In two weeks since its release, Akshay Kumar-headliner Bhooth Bangla has reached the Rs 200 crore milestone. The Priyadarshan directorial, however, is witnessing a drop in its second week. As per Sacnilk.com, the film’s net collection on its second Monday was at Rs 3.5 crore which increased to Rs 4.35 crore on Tuesday. On Wednesday it again witnessed a drop to Rs 3.25 crore. This brings the film’s worldwide collection to Rs 199.38 crore, and its domestic net collection to Rs 124.5 crore.

Bhooth Bangla has performed better than many recent Akshay releases. It has surpassed Kesari Chapter 2, which collected Rs 110.76 crore gross, as well as Jolly LLB 3 with Rs 140.14 crore and Sky Force with Rs 135.51 crore. However, it still trails Housefull 5, which recorded a lifetime India gross of Rs 218.42 crore. Within the horror-comedy genre, the film is also behind major hits such as Thamma (Rs 161.09 crore), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 216.50 crore), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (Rs 311.35 crore).

In the coming week, the film will face more competition at the ticket window with Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi’s Ek Din releasing along with Riteish Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt and Abhishek Bachchan starrer Raja Shivaji. Dhurandhar: The Revenge is also still running in theatres with worldwide collections of Rs 1,780.76 crore so far.

Bhooth Bangla also stars Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav in pivotal roles.
