Four days and Bhoot Part One The Haunted Ship has already slowed down considerably. After a fairly decent start with Rs 5 crore and above, the film struggled to keep up the pace at the box office and by Monday, it has come crashing down. The film has earned a paltry Rs 2.32 crore at the box office on the first Monday which isn't good news for the film. So far, it has earned Rs 18.68 crore. Bhoot directed by debutant Bhanu Pratap Singh got the jump scares right but everything else wrong. A faulty execution of an inane plot affected the film's outcome majorly. Bhoot Part One the Haunted Ship Box Office: How Vicky Kaushal’s Film Fails to Beat These Horror Movies of Sunny Leone, Emraan Hashmi
