DHAKA, April 21, 2026 — Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has made a powerful return at the box office, as his latest film Bhoot Bangla has surpassed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide within just four days of its release.
The horror-comedy, directed by Priyadarshan, hit theaters on April 18 and quickly gained momentum, collecting approximately ₹106 crore globally by April 21, according to Indian media reports.
However, the film experienced a slight slowdown on its first weekday. On Monday, the fourth day of release, it earned around ₹6.75 crore net in India—lower than its weekend performance, which is considered a typical trend in box office cycles.
Co-starring Wamiqa Gabbi, Bhoot Bangla blends elements of horror and comedy. While audience reactions have been mixed, the film’s strong opening indicates significant commercial appeal.
Despite facing competition from other big-budget releases and the ongoing excitement of the Indian Premier League, the film’s early success has sparked renewed optimism within the Bollywood industry.
