UK Box Office: Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhooth Bangla’ opens up at No.10

Akshay Kumar’s latest horror‑comedy, ‘Bhooth Bangla’, has made its presence felt at the UK box office, opening at No.10 in its debut weekend. The film collected £221,250, marking a steady start for a genre that often performs variably in international markets.

Directed by Priyadarshan and produced by Ekta Kapoor, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ blends slapstick humour with supernatural elements, a combination that has long defined several successful collaborations between the director and Kumar. The film follows a family who move into an old mansion rumoured to be haunted, only to find themselves entangled in a series of bizarre, comedic and occasionally eerie events. Its mix of broad comedy, nostalgia and light‑touch horror has appealed to audiences seeking an accessible festive entertainer.

In India, the film has performed even more robustly, crossing Rs. 60 crore nett by Monday. Strong word‑of‑mouth and Akshay Kumar’s established fan base in the comedy genre have contributed to its momentum, with family audiences forming a significant share of its footfall.
