Bhooth Bangla has officially cleared its first major weekday hurdle, entering the prestigious 100 crore club worldwide on its fourth day—and doing so with a performance that landed precisely within the range we predicted. As we anticipated, the Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan collaboration navigated the Monday test with surgical precision, reporting a net collection of 6.75 crore in India. While this represents a 70.7 percent drop from Sunday's massive 23 crore haul, the hold is remarkably steady for the horror-comedy genre, confirming that the film has successfully established its weekday rhythm.
Operating across 10,984 shows nationwide, the film has now pushed its total India net collection to a respectable 64.75 crore. The domestic gross currently stands at 77.34 crore, indicating that the film is maintaining a steady grip on the urban and semi-urban circuits. Monday's performance is often the ultimate truth-teller for a film's longevity, and the fact that the movie managed to stay north of the 6 crore mark suggests a healthy interest from the weekday audience.
The occupancy patterns for the first Monday followed a standard weekday trajectory, starting with 8.34 percent in the morning and seeing a gradual incline as the day progressed. The afternoon and evening slots hovered around 15 to 16 percent, but the real surge came during the night shows, which peaked at over 18 percent. This late-night resilience is a positive sign, showing that the core working-class audience in major cities is still opting for the film after hours. Overall, the Hindi circuit reported an average occupancy of 14.48 percent for the day.
The performance in the national cinema chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) provided a clear roadmap for the film's Monday trajectory. After a massive Sunday where the film sold over 1.50 lakh tickets in these chains, the first Monday saw a natural shift toward advance booking reliance. As of Sunday night at 10:00 PM, Bhooth Bangla had tracked approximately 15,500 tickets in advance for Day 4. While this base was more conservative than the weekend highs, it served as a solid foundation that allowed the film to reach its 6.75 crore net finish as walk-in audiences and spot bookings surged during the evening shows.
On the digital front, BookMyShow continues to be a major driver for the film's ticket volume. On its first Monday, the platform tracked approximately 97,000 tickets sold between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM, with a peak booking rate of roughly 8,600 tickets in the 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM window alone. This brings the cumulative ticket sales on the platform to nearly 1.29 million since the film's release. In the broader context of big-ticket Mondays, Bhooth Bangla is currently trailing behind blockbusters like Dhurandhar and War 2, but it remains competitive within its specific genre and budget bracket.
Internationally, the film added 2.50 crore on Day 4, taking its overseas total to 29 crore. This pushes the worldwide gross collection to an impressive 106.34 crore in just four days. Reaching the century mark globally in such a short window is a significant win for the producers, setting a positive tone for the rest of the week as the film looks to consolidate its position at the box office.
The film's global success has been significantly bolstered by a prestigious milestone in the international circuits. Bhooth Bangla has officially crossed the $1 million mark the very next day of its overseas opening, marking Akshay Kumar's fourth film to register a $1 million-plus international debut in the post-pandemic era. This achievement confirms the immense pull of the Akshay-Priyadarshan brand among the NRI audience, specifically in key markets like North America and the Gulf.
