Kartik Aaryan’s much-anticipated Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, co-starring Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Tripti Dimri, made a historic entry at the box office on its opening day. Despite facing a strong competition from Singham Again, which claimed 60% of screens and shows across India, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 managed an impressive ₹34-36 crore nett on its first day. Industry insiders predict that if it had released solo, it could have easily crossed the ₹50 crore mark.
The film has garnered a positive response from audiences, setting the stage for a ₹100 crore weekend, and solidifying Kartik Aaryan’s status as a “true blue big star.” The massive Day 1 figures, achieved despite limited screens and competition from a high-profile action release, mark a career-defining moment for Aaryan. This reception further cements his ability to draw audiences and headline major Bollywood hits.
Early audience reactions suggest Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has the potential for a long and successful run at the box office, with predictions of reaching ₹200-300 crore nett in its lifetime collection in India. Such numbers would classify it as a blockbuster and a significant accomplishment for everyone involved, particularly given that it has successfully held its own against the event film Singham Again.
The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also highlights T-Series’ production prowess, proving once again why it is among the top three production houses in the country. With yet another mega-hit, T-Series reaffirms its status as a powerhouse, capable of delivering diverse and highly successful films.
