Bhooth Bangla Box Office: Horror-Comedy Beats OMG 2 To Become Akshay Kumar's Third Biggest Grosser In Post-Pandemic

Mumbai, May 5 - Akshay Kumar's horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla continues its impressive theatrical run, achieving a major milestone at the Indian box office. The film has now overtaken OMG 2 to become the actor's third-highest-grossing film in the post-pandemic era.

The film has grossed approximately 228 crore worldwide in 18 days, allowing it to surpass OMG 2 and claim the third position in Akshay Kumar's post-pandemic box office chart. In India, Bhooth Bangla has minted approximately 171.30 crores gross (144.25 crore net), while overseas collection stands at an estimated 56.50 crores so far.

This achievement underlines the film's steady performance not just in India, but also in overseas markets where it has found a consistent audience. Akshay Kumar's box office journey in the post-pandemic era has seen its share of ups and downs, but the superstar continues to deliver notable performances at the global box office, including Bhooth Bangla, which has emerged as a strong success story.

Leading the Akshay Kumar's post-pandemic list is director Rohit Shetty's cop drama Sooryavanshi, which remains Akshay Kumar's biggest post-pandemic grosser with 293 crore worldwide. Close behind is the comedy franchise film Housefull 5, followed by Bhooth Bangla, social comedy drama Oh My God 2, and courtroom comedy drama Jolly LLB 3 among the top 5 grossers.

The success of Bhooth Bangla is particularly significant as it marks a strong comeback for Akshay Kumar in the commercial space. The horror-comedy genre, combined with his signature comic timing, has resonated well with audiences, helping the film maintain a solid run at the box office.
