Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Breaks Box Office Records, Ek Villain Returns

Bollywood's Kartik Aaryan has achieved a significant milestone with his latest film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, breaking box office records and surpassing the coveted Rs 100 crore mark in its opening weekend. The film's impressive performance has solidified its place as Kartik's first film to reach this milestone, with a three-day total of Rs 106 crore.

The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 can be attributed to its strong advance bookings, which hinted at its potential for a successful run at the box office. Despite competing with Ajay Devgn's Singham Again, the horror-comedy managed to outperform expectations and make it to the Rs 100 crore mark. Kartik Aaryan's promotional efforts, including visiting a popular theatre in Mumbai, also seemed to have paid off, as fans turned out in large numbers to support his film. The movie also did well in North America, earning a significant $2 million in its opening weekend, adding to its overall success.

Meanwhile, Singham Again, starring Ajay Devgn, has made a significant impression at the box office, crossing the lifetime collection of the original Singham film, which earned ₹157 crore, within its opening weekend. The film added ₹50 crore on its third day, setting a new benchmark for the franchise and boosting its overall earnings. While Singham Again clashed with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at the box office, its strong occupancy rate of 60-65% over the weekend suggests that it has a strong chance of maintaining its momentum through the week.

As the Diwali holidays come to an end, the performance of both films will be closely watched to see how they hold up in the coming days. The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again marks a promising start to the awards season, highlighting the massive box office draw of these two cinema powerhouses.
