Bhooth Bangla Scores In Overseas As Well - 90 Cr Plus Worldwide

Monday 20 April 2026 14.00 ISTBox Office India Trade Network

Bhhoth Bangla 2 has collected good figures in Overseas as well as India with collections of around $2.75 million (INR 25 Crore). This compares well with Jolly LLB 3 which did business of $1.75 million. Bhooth Bangla did have paid previews on Thursday but it was a minimal contribution and even if we take them out its still well ahead of Jolly LLB 3.

The film collected over $1 million in US / Canada and Gulf was very good with and $800k total. The big two films this year Border 2 and Dhurandhar 2 did not release in Gulf so this is actually the first big release in this market this year. Bhooth Bangla is double of O Romeo which had the best collections in Gulf this year but that is hardly a target considering the dull reception to that film.

The worldwide collections of the film 91 crore for the weekend including paid previews. Jolly LLB 3 was 83 crore without paid previews. If we take the paid previews out it has a total of 85.50 crore which would be seventh best for an Akshay Kumar starrer. Housefull 5, Sooryavanshi and Mission Mangal are the films with a 100 crore plus worldwide weekend. The worldwide collections of Bhooth Bangla till date are as follows.

Bhooth Bangla (3 Days plus PP)

India - 66 crore (54.50 crore nett)

Overseas - 25 crore ($2.75 million)

TOTAL - 91 crore

Worldwide Gross or Indian nett or what?

so its confirmed HIT

That's why I asked if the numbers mean gross collection (worldwide or only India) or net collection India (which is a big difference).

Formerly, only the India net collection determined the verdict... nowadays, it very often is the gross collection and sometimes even music rights and streaming rights are included to declare a positive verdict. It has become quite ridiculous, imo, especially as one can't have confidence in the published numbers which may not reflect the real footfalls.

The thing is, a film which was called a Flop 20 or 30 years ago can actually be called Hit or even Super Hit for current success measuring standards
