The Bhootnii is a horror comedy entertainer that stars Sanjay Dutt and Mouni Roy in the lead roles alongside Sunny Singh and Palak Tiwari. Horror comedies are the flavor of the season in Bollywood at the moment. Last year, Hindi cinema had a great time with horror flicks like Stree 2, Munjya, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
However, The Bhootnii failed miserably at the ticket windows despite having noted faces. The movie opened to a poor Rs. 50 lakhs nett, making it one of the slowest starts. This was followed by Rs 40 lakhs nett and Rs 60 lakhs nett on Friday and Saturday, respectively. On Sunday, the collections saw a slight improvement with Rs. 75 lakhs nett, but the overall total is disastrous, to say the least.
On Monday, the Sanjay Dutt and Mouni Roy-starrer sank further, earning just Rs 15 lakhs nett, taking the collection tally to Rs 2.4 crore nett. There are absolutely no signs of recovery looking at the trend. Written and directed by Sidhaant Sachdev, the film is jointly produced by Deepak Mukut and Sanjay Dutt. The Bhootni clashed with Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 on May Day.
