Kartik Aaryan’s latest film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, released on the festive occasion of Diwali, has stormed the box office with record-breaking collections. Despite clashing with Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty’s big-budget film Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 managed to set an impressive benchmark on its opening day.
Opening Day Earnings
According to Sacnilk’s figures, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 made a strong start with an advance booking collection of ₹19.22 crore even before its release. Following its theatrical launch, the film raked in an astounding ₹35.50 crore on its first day at the box office, establishing itself as Kartik Aaryan’s highest-grossing opener to date.
Kartik’s Highest Opener Yet
With this phenomenal opening, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has surpassed the previous record held by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which collected ₹14.11 crore on its first day when it was released in 2022. The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 cements Kartik Aaryan’s position as one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars.
Clash with Singham Again
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 faced competition from Singham Again, one of the most anticipated films of the year. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 collected ₹35.50 crore on its first day, Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again led with a strong ₹43.50 crore opening, marking a successful Diwali weekend for Bollywood.
