Bhooth Bangla Advance Booking Report: Akshay Kumar’s Horror-Comedy Opens Strong Before Release
By Suthar Jayprakash
Mumbai: Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, has registered a strong start at the box office even before its official release, with advance bookings showing encouraging numbers across India. According to early industry estimates, the film has sold over 36,000 tickets for its opening day across more than 7,000 shows, generating close to ₹1 crore in confirmed advance sales. Including blocked seats, the total pre-release collection has reached approximately ₹2.65 crore, indicating solid initial demand among moviegoers.
The makers have also scheduled paid previews ahead of the theatrical release, a move expected to further boost audience engagement and early word-of-mouth. Directed by Priyadarshan, the horror-comedy blends humor with supernatural elements, a genre that has recently gained popularity among Indian audiences. The film has been granted a U/A (16+) certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification, with its runtime trimmed to approximately 2 hours and 44 minutes after minor edits for better pacing.
Set in the fictional town of Mangalpur, the story revolves around a man determined to marry inside a haunted palace believed to be cursed by a mysterious spirit named Vadhusur. The narrative unfolds through a mix of eerie incidents and comic situations, supported by a strong ensemble cast including Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, and Mithila Palkar.
Backed by Balaji Motion Pictures and Cape of Good Films, the film has generated considerable buzz due to its star cast and the return of the Akshay Kumar–Priyadarshan collaboration. Trade analysts suggest that if the early response from previews remains positive, Bhooth Bangla could witness a strong opening weekend at the box office, with both urban and mass circuits contributing to its performance.
