Akshay Kumar's 'Bhooth Bangla' aims for $25 Cr Day 1
14 Mar
Summary
- Bhooth Bangla releasing April 10, a non-holiday release.
- Akshay's films rarely crossed ₹20 crore on opening day post-COVID.
- Film reunites Akshay with director Priyadarshan, sparking hope.

Akshay Kumar is poised for a significant comeback with his upcoming horror-comedy, 'Bhooth Bangla,' scheduled for a theatrical debut on April 10. This release marks a reunion with acclaimed director Priyadarshan, a partnership that has historically delivered box office successes. The film is generating considerable anticipation, with trade analysts expecting a strong performance.
Following a string of underperforming movies since the pandemic, the industry is keen to see if 'Bhooth Bangla' can break Akshay's dry spell. His post-COVID releases have largely struggled, with only 'Sooryavanshi' managing to cross the ₹25 crore mark on its opening day, collecting ₹26.29 crore net in 2021. No other film starring Akshay has hit this milestone in the four years since.
'Bhooth Bangla' is a non-holiday release, but the combination of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, coupled with a promising trailer and popular music, fuels speculation that it could replicate the opening-day success of 'Sooryavanshi.' Industry experts are watching closely to see if it can achieve the ₹25 crore opening day collection.
