Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan’s reunion with Bhooth Bangla has delivered winning returns at the box office, taking a strong start in India and decent business overseas.
The horror-comedy has beaten some leading hits in the category, but hasn't quite reached the top, raking in a global haul of ₹24 crore in the first day.
Bhooth Bangla sits near the top of the table in the growing list of Bollywood’s horror-comedies, managing to upstage Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s opening, but lags behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Thamma.
The film, directed by Priyadarshan and starring Akshay Kumar, Tabu, and Wamiqa Gabbi, marks the director’s return to Hindi films after five years and his first collaboration with Akshay Kumar in 14 years.
