Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan and starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, along with Wamiqa Gabbi, Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Mithila Palkar, Tabu, Jissu Sengupta, and others, added Rs. 1.50 crore to the tally on its third Wednesday. The horror comedy drama registered a drop of 25 per cent from Tuesday.
Current standing at Rs. 141.50 crore, the Akshay Kumar starrer is looking to wind up its third week at Rs. 143 crore gross. Based on the current trends, the movie will surpass the Rs. 145 crore mark on the fourth weekend, and then it will march towards the Rs. 150 crore nett mark. It is looking to wrap up its entire run around Rs. 155 crore or so.
Akshay Kumar has gone through a rough phase at the box office post-pandemic, with a string of underperformers. Last year was somewhat better with three films doing decently well, although they weren’t a HIT, and now there is finally a HIT film as well.
The industry tends to have a good time when Akshay Kumar is having a good time. He may not give the big Rs. 500 crore grossers, but if one can get two or three HITs or successful films a year, it is equally important, as that keeps the box office ticking. This is something where Akshay Kumar stands out, as others in the industry, except Ajay Devgn, have significantly lower output, with some of them taking two or three years for one film instead. The box office in India is star-driven; it cannot be in good shape if leading stars are not bringing films regularly.
