Bhooth Bangla Day 44 Box Office: Akshay Kumar Nears Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Worldwide Record

BY SACNILK

The horror-comedy landscape in Indian cinema has undergone a massive transformation over the last two decades. It all started back in 2007 when the legendary filmmaker Priyadarshan helmed the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa. With Akshay Kumar at the forefront, that film set a benchmark for the genre, eventually wrapping up its worldwide journey with about 82.35 crore. Fast forward to 2022, and the franchise saw a reboot of sorts under director Anees Bazmee. Starring Kartik Aaryan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 became a massive phenomenon, scoring the highest opening of that year and finishing as Kartik’s first 200 crore global grosser with a lifetime worldwide total of 265.50 crore. Now, the wheel has come full circle. Akshay Kumar is back in the genre with Bhooth Bangla, and the box office numbers suggest that the veteran is ready to reclaim his territory. As of its 45th day the 7th Sunday, the film has achieved a significant milestone by essentially catching up to the global lifetime collections of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. This is not just a win for the star, but a testament to how much the market for horror-comedies has expanded since the 2007 original. The momentum over the seventh weekend has been particularly impressive. On Saturday, Bhooth Bangla witnessed a 45.5 percent spike in its earnings, bringing in 80 lakhs compared to the 55 lakhs it collected on Friday. This jump is a much-needed shot of oxygen for a film that has been in theaters for over six weeks. This Saturday performance pushed the total India net collection to 178.25 crore, while the worldwide gross climbed to 264.93 crore. With the film breathing down the neck of Kartik Aaryan's record, today's live tracking confirms the inevitable takeover. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the live data for Sunday, the film has already added about 20 lakhs net to its kitty by mid-afternoon. With the Sunday evening shows still ahead, Bhooth Bangla is now within striking distance of the 265.50 crore lifetime mark set by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. It is expected to clear that hurdle by the time the final numbers for the day come in. This steady stream of moolah is a shot of oxygen few expected this late into the run, proving that even after 234,764 shows, the audience's interest is far from exhausted. The ground-level occupancy and ticket sales reflect this endurance. On Saturday alone, BookMyShow recorded over 12,000 ticket bookings, contributing to a massive cumulative total of over 3.33 million tickets on the platform. Even in the high-stakes national chains, the film is holding its own. On Saturday, PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis combined for approximately 2,000 ticket sales. The momentum hasn't dipped today either, as the national chains have already moved about 1,200 tickets by 2 PM on Sunday. This late-stage momentum shows that Bhooth Bangla is finding its second wind. By catching up to the 265.50 crore lifetime mark of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Akshay Kumar has reclaimed a spot in the horror-comedy genre. While the film won't be catching up to the massive 400.35 crore worldwide record set by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, matching the second part is a solid indicator of its longevity. The film continues to add a steady flow of moolah to its total, proving it still has a place in the market even after six weeks.

Karan Johar Unfollowed Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, And Others On Instagram: Here Is Why

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, May 29 - Filmmaker Karan Johar left Bollywood fans stunned after eagle-eyed social media users noticed that he had unfollowed several celebrities on Instagram, including superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The sudden move quickly became a major talking point online, with fans speculating about possible fallout and tension within Bollywood circles. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar also reportedly unfollowed several major Bollywood names, including Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Kajol, Malaika Arora, Ananya Panday, Kartik Aaryan, Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Manish Malhotra and even members of the Khan family such as Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan and Suhana Khan. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The development first gained traction after Reddit users noticed changes in Karan Johar's following list and began sharing screenshots online. Social media platforms were soon flooded with theories ranging from friendship issues to professional differences and PR strategies. What made the situation even more surprising for fans was Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan’s long-standing bond. The duo shares one of the most iconic friendships in Bollywood history. Shah Rukh Khan played the lead in several of Karan Johar's biggest films, including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and My Name Is Khan. Over the years, Karan has repeatedly credited Shah Rukh for shaping his filmmaking journey and career. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) As speculation intensified, Karan Johar finally addressed the controversy through his Instagram Story and dismissed all rumours of fallout. The filmmaker clarified that the mass unfollowing was simply part of a "digital detox." He wrote, "It's a DIGITAL DETOX!!!! Am unfollowing everyone to reduce my time and energy spent on the gram!!! This can't be national news for god's sake... please clickbait something else! This is irrelevant!" His statement, however, did little to stop online discussions. Many social media users questioned why unfollowing people was necessary for a digital detox, while others believed it was simply a social media strategy or public reset. Reddit discussions were filled with mixed reactions, with some users calling it a "PR move" and others describing it as attention-grabbing behaviour. Another detail that caught attention was that actress Priyanka Chopra reportedly continued to remain on Karan Johar's following list despite several other celebrities being removed. This sparked even more speculation online. According to reports, the move was part of a planned "social media strategy" and had nothing to do with personal disputes or issues with any actor.

