Despite facing massive competition from high-budget Marathi, Hindi, and Hollywood releases, the mystery-horror thriller ‘Ghabadkund’ has emerged as a major dark horse at the box office. Delivering a unique blend of suspense and horror, the film has struck a chord with the audience, pulling in impressive numbers and running housefull in several theatres. By the end of its second week, Ghabadkund racked up a phenomenal ₹8.10 crore at the box office.
Standing Tall Against Heavy Competition
What makes Ghabadkund’s run remarkable is the sheer volume of high-profile films it is competing against across multiple languages:
Marathi: Raja Shivaji, Tumbbadchi Manjula, and Deool Bandh 2, while in Bollywood: Welcome to the Jungle, Cocktail, and Mein Back Aunga and Hollywood it can include The Odyssey, Spider-Man, and Obsession.
Driven by strong word-of-mouth, the film has carved out its own dedicated audience, entering its third week with steady momentum and high advance bookings.
