The festive season witnessed an intense box office clash between two major releases, with Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Ajay Devgn's Singham Again collectively earning over Rs 206 crore in their opening weekend. Both films showcased remarkable performances, though with distinct patterns across different circuits.
Singham Again Box Office Collection
Rohit Shetty's cop universe expansion Singham Again opened with a thunderous Rs 40.25 crore on its first day. The film maintained strong momentum with Rs 38 crore on day two, followed by Rs 31 crore on Sunday, bringing its total weekend collection to Rs 109.25 crore. This achievement marks a significant milestone as Ajay Devgn's first film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in its opening weekend.

Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 demonstrated impressive staying power, accumulating Rs 67.75 crore in its first two days.

The film is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore milestone on its fourth day, representing Kartik Aaryan's best opening weekend performance.

Singham Again has shown particularly strong results in the Mumbai circuit and Maharashtra-Gujarat belt. However, early trends indicate better sustainability for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, despite its relatively lower absolute numbers. The horror-comedy's controlled production costs have already secured its position as a hit, while Singham Again faces higher expectations due to its massive budget.
The Rohit Shetty directorial boasts an ensemble cast including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor, with a special appearance by Salman Khan. The film's high production value and star-studded lineup contribute to its significant budget considerations.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa, directed by Anees Bazmee, features Kartik Aaryan alongside Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, and Triptii Dimri. Set in Kolkata, the horror-comedy has already claimed the sixth position among Kartik Aaryan's highest-grossing films, with its predecessor Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 holding the top spot at Rs 184.32 crore.
The real test for both films begins with Monday's numbers, as weekday performance will determine their long-term success. Mixed word-of-mouth reactions might impact the films' business in the coming days. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 enjoys a safety net due to its controlled budget, Singham Again needs to maintain strongholds to justify its massive production costs.
Industry experts suggest that post-Diwali sustainability will be crucial for both releases. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 aims to surpass its predecessor's lifetime collections, while Singham Again looks to leverage its star power for an extended theatrical run.
