Bhooth Bangla Extends Third-Week Run As Payment Dispute Surfaces

Trade trackers post conflicting tallies that still point to a profitable film made on a reported Rs 120 crore budget.

Overview

  • The film collected about Rs 1.75 crore net on Wednesday (Day 20), with Koimoi and Sacnilk tracking a routine third-week dip after Tuesday’s discount-fueled bump.
  • Cumulative figures diverge across outlets, with Koimoi estimating Rs 165.26 crore India net and Rs 251.85 crore worldwide gross by Day 20, while Sacnilk-linked reports cite roughly Rs 148.25 crore net in India and about Rs 232.78 crore worldwide.
  • Koimoi pegs domestic returns at roughly 36% on a reported Rs 120 crore budget, crediting controlled costs and profit-sharing for turning the film into a clean success.
  • Ticketing signals stayed lively in Week 3, as BookMyShow data on Tuesday (Day 19) showed a sharp three-hour sales spike of about 122%, helped by discounted pricing.
  • Two vendors have accused the producers of leaving dues of about Rs 48 lakh unpaid, according to Mid-Day reporting relayed by Times Now, a claim that, if unresolved, could squeeze smaller suppliers even as the movie’s box office stays strong.
