It’s quite an encouraging weekend for Akshay Kumar’s film, whose recent track record hasn’t been too good. Till now the film has set a very good base. Just need to keep it good going forward. If the film manages to do well on Monday and then on weekdays, it will get a clean hit verdict, which is the need of the hour for Khiladi Kumar. Akshay Kumar’s previous film, Jolly LLB 3 also had a good weekend, but it lost momentum on weekdays, due to which it did not become a hit. Bhoot Bangla will aim to avoid this.
Directed by Priyadarshan, Bhoot Bangla received mixed responses among the audience. Had the film received great word-of-mouth, it would have seen an even bigger weekend. Nevertheless, the horror comedy drama has seen promising growth over the weekend, outperforming Jolly LLB 3, especially on its third day (Sunday) in a big way.
