The reunion between the director and lead actor after many years has also played a key role in attracting viewers.

Can Bhooth Bangla reach Rs 300 crore?
While the film has achieved a major milestone its journey ahead may face challenges. New releases are expected to affect its screen count and daily earnings have already started to slow down.

Along with Akshay Kumar the film features a strong ensemble cast including Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Late Asrani and Mithila Palkar. Their performances have added depth and humour to the film which has helped it connect with audiences across age groups.
