Priyadarshan’s horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla is maintaining a consistent pace at the box office as it enters the third week of its theatrical run. The Akshay Kumar starrer continues to attract a decent number of viewers even as newer releases hit the screens.

On its third Tuesday (Day 19), the film collected Rs 0.65 crore net across 2,191 shows with an overall occupancy of 15.0%, reports Sacnilk. While numbers remain modest on weekdays, the film is holding better than other films of this genre.
