Bhooth Bangla Day 26 Box Office: Tuesday Net Touches Rs. 1.70 Cr, Surpassing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 To Rank 16th All-Time

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla is proving that the horror-comedy genre has a very deep reservoir of audience interest, even as it nears the end of its first month in theatres. On its 26th day, which fell on a Tuesday, the film netted 1.70 crore across the domestic market. What is particularly interesting here is the 26 per cent jump in collections compared to Monday's haul of 1.35 crore. This kind of mid-week growth in the fourth week is a clear indicator that the film is running on a sustained rhythm rather than just early momentum. To put this performance into perspective, this Tuesday's haul has placed the project at the 16th spot among the top 50 highest Day 26 collections in Hindi cinema history. It has managed to outpace several massive hits within the same genre. Specifically, it moved past the Day 26 numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which earned 1.29 crore, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which stood at 1.10 crore. Even the original Stree, which was known for its incredible endurance, recorded a lower 0.87 crore on its 26th day. This comparison highlights just how robust the current run has been for this latest instalment. The film's performance today has earned it a spot among the all-time greats, as it now ranks 18th in the list of the highest Day 26 collections in Indian cinema history. Check out the Top 50 Day 26 Box Office Collections here This steady flow of interest is clearly reflected in the digital bookings as well. On BookMyShow, the film recorded approximately 35 thousand ticket sales for the day, bringing its total ticket tally on the platform to over 3 million since its release. With 4,059 shows still running across India, the movie has managed to reach a domestic net total of 161.80 crore. This translates to an India gross of 191.90 crore, showing that the movie remains a significant contributor to the theatrical ecosystem nearly a month after its debut. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The major national multiplex chains continue to act as a steady fuel source for these earnings. On Tuesday, PVR led the contributions with approximately 7.6 thousand tickets sold. INOX followed with about 4.9 thousand, and Cinepolis chipped in with roughly 3 thousand tickets. When you look at the combined total of over 15 thousand tickets from these three major chains, it is evident that urban centers are still providing a healthy flow of patrons. This steady participation from premium venues is what allows the film to maintain a respectable average despite being in its fourth week. Looking at specific regions like the National Capital Region (NCR), the performance is quite granular. With nearly 500 shows running in this belt alone, the overall occupancy stood at a healthy 19.3 percent. Interestingly, the interest peaked during the night shows at 24 percent, while the morning shows started at a modest 10 percent. This late-day surge is a typical trend for horror-themed films, where the evening atmosphere often draws in a larger crowd looking for a communal viewing experience. On the international front, the film is wrapping up its run with a smaller but consistent contribution, adding 0.05 crore on its 26th day. This takes the total overseas bounty to 53.20 crore. When we consolidate the domestic gross and international receipts, the worldwide gross collection has now climbed to 245.10 crore. The film is now essentially on a final dash toward the 250 crore milestone globally, a figure that cements its status as a major commercial winner. Ultimately, the logic behind these numbers suggests that Bhooth Bangla has tapped into a demographic that values theatrical longevity over a front-loaded opening. By consistently outperforming established benchmarks in its fourth week, the film has secured its place as a reliable performer. As the theatrical window begins to narrow, the focus will be on how much further it can push its lifetime record before making its digital transition.

Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge is showing a level of durability that most sequels struggle to achieve, especially as it enters its 55th day in theaters. This Tuesday, the film added 0.40 crore to its domestic net, which is a notable figure for an eighth-week run. What is particularly interesting here is the slight improvement in momentum compared to the start of the week. The Tuesday collection represents a 14.3 percent growth over Monday’s 0.35 crore, suggesting that the film is still finding a fresh audience even at this late stage.

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 12 - Bollywood star Ranveer Singh is not looking back after the historic success of Dhurandhar duology, and is setting up ambitious films in his future line-up. In this process, the actor has acquired the rights to Amish Tripathi's bestselling novel, The Immortals of Meluha, under his banner, Maa Kasam Films. According to the report by Pinkvilla, Ranveer has partnered with Birla Studios to develop the mythological epic as a grand-scale trilogy. The project is being envisioned as a large-scale cinematic franchise. Released in 2010, The Immortals of Meluha reimagines Lord Shiva as a human hero whose journey eventually transforms him into a divine figure. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report further suggests that the adaptation is currently in the development stage, with the makers aiming to build a visually grand franchise mounted on a massive scale. With Indian cinema increasingly exploring mythological universes and franchise storytelling, the makers reportedly see the Shiva Trilogy as a property with enormous cinematic potential. On top of it, Ranveer Singh will himself headline it and will play Lord Shiva in the ambitious trilogy. However, the rest of the cast and director will be locked once the script work reaches a certain stage. The writing work has already begun, and the team is taking its time to crack the screenplay and world-building. The first part is expected to go on floors in 2028. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The role could mark a major turning point in Ranveer Singh's career. Known for his energetic screen presence and transformative performances, the actor taking on Lord Shiva instantly makes the project one of the most talked-about developments in the industry. If officially announced, the trilogy could become one of the biggest film franchises ever attempted in Indian cinema. Meanwhile, the Simmba star will next be seen in Jai Mehta's zombie thriller, Pralay, which is expected to start rolling in August this year. After that, the actor will likely reunite with director Aditya Dhar for his next, which is expected to start shooting in March 2027.