Bhooth Bangla Day 32 Box Office:Crosses 200 Cr India Gross; Now Rs. 11.55 Cr Away From Surpassing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 Worldwide

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla has successfully completed its first month at the box office, and as it enters its fifth week, the film is showing the kind of steady hold often seen with successful horror-comedies. On its 32nd day, which was the fifth Monday, the movie earned a net collection of 0.70 crore. This marks a 63.2 percent drop compared to the previous day's 1.90 crore, a typical trend for a weekday following a strong weekend performance. With this, the total India net collection has reached 169.05 crore, while the domestic gross has crossed the 200 crore milestone, currently standing at 200.45 crore. The film has also found a decent audience in the international markets, contributing 53.50 crore in overseas gross. This brings the total worldwide gross collection to 253.95 crore, cementing its position as a solid performer in this genre. What makes this 32nd-day performance interesting is how it stacks up against the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise. According to historical data, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 collected 0.76 crore on its 32nd day, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 collected exactly 0.70 crore. By matching the numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 on this specific day, Bhooth Bangla has proven that it is operating in the same league as some of the biggest horror-comedy hits in recent years. While it remains slightly behind the second installment of that franchise, the consistency in these numbers suggests a very healthy theatrical run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While Bhooth Bangla is currently trailing behind the domestic lifetime numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, it has already managed to score a significant victory in the international markets. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 finished its overseas run with 49 crore, a figure that Bhooth Bangla has already eclipsed with its 53.50 crore collection. However, the domestic challenge remains. To surpass the 184.32 crore India net lifetime record of the Kartik Aaryan starrer, Bhooth Bangla still needs to collect an additional 15.27 crore. The film currently requires about 11.55 crore more to overtake the 265.50 crore worldwide total of the second Bhool Bhulaiyaa installment. The ticket sales data from BookMyShow also reflects this steady interest. On its fifth Monday, the film sold 15.09 thousand tickets, taking the total ticket count on the platform to over 31.51 lakh. Even with the reduced show count, the film managed to pull in an audience across 2,384 shows nationwide. Looking at the major national chains, PVR contributed approximately 760 tickets, INOX saw about 1,150, and Cinepolis added another 600. This brings the total sales from these three major chains to around 2,510 tickets for the day. Regional occupancy also highlights where the film is still drawing crowds. In Mumbai, the movie recorded an overall occupancy of 12.8 percent across 87 shows, with afternoon screenings peaking at 17 percent. The National Capital Region followed with 290 shows and an overall occupancy of 9.8 percent, where both afternoon and evening shows saw a 12 percent turnout. In Ahmedabad, the film maintained a 7.5 percent overall occupancy across 160 shows, with evening screenings being the most preferred at 12 percent. Bhooth Bangla is currently in a stable position as a box office success. The fact that its late-run figures are on par with established franchises indicates a steady interest in this genre. For the rest of its fifth week, the main goal will be to see how close the India net collection can get to the 175 crore mark before the theatrical run concludes.

Pati Patni Aur Woh Do Box Office: Sequel Set To Miss Kartik Aaryan Prequel's 9.1 Crore Opening

