News India Live, Digital Desk: The blockbuster pairing of Akshay Kumar and director Priyadarshan has once again proved to be a ‘player’ at the box office. His horror-comedy film ‘Bhooth Bangla’ is still standing strong in theaters on the 12th day of its release. Although the pace of earning has slowed down a bit due to working days, but the film is now very close to touching the big figure of Rs 120 crore.
Slow start to day 12, but strong hold According to the latest box office reports, ‘Bhoot Bangla’ had collected around Rs 3.65 crore on its 11th day (2nd Monday), taking its total Indian box office net collection to Rs 117.05 crore. Today i.e. on the 12th day (Tuesday) the occupancy of morning shows has been slightly less, but it is expected that with the increase in evening and night shows, the film will cross the milestone of Rs 120 crore today.
Akshay Kumar creates history: 20th film crosses Rs 100 crore With the success of this film, Akshay Kumar has set a new record in Indian cinema. ‘Bhoot Bangla’ is the 20th film of Akshay’s career which has entered the Rs 100 crore club. He has become the first Indian actor to do so. The magic of Akshay and Priyadarshan’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ is once again seen working among the audience.
Preparation of 200 crores in worldwide collection Not only in India, but also in foreign markets, ‘Bhoot Bangla’ continues to be popular. The worldwide gross collection of the film has crossed Rs 188.75 crore in 11 days. Looking at the pace at which the film is progressing, it would not be wrong to say that in the next 24 to 48 hours the film will touch the magical figure of earning Rs 200 crores worldwide.
Competition with ‘Dhurandhar 2’ and ‘Stree’ At the box office, ‘Bhoot Bangla’ is competing with Ranveer Singh’s mega-blockbuster ‘Dhurandhar 2’, which is earning well even on the 40th day of its release. Although ‘Bhoot Bangla’ has overtaken the lifetime collection of Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Stree’ (first part), it will have to struggle further to reach the huge figures of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ and ‘Stree 2’.
