Bhoot Bangla Box Office Collection Day 7 LIVE Updates: Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy is slowly chugging along at the Indian box office.Bhoot Bangla Box Office Collection Day 7 LIVE Updates: Mixed reviews haven’t slowed down Bhooth Bangla. Directed by Priyadarshan and headlined by Akshay Kumar, the horror-comedy is slowly chugging along at the box office.
On Day 7 (Thursday), Bhooth Bangla added Rs 5.15 crore to its India nett collections, pushing its domestic total to Rs 84.05 crore nett and Rs 99.95 crore gross, as per Sacnilk. The film has already crossed Rs 135.45 crore worldwide—and it now looks set to challenge the lifetime numbers of Kumar’s recent releases Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2.
What makes this run particularly notable is the comparison withAkshay Kumar’s recent outings. After a phase marked by underperformers, Bhooth Bangla appears to be reversing the trend. Its weekday hold has been stronger than Jolly LLB 3, which collected Rs 5.5 crore and Rs 6.5 crore on its first Monday and Tuesday. In contrast, Bhooth Bangla brought in Rs 6.75 crore and Rs 8 crore on the same days—signaling better audience retention.
Looking ahead, the film is well-positioned to cross Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 145.01 crore) and Sky Force (Rs 150.01 crore) globally if the current pace continues. Whether it can push further to match or surpass Jolly LLB (Rs 171.64 crore) and Housefull 5 (Rs 288.67 crore) remains to be seen, but for now, the trajectory is clearly upward.
Bhooth Bangla also features Paresh Rawal, Jisshu Sengupta and Rajpal Yadav in key roles. It is produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor under the banners of Balaji Telefilms and Cape of Good Films.

As of Day 8, Bhooth Bangla is currently running across 3,636 shows and has collected a net of Rs 0.85 Cr by 2:30 pm, as shared by trade site Sacnilk.
Based on current pre-sales and the likelihood of a decent-to-good turnout through over-the-counter ticket sales, Bhooth Bangla is expected to collect around Rs 5 crore net at the Indian box office on Day 8. While the number would be considered decent for a second Friday, it sets a positive foundation for the film to witness healthy growth over the weekend, particularly on Saturday and Sunday.
For Day 8, Bhooth Bangla recorded an advance booking of 97,000 tickets before the first show began, as shared by Koimoi, marking the first time the film dropped below the 1 lakh mark. However, the dip isn’t too concerning as the upcoming weekend is expected to give collections a boost. In terms of earnings, the film grossed ₹2.27 crore (excluding blocked seats) through pre-sales for the second Friday, translating to a net collection of Rs 1.93 crore—reflecting a 5.85% drop compared to Day 7’s Rs 2.05 crore net.

X page Bollywood Update Hindi shared, "#bhoothbangla #akshaykumar #movies #cinema #entertaiment Akshay Kumar's horror comedy film Bhooth Bangla has received a decent response at the box office. The film started off with a good response, but its collections dropped on the fourth day. Due to this decline, the film has not been able to cross the 150 crore mark even after seven days. However, the film is not far from 150 crores. According to reports, Bhooth Bangla has earned a total of 135.45 crores in seven days. To join the 150 crore club, the film still needs 14.55 crores. Before its release, Akshay Kumar's this film was in a lot of discussions and it seemed like it would be a blockbuster. But now, it doesn't seem possible for this film to become a blockbuster. In fact, for this film to become a blockbuster, it will have to earn more than 300 crores, because the budget of this film is approximately 120 to 150 crore rupees. Generally, a film is called a blockbuster only when it earns double the budget. Looking at the declining collections of Bhooth Bangla, it wouldn't be wrong to say now that reaching 300 crores for the film is impossible. That is, this film is not going to be a blockbuster."

X user @suryakant88 posted, "#bhoothbangla movie has no big competition on second week, which means it will score well this week too."
X page @bollywooduphi posted, "#akshaykumar #bhoothbangla Fans had high expectations from Akshay Kumar's film Bhooth Bangla, especially because it was directed by veteran director Priyadarshan. It was anticipated that the film would easily cross the 300–400 crore mark. But after release, the film's momentum wasn't particularly impressive. There's a consistent drop in collections, and now the film is earning less than 10 crore daily. According to reports, on the seventh day, the film collected just 5.15 crore."
Based on reports, Bhoot Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar and directed by Priyadarshan, has witnessed a significant drop in screen count shortly after its release.

Reacting to the Akshay Kumar-starrer Bhooth Bangla, a fan @_mrchaturvedi posted on X, "Jokes can only be good when you can’t predict them and they make some sense or when they are new. Sadly, none of the joke did land for me or felt new.. #bhoothbangla was not a good film at all. Saying this as @akshaykumar fan. But can’t be a blind fan."
X user @yogibabaprod shared, "It's been almost a week since I saw Bhooth Bangla, and I don't even remember what this movie was about. What was the point? This movie has no iconic scene that Priyadarshan's older movies had. The jokes were good but they got irritating after a while and the story made zero sense. It felt like I was trapped in the theater. The legacy of Bhool Bhulaiyaa is hard to recreate... Pls stop ruining it."
