Bhoot Bangla Box Office Collection Day 6 LIVE Updates: Priyadarshan's Akshay Kumar-starrer performed well on its first Wednesday in theatres as well. (Credit: Facebook/@Balajimotionpictures)Bhoot Bangla Box Office Collection Day 6 Live Updates: Despite opening to mixed reviews from all quarters, director Priyadarshan’s Akshay Kumar-starrer Bhoot Bangla is continuing its successful run at the box office and is poised to cross the worldwide earnings of the actor’s recent films Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2 soon. Also featuring Tabu and Wamiqa Gabbi in key roles, the horror comedy has already surpassed the Rs 120 crore mark, with its global gross now standing at Rs 127.37 crore.
On Wednesday, Bhoot Bangla recorded an India nett collection of Rs 6.80 crore, taking its total domestic earnings to Rs 89.45 crore, as shared by trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Interestingly, the film is holding strong at the box office, offering Akshay Kumar some respite amid consecutive underperformers over the past few years, and it is performing better than his most recent release, Jolly LLB 3, in daily earnings. While the legal comedy-drama minted Rs 5.5 crore and Rs 6.5 crore in the domestic market on its first Monday and Tuesday, respectively, the horror comedy registered Rs 6.75 crore and Rs 8 crore on the corresponding days.
If the movie manages to maintain the same momentum in the coming days, Bhoot Bangla can overtake Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 145.01 crore) and Sky Force (Rs 150.01 crore) in worldwide collection. However, it remains to be seen whether the horror comedy can surpass other recent Akshay Kumar-starrers such as Jolly LLB (Rs 171.64 crore) and Housefull 5 (Rs 288.67 crore).
Also starring Paresh Rawal, Jisshu Sengupta, and Rajpal Yadav in key roles, Bhoot Bangla is jointly produced by Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R Kapoor under the banners of Balaji Telefilms Ltd and Cape of Good Films.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Akshay Kumar-starrer Bhooth Bangla has earned around Rs 3.42 crore from 9,289 shows as of 8 pm on Thursday.

User @SarcastixStree wrote on X, "Saw BhootBangla yesterday but didnt feel like it was a classic Priyadarshan movie. Akshay Kumar was spitting more than acting. Too over the top. The movie isnt well balanced...hardly any comedy, very little horror and fails to entertain except a few scenes here and there."
User @brijcopeland tweeted, "@akshaykumar Watched Bhoot Bangla and it’s more fun than fear! Akshay Kumar brings his signature comic timing, but the story stays a bit predictable. Still, an entertaining ride if you’re in the mood for light horror with laughs."

User @The_Destroyer_X said via X, "Watched #bhootbangla , a decent watch with some humour in it. The film wanted to be funny at many parts but just couldn't be and ended up cringe but still better than all that crap coming out recently in the name of comedy. Cast's performance was also decent, Akki was good. 3/5."

The 2026 Bollywood box office in India (net collections) is currently dominated by Dhurandhar 2, which leads by a massive margin with Rs 1,121.09 crore, followed by Border 2 at Rs 362.76 crore. Bhooth Bangla is emerging as a strong contender in third place with Rs 89.45 crore, ahead of O’Romeo at Rs 83.35 crore. Mid-tier performers include Mardaani 3 (Rs 52.99 crore) and The Kerala Story 2 (Rs 52.25 crore), while Ikkis has collected Rs 36.25 crore so far. The lower end of the top 10 features Assi with Rs 11.42 crore, Do Deewane Seher Mein at Rs 7.98 crore, and Tu Yaa Main rounding off the list with Rs 7.2 crore.
Sharing the latest update, the makers of Bhooth Bangla humorously said that their “bhooths” are now looking for a new bangla because audiences have completely taken over this one, playfully celebrating the film’s strong response and popularity in cinemas. They called the film 'Nation's most loved film this summer'.
As per a latest post by trade analyst Nishit Shaw on X, Shah Rukh Khan leads the list of actors with the highest number of $1M+ grossers in the USA/Canada with 32 films, followed closely by Akshay Kumar at 30. Salman Khan ranks third with 25, while Hrithik Roshan has 19 and Ajay Devgn stands at 16. Aamir Khan follows with 14, and South Indian stars also feature prominently, with Mahesh Babu at 12, Rajinikanth and Nani tied at 11 each, while Ranveer Singh rounds off the list with 10 such films.
The makers shared the official collection update of the Akshay Kumar-starrer Bhooth Bangla and posted that the film's India gross collections now stands at Rs 105.75 crore. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared that the film made Rs 6.80 crore on Wednesday, talking the India nett of the film to Rs 89.45 crore.
Bhooth Bangla falls short of recreating the iconic comedic magic associated with Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan, largely due to the absence of writer Neeraj Vora. While the film attempts to blend horror and comedy, it lacks the sharp writing, engaging chaos, and memorable character interplay seen in their earlier collaborations. Unlike Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which balanced psychological and mythological elements effectively, Bhooth Bangla leans more into a weaker mytho-horror narrative without a compelling emotional or performance-driven anchor. As a result, the film struggles to deliver the same impact, with its humour and storytelling failing to reach the high standards set by the trio’s past classics. READ MORE
