(Photo Credit: Instagram)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After the underperformance of Jolly LLB 3, Akshay Kumar is geared up to make his big-screen comeback with Bhooth Bangla. So far, the film has managed to generate good buzz among fans as well as neutrals due to the credentials involved. The upcoming Hindi horror-comedy entertainer brings back the classic duo of Akshay and director Priyadarshan, and the trade expects it to perform well at the Indian box office. But will it repeat the magic of Sooryavanshi by achieving one major milestone on day 1? Let\u2019s discuss it below!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The post-COVID era has been very disappointing for the superstar, as, except for a couple of films, all theatrical releases have tanked at the Indian box office. Even in terms of opening day collection, the majority of them have been underperformers. Except for Sooryavanshi and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/bollywood-movies\/movie-reviews\/housefull-5-movie-review-we-also-need-a-laal-pari-to-survive-this-torture-brainrot-cringefest-that-akshay-kumars-comedy-thriller-was\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Housefull 5<\/a>, none of Akki\u2019s films have hit the 20 crore milestone on day 1.<\/p>\n<p>Sooryavanshi is the last Akshay Kumar film to earn 25 crore on day 1<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The first post-COVID release of Akshay Kumar was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/bollywood-movies\/movie-reviews\/sooryavanshi-movie-review-rohit-shetty-sells-the-prototype-in-akshay-kumar-after-the-superhit-success-of-his-hero-products-ajay-devgn-ranveer-singh\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sooryavanshi<\/a>, and despite restrictions, the film managed a solid start thanks to all the pre-release hype. On day 1, it clocked 26.29 crore net, and it still remains the biggest opener for the actor in the post-pandemic era. It was released in 2021, so it\u2019s been 4 long years; no Akki film has reached the 25 crore milestone on day 1.<\/p>\n<p>Can Bhooth Bangla repeat Sooryavanshi\u2019s magic?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Akshay Kumar\u2019s next release, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/reviews\/trailer-reviews\/bhooth-bangla-teaser-review-akshay-kumar-priyadarshan-assemble-the-entire-bhool-bhulaiyaa-clan-to-sell-us-a-recycled-haveli\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bhooth Bangla<\/a>, is releasing in theaters on April 10, and it\u2019s a non-holiday release. However, with the duo of Akshay and Priyadarshan making a comeback, the film is expected to open on a strong note. So far, the buzz has been good, and with a powerful trailer and chartbuster tracks, it can repeat the magic of Sooryavanshi and achieve a 25 crore milestone on day 1.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Bhooth Bangla is expected to open well, let\u2019s take a look at the opening-day collections of Akshay Kumar\u2019s post-COVID releases below.<\/p>\n<p>Sooryavanshi \u2013 26.29 crore<br \/>\nBachchhan Paandey \u2013 13.25 crore<br \/>\nSamrat Prithviraj \u2013 10.7 crore<br \/>\nRaksha Bandhan \u2013 8.2 crore<br \/>\nRam Setu \u2013 15.25 crore<br \/>\nSelfiee \u2013 2.55 crore<br \/>\nOMG 2 \u2013 10.26 crore<br \/>\nMission Raniganj \u2013 2.8 crore<br \/>\nBade Miyan Chote Miyan \u2013 16.07 crore<br \/>\nSarfira \u2013 2.5 crore<br \/>\nKhel Khel Mein \u2013 5.23 crore<br \/>\nSky Force \u2013 15.3 crore<br \/>\nKesari Chapter 2 \u2013 7.84 crore<br \/>\nHousefull 5 \u2013 24.35 crore<br \/>\nJolly LLB 3 \u2013 12.5 crore<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stay tuned to Koimoi for more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/category\/box-office\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">box office updates<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Must Read:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.koimoi.com\/box-office\/oromeo-box-office-collection-day-29-shahid-kapoor-starrers-position-as-bollywoods-2nd-highest-grosser-of-2026-in-danger\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> O\u2019Romeo Box Office Collection Day 29: Shahid Kapoor Starrer\u2019s Position As Bollywood\u2019s 2nd Highest-Grosser Of 2026 In Danger<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Follow Us: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/koimoidotcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/koimoi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Koimoi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Twitter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Koimoi4Bollywood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">YouTube<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/s\/CBIwo7yAqUE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Google News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>                                            <script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bhooth Bangla Box Office: Can Akshay Kumar Recreate His Sooryavanshi Opening-Day Milestone After 4 Years?
