Bhooth Bangla Day 5 Box Office: Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy made ₹7.65 crore on Tuesday, which is a big jump from Monday. The movie now is in the top 5 of Akshay Kumar's highest post-COVID Tuesday earnings, with a total India net of ¹72.40 crore.
Akshay Kumar's new horror-comedy, Bhooth Bangla, had a great box office performance by making a big increase in earnings on its first Tuesday.
After a steady Monday, the movie saw a big rise in audience numbers because of a planned drop in ticket prices across the country. This helped bring a lot of people to theaters, especially families and young people, who were happy with the lower prices and good reviews.
On its fifth day, Bhooth Bangla collected about ₹7.65 crore net from 11,589 showings in India.
That's a 13% rise compared to Monday's earnings of ₹6.75 crore. Because of this, the total India net is now ₹72.40 crore, and the India gross is at ₹86.21 crore. This increase shows the movie is doing well in theaters and is popular with a wide audience.
The strategy of selling tickets at a lower price played a big part in the movie's success.
Big multiplexes dropped prices to between ₹149 and ₹165, which is much lower than Monday's prices of ₹250 to ₹350. This helped a lot of people go to see the movie, with the Hindi occupancy rate reaching 22.18% on Tuesday, April 21, 2026. Morning shows started at 9.69%, but the numbers kept going up all day. Afternoon shows hit 20.73%, and evening shows reached 23.97%. Night shows did really well with 34.33% occupancy, showing that lower prices drew in a lot of people even late at night.
In the main national cinema chains, the movie saw a big rise in ticket sales.
On Tuesday, Bhooth Bangla sold more than 70,500 tickets in the top three chains, which is a big jump from 24,000 tickets sold on Monday. Online platforms also had a good sales performance, with more than 147,000 tickets booked throughout the day. This momentum was already there in the advance bookings, with the movie earning over ₹3.1 crore before the first show started.
Abroad, the movie is also doing well, especially in North America.
On Tuesday, it made about ₹2.50 crore from overseas, bringing its total overseas gross to ₹31.50 crore. In North America, the movie has crossed $1.14 million. With all this, the worldwide gross of Bhooth Bangla is now at ₹117.71 crore, which is over 100 crore in just five days of release.
