Bhooth Bangla, featuring Akshay Kumar, has made a notable entry into cinemas, grossing an estimated ₹23.90 crore globally on its opening day. The film, directed by Priyadarshan, achieved a domestic net of approximately ₹12.25 crore, bolstered by paid previews that added nearly ₹3.50 crore. This performance surpasses initial expectations of ₹15 crore for the opening day. The film's success has ended the box office reign of Dhurandhar: The Revenge, which had maintained its top position for four weeks. Despite a drop in earnings to about ₹2.70 crore net on its 30th day, Dhurandhar: The Revenge has amassed over ₹1,105 crore overall. Bhooth Bangla's strong opening positions it among Akshay Kumar's top five biggest day-one grossers, following Sooryavanshi and Housefull 5.
