2019: #Uri ₹ 8.20 cr
2018: #Raazi ₹ 7.53 cr
2020: #Bhoot ₹ 5.10 cr
2018: #Manmarziyaan ₹ 3.52 cr
2016: #RamanRaghav 2.0 ₹ 1.10 cr
Note: #Sanju is not included in this list.#India biz.
Well, given the film has received mixed reviews, the biz might be affected. Also, the fact that Ayushmann Khurrana’s Shubh Mangal Zyaada Saavdhan on the theatres along with this film, the competition that the film would face even on the first weekend might be greater. Bhoot really needs to pick up pace on Saturday and Sunday to be able to stay afloat, but given the mixed reviews, that might be a problem.
