MUMBAI — The sixth-week trade data is finally locked in, and Bhooth Bangla is holding its ground beautifully as it winds down an incredible theatrical run.
The film collected ₹0.52 crore net and ₹0.60 crore gross on its sixth Friday (Day 36).
The numbers naturally show a standard late-stage exhaustion—marking a 28.77% decline from the previous day and sitting 97% lower than its roaring opening day. Yet, the broader financial picture is a masterclass in theatrical endurance.
The Battle of Horror-Comedy Benchmarks
This Day 36 performance brings the total domestic collection of Bhooth Bangla to a stellar ₹172.36 crore net and ₹202.99 crore gross.
Mounted on a substantial budget of ₹130 crore, this means the movie has recovered a phenomenal 133% of its cost from the domestic market alone. When you factor in the strong ₹56 crore haul from overseas territories, the worldwide gross officially stands at an impressive ₹258.99 crore.

The real talking point in the trade circles, however, is how this trajectory stacks up against Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.
Back in 2022, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was navigating its fifth week with an India net total of ₹184.32 crore. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 maintained a higher domestic volume through its run, Bhooth Bangla has put up a spectacular fight by leveraging its massive international appeal.
For a film entering its sixth week, matching the late-stage stamina of one of the biggest post-pandemic horror-comedy hits is no small achievement. It has completely altered the narrative surrounding mid-to-high budget horror comedies in modern cinema.
Tracking Bhooth Bangla Sixth-Week Endurance
What makes this run fascinating is the pure audience mood. Usually, a major studio film begins losing its screen count drastically by the fourth week, but the domestic ticket sales show that the public interest did not simply vanish. The word-of-mouth has acted as a steady shield against sharper drops.
Looking closely at the daily tracking, Bhooth Bangla has constantly used weekend jumps to make up for inevitable weekday drops. The question now is whether the upcoming Saturday and Sunday shows can push the daily collection back above the ₹1 crore mark one last time, or if the digital release plans will finally cap its theatrical footprint.

BoxOfficeWala Verdict on Final Lifetime Numbers
The performance is officially in the books, and it tells a highly positive story.
Bhooth Bangla has secured a Hit status by ensuring its high budget did not crush its theatrical profitability.
Recovering 133% of its cost within 36 days via net domestic receipts is excellent news for the distributors.
Given the current drop to ₹0.52 crore on Friday, the film will rely entirely on weekend evening shows to push its final domestic lifecycle slightly higher.
The total India net will likely settle around the ₹175 crore mark, making it a very lucrative project when television and digital streaming revenues are added.
