Akshay Kumar’s new comedy just blew a massive hole in the Indian box office landscape. The Friday release of Bhooth Bangla instantly slashed screen counts across the country. That direct collision cut into immediate foot traffic, according to the Times of India. It pushed Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar 2: The Revenge to its absolute lowest single-day earnings since it hit theaters. On its 30th day, the Ranveer Singh film collected just ₹2.70 crore net domestically.
Fans wrote the momentum off. They were wrong. The film experienced a massive fifth-weekend resurgence. By Sunday, April 19, daily earnings shot back up to ₹5.20 crore. That late-stage weekend jump pushed its total India net collection to a staggering ₹1,115.67 crore. The worldwide numbers are even higher. Global gross now sits at ₹1,755.14 crore, detailed by the Hindustan Times.
This puts the movie in completely elite territory. By crossing the ₹1,750 crore mark this weekend, The Indian Express confirmed that the film officially dethroned Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule. That massive hit tapped out at ₹1,742 crore. Ranveer Singh’s latest project is now the third highest-grossing Indian film globally. It trails only Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Dangal. It secured this milestone despite the intense Friday competition and missing a theatrical release in Gulf nations entirely.
