The Bengali film industry is abuzz with excitement as Dhumketu, one of the most anticipated movies of the year, smashes advance ticket sales records ahead of its grand release on August 14, 2025. Cinema lovers across West Bengal, especially in Kolkata, are flocking to multiplexes and single-screen theaters, ensuring that Dhumketu’s opening weekend is destined to be a blockbuster event.
Over 35,000 Tickets Sold—A Milestone for Bengali Cinema
As of today, Dhumketu has crossed an impressive milestone, with over 35,000 tickets sold across West Bengal during advance booking alone. This figure, which surged from 18,000 tickets just yesterday, highlights the immense popularity of the film and growing pre-release buzz on social media and booking platforms.
Industry insiders reveal that cities like Kolkata are witnessing rapid bookings, with several shows either sold out or fast filling on platforms like BookMyShow. Dhumketu’s ticket sales have not only outpaced recent Bengali releases but have also rivaled some of Bollywood’s major Independence Day week box office performances in Bengal.

Star Power & Story—Why Audiences Are Excited
Dhumketu boasts a stellar cast including Dev, Subhashree Ganguly, Parambrata Chatterjee, and Chiranjeet Chakraborty. The film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Kaushik Ganguly, promising a unique cinematic experience blending intense drama and riveting storytelling.
Such a potent combination of top stars and a strong director has driven massive interest, with over 50,000 people showing intent to purchase tickets on BookMyShow—a record for Bengali film releases.
What’s Next: All Eyes on the Opening
With growing anticipation, industry experts predict Dhumketu could set new opening day and weekend records for Bengali cinema. “The buzz is extraordinary. We’re seeing seats fill up for prime shows days before the release. Dhumketu’s advance sales performance has set a benchmark for local productions,” said a leading Kolkata exhibitor.
