Bhooth Bangla ended its opening week with healthy collections, both in India and overseas. Since the film marked the reunion of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan after a 10-year gap, there was genuine interest on the ground during the pre-release phase. As a result, it registered a good start at the box office, and over the entire week, it kept enjoying decent traction from the audience. Amid this, it has now emerged as Akshay’s fourth-highest-grossing film internationally in the post-COVID era.
Crosses the 35 crore mark in 7 days
Released on April 17 (full-fledged release), the horror-comedy entertainer opened well in the overseas market and thereafter kept minting moolah due to decent word of mouth. Backed by decent-to-good response in the UAE-GCC region and North America (USA and Canada), the film has pulled in healthy numbers at the overseas box office. According to the latest update, it has grossed an estimated 35.45 crore internationally in 7 days.
