Bhooth Bangla marks the reunion of director Priyadarshan and actor Akshay Kumar after 14 years, creating significant buzz ahead of its release on April 17. The film has generated strong advance bookings, selling 1.3 lakh tickets and earning ₹3.32 crore (approximately $400,000 USD) in gross domestic advance bookings for its first day. With paid previews contributing an additional ₹3.50 crore (about $420,000 USD), trade experts predict an opening day collection of ₹15-17 crore (around $1.8-2.1 million USD). This positions Bhooth Bangla as the second biggest opening for a Bollywood film this year, following the record-breaking ₹145 crore (approximately $17.5 million USD) start of Dhurandhar 2. The film is expected to outperform other successful horror-comedies, including Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Stree. With positive reviews highlighting the performances and VFX, Bhooth Bangla aims to capture the audience's attention in theaters.
