Box Office Report (April 24, 2026): Ginny Weds Sunny 2 opens low; Bhooth Bangla stays strong
The final Friday of April brought a fresh Bollywood release with Ginny Weds Sunny 2 hitting theatres. However, the romantic comedy struggled to make a mark on its opening day, while Bhooth Bangla, starring Akshay Kumar, continued its steady box office performance in its second week.
🎬 Ginny Weds Sunny 2 – Day 1 Collection
Directed by Prasshant Jha, the film marks the first on-screen pairing of Avinash Tiwary and Medha Shankr. Despite the fresh casting, the film had a disappointing opening.
- Day 1 Collection: ₹30 lakh
- Total Shows: 1,199
- Overall Occupancy: 8%
Occupancy Breakdown:
- Morning: 3.69%
- Afternoon: 5.62%
- Evening: 8.69%
- Night: 9.31%
The film is a sequel to the 2020 hit Ginny Weds Sunny, which starred Yami Gautam and Vikrant Massey. The new installment follows a professional wrestler whose life changes after meeting a cheerful young woman, blending romance with personal transformation.
Despite its light-hearted premise, the film failed to attract significant footfall on its opening day.
👻 Bhooth Bangla – Day 8 Collection
On the other hand, Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, continues to perform well at the box office.
- Day 8 Collection (Second Friday): ₹5.75 crore
- India Total: ₹90.15 crore
- Worldwide Total: ₹144.70 crore
The horror-comedy saw slight growth compared to the previous day and comfortably outperformed the opening-day numbers of Ginny Weds Sunny 2. Its consistent performance indicates strong audience interest and positive word-of-mouth.
📊 Box Office Verdict
- Ginny Weds Sunny 2 has had a weak start and will need strong weekend growth to stay relevant.
- Bhooth Bangla remains the dominant film at the box office, maintaining momentum even into its second week.
