Anees Bazmee’s directorial venture, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Tripti Dimri in lead roles, started off on an exceptionally good note. It minted Rs 35.5 crore at the box office on Day 1 and the growth since then has been phenomenal. On Day 3, which also marked the end of the Diwali weekend, the film saw business of Rs 33.5 crore, taking the total collection to Rs 106 crore at the domestic level.
The film was released alongside Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again. Despite the tough competition, particularly during Diwali, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 broke records to become Kartik Aaryan’s biggest opener. Among Kartik Aaryan’s top-performing movies are the second installment of Bhool Bhulaiyaa, with a total collection of Rs 184 crore, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety with Rs 108 crore, and Luka Chuppi with Rs 94 crore. However, current trends indicate that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will become his highest-grossing film. The data was shared by Sacnilk.
Kartik took to his Instagram account to express gratitude as his film is houseful in most cinema halls. Holding a banner that reads “Galaxy, Housefull,” a picture shows him standing outside Gaiety Galaxy in Mumbai, surrounded by a huge crowd. Alongside the image, he wrote, “H O U S E F U L L boards everywhere . I wanted to take it home as a souvenir, but they said they need it again tomorrow .” Looking at the increasing demand, theatre owners have increased late night shows in several parts of the country.
