The highly anticipated horror-comedy film 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, made a strong impression at the global box office on its opening day. While showcasing a fantastic debut, the film appears to be lagging slightly behind Ajay Devgn's 'Singham Again', which has set a higher benchmark in the box office race.
According to Sacnilk, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' had an impressive start at the box office, raking in Rs 35.50 crore (nett) in India on its opening day. With a worldwide collection reaching Rs 55 crore (nett) so far, the film has made quite an impact since its release on Friday during the Diwali celebrations. This robust performance reflects strong audience interest and excitement for the film, evident in the overall Hindi occupancy of 75.30 percent on its opening day.
However, Rohit Shetty's latest entry into the cop universe, 'Singham Again', is currently leading the box office race, outpacing Kartik Aaryan's 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3'. The action-packed film, featuring Ajay Devgn, Ranveer Singh, and Akshay Kumar, secured an impressive Day 1 total of Rs 65 crore worldwide. This highlights the strong appeal of the 'Singham' franchise and the star power of Ajay Devgn, further solidifying his position as a box office heavyweight.
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3', set in the vibrant city of Kolkata, West Bengal, was officially announced in March 2023, generating considerable excitement leading up to its release. While the film has performed well on its opening day, it remains to be seen whether it can sustain this momentum and surpass the box office success of its predecessor. The film's performance will likely be influenced by word-of-mouth reviews and the overall audience reception to its comedic elements and horror twists.
