Can Akshay Kumar pull off a box office win with Bhoot Bangla despite mixed reception? That’s the big question doing the rounds in trade circles. Right from day one, Bhoot Bangla opened to mixed reviews and equally divided audience talk.
While some praised its horror-comedy elements, others felt it lacked consistency. Despite this, the film managed a good opening of around ₹25 crore on day one, which has given it a strong foundation. The weekend factor is now working in its favour.
The film is currently trending on BookMyShow, reportedly selling close to 20K tickets per hour, an encouraging sign that audience curiosity remains intact. Such trends often indicate that the film has not been rejected outright and still has room to grow.
Historically, Hindi horror films have shown resilience at the box office, even with mixed word of mouth. The genre has a loyal audience base that often turns up for the theatrical experience, especially during weekends.
Now, all eyes are on whether Akshay Kumar can capitalize on this momentum. If the film sustains through the weekend and holds reasonably well on weekdays, Bhoot Bangla could still emerge as a decent performer despite its initial mixed response.
