second weekend performance was the clear highlight. On the second Friday, the film sold about 16,000 tickets, which saw a massive jump on Saturday to 45,000 bookings. The momentum peaked on the second Sunday with over 57,000 tickets sold in these chains alone. Even on the weekdays, the film showed surprising resilience, especially on Tuesday where it spiked to 32,000 tickets. In total, Bhooth Bangla sold approximately 185,000 tickets across major national chains during its second week, indicating strong ground-level interest in urban centers.
