Akshay Kumar’s latest film Bhooth Bangla has started its box office journey on a strong note. The horror-comedy film has performed well on its opening day, especially in overseas markets, giving the movie a solid worldwide start.
The film has managed to cross ₹27 crore worldwide on day one, showing that Akshay Kumar still holds strong appeal among mass audiences, especially in this genre.
Bhooth Bangla Day 1 India and Overseas Collection
On its opening day, Bhooth Bangla collected around ₹18 crore in India (net ₹15 crore approx). Along with this, the overseas markets contributed around USD 1.05 million (approx ₹9.5 crore).
This includes a small amount from early previews as well. When both domestic and international earnings are combined, the total worldwide opening day collection stands at approximately ₹27.5 crore.
Interestingly, the overseas performance of the film is stronger than its domestic start, which is not very common for Bollywood films of this genre.
Bhooth Bangla Overseas Performance Highlights
The film has shown good momentum in international circuits. The Middle East region led the overseas earnings with around USD 400K, making it the biggest contributor outside India.
The United States followed with approximately USD 225K, while Canada, Australia-New Zealand, and the United Kingdom also contributed steady numbers.
These regions together helped Bhooth Bangla cross the million-dollar mark on its very first day, which is considered a positive sign for the film’s global appeal.
Bhooth Bangla Weekend Box Office Expectations
Looking at the current trend, Bhooth Bangla is expected to reach around USD 3 million (overseas) by the end of its opening weekend. This performance is close to the lifetime overseas business of some recent mid-level Bollywood films.
If the film maintains decent audience interest over the weekend, it may even surpass expectations in international markets. However, the real challenge will be sustaining this momentum in the coming weekdays.
Comparison with Akshay Kumar’s Past Films
The overseas start of Bhooth Bangla is being compared with Akshay Kumar’s earlier comedy and ensemble films. While it is slightly behind some big openings, it still shows a stable performance.
The film’s global opening is also being seen as better than its domestic reception, which highlights the strong overseas fan base of Akshay Kumar.
