BY SACNILK
The horror-comedy genre has long been a favorite for Indian audiences, but every so often, a film comes along that truly captures the zeitgeist. Bhooth Bangla has done exactly that, proving that with the right mix of chills and chuckles, a movie can sustain interest well into its second month. As the film concludes its fifth week, the steady flow of moolah into the producers kitty suggests that this ghost story has plenty of life left in it. On its 35th day, which happened to be the fifth Thursday, the film added 0.70 Cr to its total. This represents a minor 12.5% drop from the previous day's 0.80 Cr collection, showing a very healthy hold in theaters. By the end of this seven-day stretch, Bhooth Bangla managed to rake in a stellar 7.15 Cr, bringing the total India net collection to a commendable 171.45 Cr. The India gross has now officially crossed the major milestone of 200 Cr, currently sitting at 203.21 Cr.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the ground-level engagement through ticket sales, we see a logical and expected dip. In the major national multiplex chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the film sold a combined total of 30,180 tickets during this fifth week. For context, the fourth week saw a total of 56,592 tickets in these chains, so the film is holding nearly half its previous week strength. The digital footprint on BookMyShow is equally impressive; the film recorded 128.66K ticket bookings this week, compared to 234K in the fourth week. Impressively, the total lifetime ticket sales on BMS have now hit 3.20 million, placing it at the 7th spot in the all-time ticket sales leaderboard for the 2025-26 season. What makes this fifth-week performance truly remarkable is how it comfortably towers over other post-COVID blockbusters. Bhooth Bangla has managed to outshine every major competitor in this specific time frame, showcasing a level of durability that most big-ticket releases lose after the first few weeks. To put things in perspective, the film has more than doubled the fifth-week earnings of some of the biggest hits in recent years, proving that its grip on the audience is uniquely strong. Here is how it ranks among the elite Week 5 performers: 1. Bhooth Bangla - ₹ 7.15 Cr 2. Sooryavanshi - ₹ 2.98 Cr 3. Jolly LLB 3 - ₹ 2.00 Cr 4. OMG 2 - ₹ 0.97 Cr 5. Sky Force - ₹ 0.70 Cr Ultimately, Bhooth Bangla's ability to tower over the charts this late in the game is a clear signal of its massive staying power. While most films run out of steam and screen space after the first month, this horror-comedy is still adding significant moolah to its already impressive tally. It has evolved from a strong opening into a historic theatrical marathon, setting a daunting benchmark for any upcoming films in the genre to try and match.
