The Marathi film Bhootam Bhayyam, starring Karan Sonawane, has recovered 74% of its production cost after a fortnight of theatrical run, leaving it still shy of the breakeven point but inching closer to the safe zone.
Bhootam Bhayyam, a Marathi horror‑comedy featuring Karan Sonawane, has completed its second week of release with a recovery of 74% of its production budget.
The film’s earnings, while modest, indicate steady audience interest, especially in the home state of Maharashtra. 74% of the budget means the movie has still not reached the breakeven point, but it has closed a significant gap compared to its opening week.
Industry analysts note that films typically enter the ‘safe zone’ once they recover around 90% of their costs, after which they can start turning a profit through ancillary revenues. Bhootam Bhayyam’s current trajectory suggests it may reach that threshold in the coming weeks if the box‑office momentum continues.
The producers have expressed optimism, citing positive word‑of‑mouth and a growing fan base for the lead actor. The film’s performance will be closely watched as it competes with other releases in the Marathi market.
For now, Bhootam Bhayyam’s two‑week run demonstrates resilience, but the final verdict on its commercial success will depend on the next fortnight’s collections.
