A strong opening against tough competition
Dhoomketu’s performance is even more remarkable considering the competition it faced. Bollywood’s War 2 and South Indian big release Coolie had dominated headlines, but Dhoomketu held its ground.
Day 1: ₹2.10 crore
Day 2: ₹3.02 crore
Day 3: ₹1.87 crore
Total (3 days): ₹7 crore
The film not only matched but surpassed expectations, proving the strength of Bengali content when backed by powerful storytelling and star power.
A milestone for Bengali cinema
The film’s roaring success is being seen as a turning point for the regional industry. In an era where Bengali films often struggle to hold screen space against Bollywood and South releases, Dhoomketu has shown that the audience is ready to celebrate homegrown stories when packaged with the right mix of emotions, performances, and spectacle.
Industry insiders believe this momentum could help revive the box office run for upcoming Bengali films, setting a new benchmark for what is possible with strong local content.
As Dev and Subhasree continue to win hearts with their performances, and Kaushik Gangopadhyay enjoys the fruits of his storytelling, one thing is clear—‘Dhoomketu’ fever has gripped Bengal, and the journey has only just begun.
