New Delhi, April 17 -- Bhooth Bangla Box Office Collection Day 1: Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar's new release, Bhooth Bangla, is off to a slow start at the box office. Adopting a similar strategy to Dhurandhar 2, Bhooth Bangla opened with paid preview shows, earning Rs.3.50 crore from 5,862 shows. The preview shows saw an occupancy of about 30%.

Bhooth Bangla raked in a net of Rs.2.76 crore on day 1 so far. Considering the early estimates, the film's total India gross is now at Rs.7.46 crore while India net collections are Rs.6.26 crore so far.

These are live data and are subject to change. Reports claim that the Akshay Kumar-led film is likely to mint Rs.15 crore on its official release today.
