Mumbai Box Office Heat: Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhooth Bangla’ Crosses Rs 90 Crore as Hollywood’s ‘Michael’ Joins the Race
Abhira 
Akshay Kumar’s latest horror-comedy, ‘Bhooth Bangla’, has made an impressive mark at the Mumbai box office, crossing the Rs 90 crore milestone by the eighth day of its release. The film, known for its unique blend of humor and supernatural elements, has successfully begun its second weekend with strong collections, reaffirming Akshay Kumar’s star power in Bollywood.
Crafted with engaging storytelling and a perfect mix of scares and laughs, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ has resonated well with Indian audiences, driving repeat viewership across theaters. The film’s commercial success highlights the growing appeal for fresh genre films in the Indian market, especially in the horror-comedy category.
However, the triumph of ‘Bhooth Bangla’ faces stiff competition from the Hollywood biopic ‘Michael’, which has also released around the same time. ‘Michael’ presents a compelling story that attracts audiences seeking biographical drama, adding a competitive edge to the box office battle in Mumbai and other key cities.
Despite the competition, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ has held its ground with consistent occupancy levels and positive word of mouth. Industry insiders cite the film’s balanced approach to horror and comedy, combined with Akshay Kumar’s widespread fan base, as key factors behind its steady collection trajectory.
As the box office contest heats up, both films are expected to push their limits in the coming weeks:
- ‘Bhooth Bangla’ aims to capitalize on its momentum and further expand its commercial run.
- ‘Michael’ targets audiences drawn to strong storytelling and real-life character portrayals.
