Published by Parlour News

The full second week is expected to be over Rs. 40 crore nett. The film is a HIT, still on course to Rs. 150 crore nett final, but now it is probably cutting close versus before yesterday, when it seemed to be cruising there. A lot will depend on how well the third week holds. The third week is practically an open week in the Hindi circuits, although Maharashtra will see a very strong competition from the Marathi film, Raja Shivaji. There could be some showcasing issues there, although at this point in the run, the impact will be minimal. Bhooth Bangla has gone for a “Buy One Get One” offer, which probably could have been …

4 min readKochiApr 20, 2026 08:30 PM IST Ever since filmmaking legend Priyadarshan announced last year that he was likely to retire after completing 100 films, his fans have been heartbroken. However, the feeling turned bittersweet when the director announced that his 100th venture would be with Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, his frequent collaborator and one of his best friends since childhood. Recently, production company Aashirvad Cinemas, under Antony Perumbavoor, officially announced the unnamed project as its 38th film venture, thus bringing the director’s landmark movie to life. Since most of Priyadarshan and Mohanlal’s collaborations have been comedic — with notable examples including Boeing Boeing, Aram + Aram = Kinnaram, Mazha Peyyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu, Vellanakalude Nadu, Chithram, Vandanam, Kilukkam, Thenmavin Kombath, and Chandralekha — fans were expecting the movie to fall into that category. Some even thought it would be a serious drama like their Aryan, Kadathanadan Ambadi, Abhimanyu, Adhwaytham, or Kaalapani.

Preparations are in full swing, guests are invited, but will he go ahead with the wedding after learning about the ghost that abducts every new bride? That forms the crux of Bhooth Bangla.
