Mumbai, April 28 - It has been quite an explosive year for Bollywood at the box office despite only a few successful films. It was the month of March which witnessed one of the biggest months for Indian cinema, thanks to Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge and April has continued the unstoppable momentum with one more major success in Bhooth Bangla, joining the Ranveer Singh starrer.

April 2026 turned out to be a power-packed month, particularly for Bollywood, driven largely by the blockbuster run of Bhooth Bangla and Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge. Both films not only sustained strong theatrical momentum but also collectively pushed April month's box office well past the 500 crore mark, signalling a robust phase for Hindi cinema.

Dhurandhar 2 and Bhooth Bangla Dominate With 550 Crore Combined Gross

Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 remained the top-performing film throughout April after the earth-shattering 1400+ crores gross in March. Even in its later weeks, the action entertainer continued to attract significant footfall, benefiting from strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership.

While the film had already amassed a massive total in March, its April run added an estimated 280 crore gross in India, and around 350 crores worldwide, with steady weekday holds and notable weekend spikes. The film's global total surged further during the month and currently stands at around 1780 crores gross in 40 days.

Akshay Kumar's Bhooth Bangla delivered an impressive performance as a horror-comedy entertainer. The film crossed the 100 crore mark within the first week and is maintaining a good pace in the second week. In 11 days so far, Priyadarshan's directorial has grossed around 190 crores and is set to enter the 200 crores club in the next few days.

The trade was worried about Bhooth Bangla's box office prospects, because of the strong momentum of Dhurandhar 2. But due to star power and genre appeal, the movie responded solidly to all the doubts with a strong box office performance. It is now heading towards emerging as Akshay Kumar's second biggest grosser in the post-pandemic era.

Together, both Dhurandhar 2 and Bhooth Bangla have added around 550 crores worldwide, including around 425 crores gross at the domestic box office alone.
