Meanwhile, competition for Bhoot Bangla, at the box office remains strong. Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge continues its impressive run with worldwide collections of Rs 1,780.76 crore so far. The film is also set to face fresh competition this weekend with the releases of Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, and Raja Shivaji, featuring Riteish Deshmukh.
After a strong theatrical run, Bhooth Bangla has officially crossed the Rs 200 crore mark at the worldwide box office. The film had already amassed an impressive Rs 199.50 crore in just 13 days, and has now edged past the milestone, riding on steady footfalls and positive audience reception in its second week.
With this feat, the Akshay Kumar-led horror-comedy becomes the third Bollywood film of 2026 to enter the Rs 200 crore global club, following Dhurandhar 2 and Border 2.
Here’s a look at Akshay Kumar’s films that have crossed the Rs 200 crore mark globally:
2.0 (2018) – Rs 691 Cr

Housefull 4 (2019) – Rs 296 Cr
Sooryavanshi (2021) – Rs 293 Cr

Rustom (2016) – Rs 216.35 Cr
Kesari (2019) – Rs 208.80 Cr
Bhooth Bangla (2026) – Rs 200+ Cr
Over the years, Akshay Kumar has consistently delivered hits across genres, building a formidable box office track record. His impressive list of global Rs 200 crore grossers includes films like 2.0, Good Newwz, Mission Mangal, Sooryavanshi, and Housefull 4, each contributing to his reputation as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars.
Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy entertainer Bhooth Bangla has reached a major box office milestone by surpassing the Rs 200 crore mark worldwide. With this achievement, the film becomes Akshay Kumar’s 12th movie to enter the prestigious Rs 200 crore global club.
Bhooth Bangla has officially emerged as the fourth-highest-grossing horror-comedy, with a worldwide collection of over Rs 200 cr, in Bollywood history. In an impressive second-week run, the film has gone past the lifetime collections of major hits like Stree (Rs 180 crore), Thamma (Rs 171 crore), and Sikandar (Rs 176 crore), further cementing its strong box office performance.
Bhooth Bangla has emerged as a major success in the horror-comedy space, crossing Rs 200 crore worldwide within just 13 days. However, in the larger box office landscape, films like Stree 2 (Rs 875+ crore), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 266.88 crore), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (Rs 400+ crore) continue to dominate the horror-comedy genre rankings by a significant margin.
Bhooth Bangla vs Michael at the box office presents an interesting contrast in trends and scale. Bhooth Bangla, led by Akshay Kumar, is clearly ahead in India with a much stronger cumulative total, and continues to bring in steady collections even into its second week despite weekday drops.
On the other hand, Michael—the biographical musical on Michael Jackson starring Jaafar Jackson—has shown resilience despite mixed to negative reviews. In India, the film earned Rs 2.3 crore on its sixth day, taking its total net collection to Rs 23.45 crore, while its gross stands at Rs 28.07 crore, according to Sacnilk.
Overall, Bhooth Bangla dominates the domestic box office, while Michael relies more on its worldwide pull and niche audience interest.
Trade analyst Sumit Kadel shared via X, "BOX OFFICE PREDICTION #ekdin (starring #junaidkhan and #saipallavi ) is set for a dismal opening at the box office. Day 1: ₹10–15 lakh nett #rajashivaji (Hindi) - Initially positioned as a pan-India film, it is now seeing a limited release in Hindi. Day 1: ₹1–1.50 crore nett #bhoothbangla is expected to continue its dominance in the third week as well."
Reacting to the upcoming releases, a fan @Sakshi5164 posted on X, "Looks like #bhoothbangla will easily dominate while Ek Din struggles due to low buzz. Raja Shivaji might do decent if word of mouth clicks."
Advance bookings for the May 1 holiday releases remain largely closed across several key centres due to a major screen-sharing conflict in cinemas. According to reports, exhibitors are facing a programming deadlock as multiple new releases—led by Raja Shivaji—are competing for screens against holdover films like Bhooth Bangla and Michael. With limited screens and high demand from distributors, theatre owners are struggling to finalize show allocations, especially in major markets like Mumbai. This intense “screen war” has delayed bookings, turning the situation into a crucial test for exhibitors as they attempt to balance new releases with already performing films.
As per the latest updates from Sacnilk, Raja Shivaji, starring Riteish Deshmukh, has recorded an All-India advance booking gross of Rs 1.95 Cr (excluding block seats), which rises to Rs 2.63 Cr including block bookings. The film has sold a total of 75,346 tickets across 2812 shows nationwide.
A high-stakes box office clash is expected to unfold between Bhooth Bangla and the upcoming Raja Shivaji. While Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy has crossed Rs 200 crore globally, Ritesh Deshmukh's historical drama might slow its run even further.
A fan @3Murnal95707 posted, "#bhoothbangla Now shows slowly started to allot for 1 may Delhi till now Raja shivaji 188 show Bhootbangla 278 show."
X user @Vishal064088 posted, "#bhoothbhangla is unstoppable and showing strong buzz in weekdays. Entered in the TOP 10 list of Akshay Kumar's filmography and will cross #omg2 nett collections in 3rd weekend. Back to Bake success for Akshay Kumar. #bhoothbangla is a HIT."
On Day 13, Bhooth Bangla collected Rs 3.40 Cr at the box office, marking a noticeable 21.8% drop from the previous day’s Rs 4.35 Cr. The decline reflects the typical weekday slowdown after the second weekend, with footfall easing across most regions, especially in morning shows.
The film's producers shared on Wednesday night, "MADNESS HAS A NEW ADDRESS! as Bhooth Bangla clocks Rs 203.65 crore* GBOC worldwide." Presented by Balaji Telefilms Ltd in association with Cape of Good Films, the film is directed by Priyadarshan and is now running in cinemas.
Bhooth Bangla has now reached a worldwide total of Rs 199.38 crore. The film has already surpassed the lifetime collections of Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 145.01 crore), Sky Force (Rs 150.01 crore), and Jolly LLB 3 (Rs 171.64 crore). However, going by its current pace, it may not be able to cross Housefull 5, which stands significantly higher at Rs 288.67 crore worldwide.
On Day 13, Bhooth Bangla saw varied occupancy trends across major regions in its Hindi run. The National Capital Region (NCR) recorded 9.3% occupancy across 992 shows, while Mumbai performed slightly better at 11.3% across 677 shows.
