Bhooth Bangla collection: Akshay Kumar-led horror comedy Bhooth Bangla opened to decent numbers at the domestic box office. The horror comedy flick opened at ₹15 crore, including its paid previews.
Bhooth Bangla made ₹3.50 crore from its paid previews and ₹12.25 crore from its day 1. With this, the film's total India box office collection so far stands at ₹15.75 crore, translating into total domestic gross earnings of ₹18.90 crore.
With this, the film has topped the opening day domestic box office collections of Akshay Kumar's post-pandemic releases like Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (₹15.50 crore), Ram Setu (₹15.20 crore), and Bachchan Paandey (₹13.25 crore).

The film has managed to cross the India day 1 collections of Kartik Aaryan-led Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which earned ₹21 crore worldwide.
The film, however, is behind the likes of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, Thamma, and Stree 2. While Priyadarshan's directorial Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned ₹53 crore, Thamma earned ₹31 crore. Stree 2 remains the highest-grossing horror comedy at the box office, with ₹80 crore.
The film is likely to witness a strong jump in its box office numbers over the weekend due to positive word of mouth, according to film trade analysts.