BY SACNILK

Ayushmann Khurrana is returning to a familiar space with the release of Pati Patni Aur Woh Do this Friday, May 15. This sequel to the 2019 hit is arriving with a fair amount of curiosity, especially given the rare partnership between Zee Studios and T-Series for its nationwide distribution. Joining Ayushmann in this chaotic romantic comedy are Sara Ali Khan, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Rakul Preet Singh, forming an ensemble that looks promising on paper. The film has received a UA 16+ rating with a concise runtime of one hour and fifty-seven minutes, which should help in maintaining a high show count. Since the pandemic, Ayushmann's box office run has been a mix of massive hits and niche experiments. His last outing, Thama, set a very high benchmark, becoming his most successful film to date by a wide margin. To give you some context on how his films have fared lately, here is a look at his top-performing movies in the post-pandemic era based on their India net collections. Top 5 Movies of Ayushmann Khurrana - India Net Collection (Post-COVID)MOVIE NAMEINDIA NET COLLECTIONThama (2025)₹ 187.59 CrDream Girl 2 (2023)₹ 142.20 CrDoctor G (2022)₹ 44.00 CrChandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021)₹ 30.20 CrAn Action Hero (2022)₹ 16.85 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The romantic comedy genre has seen a significant revival in recent years, with several films crossing the 100-crore mark through strong word-of-mouth and relatable storytelling. For Pati Patni Aur Woh Do to find its footing, it will have to compete with the expectations set by recent genre-leaders. The following list highlights the top five highest-grossing romantic comedies released after the pandemic: Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani: ₹357.50 Cr Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar: ₹223.00 Cr Dream Girl 2: ₹142.20 Cr Jugjugg Jeeyo: ₹139.50 Cr Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya: ₹139.00 Cr When we look at the ground reality of the advance bookings, the buzz for Pati Patni Aur Woh Do appears to be a bit muted compared to its predecessor. As of May 14 at 11:40 AM, the film has managed to sell approximately 5,880 tickets across the three major national cinema chains—PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis. This early interest has generated a gross of about 18.8 lakh for the opening day. In terms of how these sales are spread out, PVR is currently in the lead with around 3,160 tickets, followed by INOX with roughly 2,550 tickets. Cinepolis has seen a slower start with about 170 tickets sold so far. These numbers suggest that the movie is largely counting on the walk-in audience and a strong word-of-mouth surge to pick up the pace once it hits theaters tomorrow. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Looking at the current trends, the film is expected to open in the range of 4 to 5 crore net at the Indian box office. This would place it significantly lower than the prequel, which had opened to a solid 9.1 crore net back in 2019. It also falls behind Ayushmann's traditional top openers, where his recent blockbuster Thama led the charts with a massive 24-crore start. Here is a look at his career-best opening day collections to see where the current prediction stands. Ayushmann Khurrana's Top 5 Opening Day Net CollectionsMOVIE NAMEOPENING DAY NETThama (2025)₹ 24.00 CrDream Girl 2 (2023)₹ 10.69 CrBala (2019)₹ 10.15 CrDream Girl (2019)₹ 10.05 CrShubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan (2020)₹ 9.55 Cr If the film opens within the predicted 4 to 5 crore bracket, it will likely rank alongside his mid-range openers like Doctor G or Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui in terms of initial momentum. The 2019 original ended its run with a worldwide gross of 109 crore and an India net of 84.56 crore, earning a hit status. For the sequel to replicate that success, it will rely heavily on spot bookings and a strong jump in collections over the weekend. The shorter runtime should prove beneficial for theaters to squeeze in more shows if the walk-in audience begins to show up after the initial reviews.

Bhooth Bangla 4th Weekend Box Office: Sunday Collections Jump By 36%; Needs Over 23 Cr More To Beat Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

BY SACNILK

The long-awaited reunion of Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan after 14 years is proving to be a successful venture at the box office. Bhooth Bangla has completed its fourth weekend, and the numbers indicate that the horror-comedy genre continues to be a favorite for the family audience. It is rare for a film to show such a healthy growth percentage this late in its run, but the Priyadarshan touch seems to be keeping the momentum steady. If we look at the ticket sales activity over these three days, the trend is quite positive. On BookMyShow, the film recorded 28.38K tickets on Friday, which jumped to 51.52K on Saturday, and saw its best performance on Sunday with 59.31K tickets. This brings the three-day BookMyShow total to a solid 139.21K tickets. In the major national chains like PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis, the growth was even more apparent. The film sold approximately 3,360 tickets on Friday, which increased significantly to about 10,130 on Saturday, and reached 16,330 on Sunday. This gives us a cumulative total of roughly 29,820 tickets from the national chains alone over the weekend. Bhooth Bangla - 4th Weekend India Net CollectionDAY NUMBERINDIA NET COLLECTIONDay 22 (4th Friday)₹ 1.75 CrDay 23 (4th Saturday)₹ 3.00 CrDay 24 (4th Sunday)₹ 4.00 CrTotal 4th Weekend₹ 8.75 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The collection growth on Sunday was particularly notable. After earning 1.75 crore on Friday and 3.00 crore on Saturday, the film saw a 33.33 percent spike on Sunday to collect 4.00 crore net. This brings the fourth-weekend total to 8.75 crore. Currently, the total India net collection stands at 158.75 crore, which translates to a domestic gross of 188.39 crore. When we add the overseas gross of 53.10 crore, the worldwide gross collection has reached 241.49 crore. The film has maintained its show count well, running across 4,291 shows on Sunday with a 21 percent occupancy rate. Now, the big question is how it compares to other major horror-comedy hits. Currently, Bhooth Bangla is chasing the record of Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which has a worldwide gross of 265.50 crore. With Bhooth Bangla sitting at 241.49 crore, it needs another around 23.80 crore to cross that mark. Given the steady performance in the fourth week, we can estimate that Bhooth Bangla will likely cross the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 worldwide total by the end of its sixth week or during its sixth weekend. It needs to maintain its current momentum for at least two more weeks to claim that spot. Reaching the 250 crore worldwide milestone will be the first major step, which should happen within the next few days. However, we have some anticipated releases like Sidharth Malhotra's Vvan - Force of the Forrest and Ayushmann Khurrana's Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 arriving on May 15, which will likely cause some screen shrinkage and sharing. If the film can manage this competition and maintain its steady pace, it has a very realistic chance of surpassing the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 milestone and finishing its run as a highly successful entry in the horror-comedy genre.

