<p>The much-hyped Vicky Kaushal starrer <em>Bhoot</em>, slated to hit screens on Friday (Feb. 21), is set to make a good start at the domestic box office.

As horror is still not considered mainstream, the Bhanu Pratap Singh-helmed flick might struggle to find wide patronage.</p>.<p>Both films would have fared better had the clash been averted. Dubey feels that <em>Bhoot </em>would have collected around Rs seven crore as a solo release.
