Bhooth Bangla Day 26 Box Office: Tuesday Net Touches Rs. 1.60 Cr, Surpassing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 To Rank 16th All-Time
BY SACNILK
Bhooth Bangla is proving that the horror-comedy genre has a very deep reservoir of audience interest, even as it nears the end of its first month in theatres. On its 26th day, which fell on a Tuesday, the film netted 1.70 crore across the domestic market. What is particularly interesting here is the 26 per cent jump in collections compared to Monday's haul of 1.35 crore. This kind of mid-week growth in the fourth week is a clear indicator that the film is running on a sustained rhythm rather than just early momentum. To put this performance into perspective, this Tuesday's haul has placed the project at the 16th spot among the top 50 highest Day 26 collections in Hindi cinema history. It has managed to outpace several massive hits within the same genre. Specifically, it moved past the Day 26 numbers of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which earned 1.29 crore, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which stood at 1.10 crore. Even the original Stree, which was known for its incredible endurance, recorded a lower 0.87 crore on its 26th day. This comparison highlights just how robust the current run has been for this latest instalment. The film's performance today has earned it a spot among the all-time greats, as it now ranks 18th in the list of the highest Day 26 collections in Indian cinema history.

On BookMyShow, the film recorded approximately 35 thousand ticket sales for the day, bringing its total ticket tally on the platform to over 3 million since its release. With 4,059 shows still running across India, the movie has managed to reach a domestic net total of 161.80 crore. This translates to an India gross of 191.90 crore, showing that the movie remains a significant contributor to the theatrical ecosystem nearly a month after its debut. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The major national multiplex chains continue to act as a steady fuel source for these earnings. On Tuesday, PVR led the contributions with approximately 7.6 thousand tickets sold. INOX followed with about 4.9 thousand, and Cinepolis chipped in with roughly 3 thousand tickets. When you look at the combined total of over 15 thousand tickets from these three major chains, it is evident that urban centers are still providing a healthy flow of patrons. This steady participation from premium venues is what allows the film to maintain a respectable average despite being in its fourth week. Looking at specific regions like the National Capital Region (NCR), the performance is quite granular. With nearly 500 shows running in this belt alone, the overall occupancy stood at a healthy 19.3 percent. Interestingly, the interest peaked during the night shows at 24 percent, while the morning shows started at a modest 10 percent. This late-day surge is a typical trend for horror-themed films, where the evening atmosphere often draws in a larger crowd looking for a communal viewing experience. On the international front, the film is wrapping up its run with a smaller but consistent contribution, adding 0.05 crore on its 26th day. This takes the total overseas bounty to 53.20 crore. When we consolidate the domestic gross and international receipts, the worldwide gross collection has now climbed to 245.10 crore. The film is now essentially on a final dash toward the 250 crore milestone globally, a figure that cements its status as a major commercial winner. Ultimately, the logic behind these numbers suggests that Bhooth Bangla has tapped into a demographic that values theatrical longevity over a front-loaded opening. By consistently outperforming established benchmarks in its fourth week, the film has secured its place as a reliable performer. As the theatrical window begins to narrow, the focus will be on how much further it can push its lifetime record before making its digital transition.
