BHOOTH BANGLA collected 1.50-1.75 crore nett on its third Monday. The collections are down from Friday but it was a holiday on Friday. The trend from Sunday is pretty normal for a Monday though as it had the buy one get one offerm it maybe could have collected 10-15 lakhs nett more. However, it hardly matters as the week should get to 20 crore nett or thereabouts.

The film is a HIT now as is pretty much certain get close to 150 crore nett and it actually might get there especially as it seems that the buy one get one free offer will be there on weekdays. It is the third HIT film of the year after BORDER 2 and DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE. So, that's a good result in four months there were also supporting films like THE KERALA STORY 2: GOES BEYOND and MARDAANI 3. BHOOTH BANGLA is the only non franchise success so far this year.

BHOOTH BANGLA stands at 130 crore nett plus and the third week will be pretty similar to BORDER 2 which did 21.50 crore nett. It will have a good chance to beat the fourth week collections of BORDER 2.

BHOOTH BANGLA has collected 207 crore so far worldwide as both India and Overseas does well. The overseas business of the film is coming to a close and will finish at $5 million plus total while there are still some legs in India which could take the film to a 220-225 crore finish as far as the worldwide business goes.

Last year, HOUSEFULL 5 did 248 crore, JOLLY LLB 3 collected 170 crore and KESARI CHAPTER 2 finished with 144 crore. BHOOTH BANGLA will not reach the 248 crore of HOUSEFULL 5 but going by the costs associated with the two films, its a far better performance and will only be 10% less by the end of its run.

The top Akshay Kumar grossers Worldwide remain GOOD NEWWZ, SOORYAVANSHI and HOUSEFULL 4, all of which earned around 300 crore mark.

The worldwide collections of BHOOTH BANGLA till date are as follows. 

India -   161 crore (132.50 crore nett)

Overseas -  46 crore ($4.9 million)

------------------------------------------

BHOOTH BANGLA recorded a strong third week collecting 20 crore nett apprx giving it a drop of under 50% from the last week. This now takes the total of the film to 135 crore nett in three weeks and it has a outside chance of reaching 150 crore nett. It is sure to get over 145 crore nett and that 150 crore nett mark will depend on what happens next week when the film will face competition from PATI PATNI AUR WOH DO.

The success of a film is a good sign for the film industry as its what you would call a regular bread and butter film doing well and it does not have the trappings of  huge budget or scale, and is not even a franchise. Now it will be about a few other films going the BHOOTH BANGLA way over the next two months or so which may lead to an upturn in more films being made which is the need of the hour for cinema halls as lack of content brings down admits.

BHOOTH BANGLA scored a strong third weekend with collections of almost 14 crore nett as the holiday on Friday gave the collections a boost and there was a good jump on Sunday as well. The film remained pretty much unaffected in Mumbai circuit despite the release of the Marathi film RAJA SHIVAJI. The competition elsewhere was pretty much limited and it remained on a strong trajectory.

The film is a HIT now as is pretty much certain get close to 150 crore nett and it actually might get there especially as it seems that the buy one get one free offer will be there on weekdays. It is the third HIT film of the year after BORDER 2 and DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE. So, that's a good result in four months there were also supporting films like THE KERALA STORY 2: GOES BEYOND and MARDAANI 3. BHOOTH BANGLA is the only non franchise success so far this year.

The collections of the film will be better than JOLLY LLB 3 everywhere apart from Delhi/UP and East Punjab while Mumbai circuit it could even go past a far bigger film like HOUSEFULL 5.

The collections of BHOOTH BANGLA till date are as follows.

Friday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

BHOOTH BANGLA had a good second week collecting 36 crore nett but it has been supported by the Buy One Get One Free offer over the last two days which looks set to continue. This would have given the film around 50 lakhs extra over the last two days and it hardly matters if the film collects 35.50 crore nett or 36 crore nett as its the same thing. So, its really hard to understand why its done.

There were good advances of the Marathi film RAJA SHIVAJI and it could be to counter act that but eventually however well that film does, it is a Marathi flick which will stay mainly in one state while BHOOTH BANGLA has a market outside the state. It is also sometimes done to reach a figure for a better digital deal.

Overall, the film has held steady in week two showing a drop of under 55% from week one and stands at almost 115 crore nett which is what JOLLY LLB 3 did in its lifetime business. The Thursday bump was because its a holiday on Friday and in Maharashtra, its like a national holiday. So, the film will go up again on Friday.

The collections of BHOOTH BANGLA till date are as follows.

Paid Previews - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 11,50,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------

BHOOTH BANGLA did very well on its third Friday as it collected 4.25-4.50 crore nett as it was a holiday for May Day along with Maharashtra Day which is a big holiday in Maharashtra. The stronger collections were in Maharashtra and Mysore as the holiday factor probably worked better in these two circuits.

The holiday factor will mean limited growth on Saturday but eventually, if the film comes out with a 13-14 crore nett weekend, that is a superb result. The total collections now stand at almost 120 crore nett and it actually has a shot of 150 crore nett lifetime business especially if the film can continue to do well on the weekdays.

The film is likely to cross 40 crore nett in Mumbai circuit today while Delhi/UP stands at 28 crore nett and East Punjab is 11 crore nett. There will be Saturday growth in the North but in Mumbai, it may drop which will curtail the Saturday growth.

The collections of BHOOTH BANGLA till date are as follows.

Friday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 9,75,00,000 apprx
