Box office clash: Will Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar 2’ delay Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bhoot Bangla’?

New Delhi : A major box office clash is being discussed in Bollywood. The release of Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla may get delayed. Reports suggest that the makers are considering postponing the film due to the massive success of Ranveer Singh’s spy thriller Dhurandhar: The Revenge (Dhurandhar 2).

Reason behind the possible delay

Bhoot Bangla, originally set to release on April 10, may now arrive in theatres on April 17. The main reason is the strong hold of Dhurandhar 2 at the box office. Even weeks after its release, the film continues to draw large crowds, making it difficult for new releases to get enough screens. Recently, films like Project Hail Mary also struggled to secure screens due to the dominance of Dhurandhar 2.

What sources say

Sources close to the film said, “Considering the historic collections of Dhurandhar 2 and its strong grip on screens, we are thinking of pushing Bhoot Bangla by a week. By April 17, Dhurandhar will have completed nearly a month in theatres, and more screens may become available.”

Fans react on social media

Fans of Akshay Kumar are also concerned about the clash. On social media, many are urging the makers to postpone the film so it can get a fair run. Viewers believe releasing a big film alongside a blockbuster could be risky.

The makers are currently reviewing all options, and a final decision is expected soon. It will be interesting to see whether Bhoot Bangla avoids this box office battle.
