Bhooth Bangla Worldwide Gross Collection
Bhooth Bangla has performed well at the box office overseas. The movie has collected Rs. 26.50 crore gross during the weekend, taking the overall worldwide gross collection to Rs. 95.87 crore, which is amazing.
By the end of its fourth day, we can expect Bhooth Bangla to enter the Rs. 100 crore club with its worldwide gross collection.
Bhooth Bangla Budget
According to reports, Bhooth Bangla is made on a budget of Rs. 100-120 crore. So, if we look at the net collection in India, the film surely needs to do well on Monday and continue to earn a good amount during weekdays as well.
Bhooth Bangla has a good window at the box office, as no big film is slated to release until May 1. So, the Akshay Kumar starrer can easily have a good run at the box office for the next few days.
Bhooth Bangla Review
Bhooth Bangla has received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. The Free Press Journal reviewer gave the film 3 stars and wrote, "Overall, Bhooth Bangla has a very interesting concept, and the first half of the film is hilarious. But an average second half and not-so-great climax make the movie weak. If you are looking for a perfect horror-comedy, then you might get disappointed after watching Bhooth Bangla. However, this film can be just a timepass watch for the weekend."