2027 Box Office Calendar Takes Shape: From Thalaivar 173 To Ramayana Part 2, Every Big Film Locked So Far

BY SACNILK

Mumbai, April 27 - The 2027 theatrical calendar is steadily filling up, with several high-profile films already locking prime festive and holiday release windows. From Sankranti to Diwali, major stars and big-budget productions have strategically positioned themselves to capitalise on long weekends and nationwide holidays, setting the stage for an intense box office battle year. The year kicks off with a bang on Makar Sankranti with superstar Rajinikanth's Thalaivar 173, expected to be one of the biggest openers of the year. Just days later, the Republic Day weekend (January 21) will see long-delayed Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal's Love And War hit cinemas, ensuring a strong start to the year with back-to-back major releases. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) February continues the momentum as fantasy comedy Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan, arrives during the Valentine's Day weekend (February 12), aiming to draw both mass and youth audiences. March is shaping up to be one of the most crowded periods, with the Eid weekend (March 5) witnessing a major clash between Prabhas' Spirit and Salman Khan's film with Vamshi Paidipally. The competition doesn't ease up, as John Abraham-led Force 3 is slated for March 19, keeping the box office buzzing through the month. Then comes April, when SS Rajamouli and Mahesh Babu's globetrotting adventure, Varanasi, is slated for release on April 7. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The summer season will be driven by the Jr. NTR's Dragon/NTRNeel with Prashanth Neel film, scheduled for June 11, a slot traditionally known for blockbuster performers. Meanwhile, the Independence Day weekend (August 13) is locked by Kartik Aaryan's Captain India, which is expected to benefit from patriotic fervour The biggest festival of the year, Diwali, will feature the highly anticipated Ramayana Part 2, positioning itself as a potential box office juggernaut.

Bhooth Bangla 10-Day Box Office Analysis: With a Massive 87% Weekend Jump, Can Akshay Kumar's Original Brand Topple the Bhool Bhulaiyaa Sequel Juggernaut?

