Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is having an impressive run at the box office in its first week, showing consistent performance even after the Diwali weekend rush. The film, directed by Anees Bazmee, has earned ₹158.25 crore net in India by Day 7, making it the fastest Kartik Aaryan film to cross the ₹150-crore mark.
Key Highlights of the Box Office Collection:
Day 7 Performance: On Thursday (Day 7), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned ₹9.50 crore, maintaining a solid 11% drop from the previous day. This shows the film’s steady momentum post-Diwali.
Opening Week Success: With this strong Thursday haul, the film is on track to cross ₹200 crore net in its second week, barring any significant drops. It also marks a milestone as it has already crossed the ₹150-crore mark, making it the fastest film of Kartik Aaryan to do so.
Overseas Collection:
Internationally, the film is performing well, expected to cross the $6-million mark (₹50 crore) in its first week. Final figures from the foreign markets are awaited.
Competition with Singham Again: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has managed to outperform Singham Again on Day 7. While Singham Again earned ₹8.75 crore, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 pulled in ₹9.50 crore, a rare feat considering Singham Again’s larger star power and more screen presence. However, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is still behind Singham Again in overall collections by approximately ₹15 crore net.
The Film’s Strength: Despite having a smaller budget and less star power than Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has shown impressive resilience and word-of-mouth, attracting audiences with its mix of comedy, horror, and a beloved franchise legacy. The film’s ensemble cast—featuring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri—has likely contributed to its broad appeal.
Conclusion:
Given its consistent performance, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is poised for a strong run in its second week. It may even challenge the overall box office domination of Singham Again if it maintains its pace. With its steady weekday collections and strong overseas performance, this sequel is already shaping up to be a major success.
