Needs less than 5 crore to beat Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2

With 256.02 crore, Bhooth Bangla is already the fifth-highest-grossing Indian horror-comedy film globally. To claim the fourth spot, it must beat Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (260.49 crore), which is 4.47 crore away. So, to grab the fourth spot, the Akshay Kumar starrer must add another 4.48 crore to its kitty, which will be easily accomplished during the fifth weekend.

Stree 2 – 884.45 crore
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 – 421.22 crore
