‘The Bhootnii' box office collections day 1: Sanjay Dutt's horror comedy opens with Rs 65 lakhs, Sees moderate occupancy

Sanjay Dutt 's latest horror comedy 'The Bhootnii' has made its theatrical debut with a modest start at the box office. According to early estimates from the Sacnilk website , the film earned Rs 65 lakhs net on Day 1 (Thursday, May 1, 2025), indicating a lukewarm response from audiences despite its unique blend of horror and comedy. Directed by Sidhaant Sachdev, the film stars Sanjay Dutt as Baba, Mouni Roy as Mohabbat, Sunny Singh as Shantanu, Palak Tiwari as Ananya, and YouTuber Nickunj Lotia (BeYouNick) as Sahil. Aasif Khan also plays a key supporting role. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo Occupancy Report and Audience Reception On its opening day, The Bhootnii recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 18.90%. The film witnessed a gradual rise in attendance through the day: Morning Shows: 10.18% Afternoon Shows: 18.80% Evening Shows: 25.52% Night Shows: 21.10% Region-wise, Mumbai and Pune showed relatively better interest with 33% and 30.25% average occupancy, respectively. Mumbai saw a peak during evening shows with 51% occupancy, suggesting a slight upward trend as the day progressed. What lies ahead While the opening day figures are on the lower side, The Bhootnii could see a pickup over the weekend, especially if word-of-mouth plays in its favor. With Sanjay Dutt's fanbase and the genre's appeal among youth, the film's performance in Tier 2 cities and smaller towns could be crucial in the coming days. Our verdict ETimes gave only 2 stars rating for the film and our review reads, 'The film falls short in the horror department, though the comedic elements somewhat compensate for its shortcomings. Sunny Singh, Nikunj Lotia, and Aasif Khan deliver amusing one-liners, and their camaraderie brings occasional laughs. However, their characteristics feel exaggerated and outdated—Sahil is fixated on finding a girlfriend, while Nasir is a wannabe shayar who constantly speaks in Urdu.' Oye Bhootni Ke - Official Trailer
