It's utterly and entirely painful and tiring to sit through". Shubhra Gupta from the Indian Express also rated it 0.5/5 while saying "The only way to get through it is to see the funny side of it all, and laugh the ghastliness away". Blessy Chettiar of DNA India gave it 0/5 stars saying "If adventure is your thing, go on, have a good laugh but don't complain you weren't warned". Box office Ghost got a wide release due to the popular horror genre and opened to around 850 theatres with plenty of single screens. However it opened to a slow start grossing only 5 million on the first day, although it did score over all the other releases (Sadda Adda, Chaalis Chauraasi and Tutiya Dil). Collections dropped on Saturday, but the film still managed to gross 15.0 million nett over its first weekend. Ghost found strong audiences at single screens, in places like Gujarat, Maharashtra, UP and Berar. Even though it did decent first weekend business, Ghost remained below par throughout its first week, altogether it collected around 53.5 million nett. In its second week Ghost grossed 12.3 million nett, taking the total collections of the film to 85.0 million nett. It was declared "Flop" by Boxoffice-India. Controversy The film was involved in several controversies pre-release regarding the rape case of Shiney Ahuja. The most notable controversy came when several scenes of the film were cut down and trimmed by the Indian censor board as they felt the scenes were violent enough for Ghost to be rated as the most violent Hindi film ever. One particular scene depicted a woman being crucified like Jesus Christ which the censor board felt would hurt the religious sentiments of the Christian community, they also felt that the violence on the woman was too excessive. The director was not happy that a pivotal scene had been cut.