BY SACNILK

Bhooth Bangla marks a pivotal homecoming for Akshay Kumar, signaling his high-stakes return to the horror-comedy arena—a genre he essentially architected nearly two decades ago. While the industry spent years debating whether the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise could sustain its momentum without its original star, Kartik Aaryan's two massive sequels appeared to have settled the score, until the reunion of the Akshay-Priyadarshan duo reset the benchmark. The narrative has now shifted from a simple clash of numbers to a deeper analysis of brand longevity; it is a question of whether the classic Priyadarshan style of situational humor and rooted folklore can outshine the high-gloss, VFX-driven sequels that have dominated the modern box office. Bhooth Bangla has wrapped its first ten days with a solid performance, especially when viewed through the lens of Akshay Kumar's recent theatrical run. Collecting 113.40 crore nett in India and 179.48 crore gross worldwide, the film has officially become Akshay's 20th entry into the 100 crore club. However, when placed side-by-side with the Bhool Bhulaiyaa sequels, the trajectory reveals a fascinating split between domestic pull and overseas stardom. While Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 remains the undisputed leader in terms of sheer domestic volume, Bhooth Bangla is putting up a fierce fight against the benchmarks set by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. 10-Day Box Office Comparison: The Battle of BrandsMOVIE NAMEINDIA NET (10 DAYS)WORLDWIDE GROSS (10 DAYS)OVERSEAS GROSS (10 DAYS)Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3₹ 199.00 Cr₹ 314.80 Cr₹ 76.00 CrBhool Bhulaiyaa 2₹ 122.69 Cr₹ 174.00 Cr₹ 30.00 CrBhooth Bangla₹ 113.40 Cr₹ 179.48 Cr₹ 44.50 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Analyzing the trends, it is evident that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 benefited immensely from the established Manjulika legacy and a festive release window, allowing it to nearly double the opening week numbers of its predecessor. Bhooth Bangla, on the other hand, is carving its path as an original story. Despite having a lower India net than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 at the 10-day mark, Bhooth Bangla has actually surpassed it in the worldwide gross category. This is largely driven by a superior overseas performance, where Akshay Kumar’s NRI fan base has contributed 44.50 crore compared to the 30 crore managed by Kartik’s second installment in the same period. The sustainability of Bhooth Bangla is the real story here, evidenced by the film mirroring the trajectory of a classic word-of-mouth hit. After maintaining a steady 5.75 crore on its second Friday, the movie showed a massive 87 per cent jump on its second Saturday to collect 10.75 crore, a trend rarely seen in recent mid-budget releases. This surge allowed the film to officially breach the 100 crore net mark in India by Day 9, indicating that the audience is reacting positively to Priyadarshan’s shift from the psychological thriller roots of the original Bhool Bhulaiyaa to a more folklore-heavy, fantasy-horror approach. While Kartik's sequels leaned into high-energy slapstick and VFX-heavy climaxes, Priyadarshan has doubled down on situational comedy and local superstitions, creating a distinct identity for his new venture that is clearly resonating with the family audience. Looking at the natural course of trajectory, Bhooth Bangla is exhibiting a steady hold that mirrors successful word-of-mouth hits. By collecting 12.50 crore on its tenth day, it has shown better late-week endurance than many recent sequels. If the film continues this momentum through the second week , it is on course to reach a 145 crore to 155 crore India net lifetime total. This would comfortably place it in the HIT category, marking a significant recovery for Akshay Kumar. The final verdict on whether Akshay Kumar can officially outshine the Kartik Aaryan sequels hinges on the film's ability to navigate a massive competitive hurdle arriving in just a few days. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 capitalized on a higher initial peak, Bhooth Bangla is currently at a crucial crossroad as it prepares for the high-stakes release of Raja Shivaji on May 1. The real test for the Priyadarshan-directed entertainer lies in the pace at which it can maintain occupancy while inevitably entering a phase where screen space will be shared with this major new arrival. To make a definitive prediction for the final lifetime closing, it will be essential to observe how the movie sustains its grip on the box office during this immediate transition. If Bhooth Bangla can hold steady despite the inevitable crunch in screens, it will prove that the legacy brand of the original has the internal strength to survive the momentum of modern sequels.

Mumbai, March 19 - Amazon Prime Video has acquired the post-theatrical streaming rights of two much-anticipated Bollywood films - Naagzilla and Vvan: Force of the Forest. The announcement was made on March 19 during the Prime Video event in Mumbai, further strengthening the streamer's growing lineup of big-ticket Hindi releases for 2026. Naagzilla, starring Kartik Aaryan, is one of the most awaited commercial entertainers in the pipeline. Backed by Dharma Productions, the film explores a unique fantasy-comedy concept revolving around a shape-shifting serpent. With heavy VFX work and a large-scale production setup, the film is expected to be released later this year, after the shoot was recently completed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) On the other hand, Vvan: Force of the Forest, featuring Sidharth Malhotra in the lead, is a rooted folk thriller set against a mystical forest backdrop. The official plot of the movie reads, "A rational urban man defies his ancestral forbidden forest & awakens a divine goddess, only to realise that some powers exist beyond logic & he must rise as the village's only saviour to protect his people from annihilation". Produced by Balaji Motion Pictures, the film has already generated curiosity for its genre and storytelling approach. Its post-theatrical premiere on Prime Video is expected to further boost its reach among digital audiences. With both films now heading to Prime Video after their theatrical runs, the platform continues to cement its position as a key player in acquiring high-profile Bollywood content. Stay tuned...