Top 5 Box Office Weekend Grossers (May 8-10): Raja Shivaji Leads As Bhooth Bangla and Michael Continue To Draw Audiences

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 11 - The Indian box office continued to witness steady footfalls as it delivered another good weekend between May 8 and May 10, with films from multiple industries performing decently across the country. From Marathi historical dramas to Bollywood horror-comedies and Hollywood releases, audiences continued to support a wide variety of theatrical offerings. Raja Shivaji Continues Its Solid Run (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Leading the weekend charts was Riteish Deshmukh's historical epic Raja Shivaji, which emerged as the biggest grosser of the frame with a solid 15.60 crore net collection. The film has turned into a major success story for Marathi cinema and continues to dominate several markets with exceptional occupancy and positive word-of-mouth. The film once again proved its strong box office pull by comfortably taking the top position during the weekend. The historical drama has been witnessing superb momentum ever since its release and is now among the biggest Marathi blockbusters in recent years. Bhooth Bangla and Michael Hold Strong Despite Competition (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla secured the second spot with 8.75 crore during the May 8-10 weekend. Despite multiple new releases and increasing competition, the film continued to attract family audiences and horror-comedy fans in good numbers. It has already emerged as one of the major Hindi hits of the year and continues to post healthy collections, especially in multiplexes and urban centres. Hollywood musical biopic Michael was another solid performer as it collected 7.55 crore net over the weekend and secured the third position on the list. The film has shown particularly strong performance in premium multiplex chains and metro cities. Its sustained run highlights the growing audience for musical dramas and event films in India, especially among younger viewers and urban audiences. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Krishnavataram Part 1 Overperformed In Debut Weekend The devotional drama Krishnavataram Part 1: The Heart surprisingly secured a good opening as it collected 7.30 crore during the weekend. Despite featuring known faces, the film benefited from its genre, which is becoming popular among Indian family audiences. It opened to a modest number but witnessed good growth over the weekend to secure a good collection. Closing the top five list was Hollywood film Mortal Kombat II, which earned around 5.40 crore net during its opening weekend in India. The action sequel managed to generate decent traction among franchise fans and action movie lovers. The film performed particularly well in urban centres and premium screens, helping it secure a respectable debut despite competition from established Indian releases.

Raja Shivaji Box Office: Riteish Deshmukh's Historical Epic Approaches 100 Crore After 18.50 Crore In Second Weekend

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 11 - Riteish Deshmukh's historical action drama Raja Shivaji is approaching 100 crores gross after another good weekend at the Indian box office. The film, based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, remains the top choice among moviegoers despite new releases and strong holdovers across languages. Raja Shivaji Earned 18.50+ Crore Gross In Second Weekend (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The film kicked off the second weekend with 3.80 crores gross on Friday, followed by 75% jump on Saturday to collect 6.70 crores gross. Raja Shivaji witnessed another solid jump of 21% on Sunday, grossing around 8.10 crores, for a cumulative estimated gross of 18.60 crores (15.60 crores net) in the second weekend. Raja Shivaji witnessed a drop of around 53% from the opening weekend, which is a solid hold for a Marathi record-breaking opener. In the original Marathi version, the film has grossed 57 crore (48 crore net) while the Hindi version has contributed 24 crore (20.25 crore net) in 10 days so far. Raja Shivaji Heading Towards 100 Crore Gross (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Produced by Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company, Raja Shivaji is already the third highest-grossing Marathi film of all-time with 81 crore gross, after beating Riteish Deshmukh's Ved (73 crore gross) over the second weekend. It is now behind only Baipan Bhari Deva (90.50 crore gross) and Sairat (110 crore gross) in the all-time biggest Marathi blockbusters. The film was expected to enter the 100 crores gross club in the second week itself, but it is now projected to achieve the feat in the third weekend. However, it will be crossing Baipan Bhari Deva before the second week ends to become the second biggest Marathi grosser of all-time, and will be looking to down Sairat in the third week to emerge as the biggest industry grosser. How Far Raja Shivaji Can Climb At The Box Office? (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Riteish Deshmukh starrer and directorial, though performing strongly, has limited appeal outside the home state, Maharashtra. It is also not benefiting from having the perception of being a regional project, which has limited its nationwide reach. A Bollywood film of this scale could have fetched much more, but that is not the case with Raja Shivaji. However, despite the limitations, Raja Shivaji should be able to reach 125 crores gross in its lifetime run, which is a strong result for a Marathi title. It continues to remain strong in Maharashtra, which is driving its overall collection.
