Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa was released alongside Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, and there were doubts about the film’s box office success due to tough competition. Nevertheless, the horror-comedy has surpassed all records to become Kartik’s highest-grossing film. On its 10th day, which also coincided with the second Sunday, the film minted Rs 18.10 crore, taking the overall collection to Rs 216 crore.
The film has also surpassed the collection of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which had managed to make Rs 184 crore in its lifetime. Other hits given by Kartik include Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (Rs 108.95 crore), Luka Chupi (Rs 94.09 crore) and Pati Patni Aur Woh (Rs 84.56 crore).
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 arrived on Diwali, November 1 and has been ruling the hearts of the masses and dominating the box office worldwide ever since. With Kartik Aaryan returning as Rooh Baba, the film achieved the biggest opening of his career. It collected 35.5 crore on the release date, followed by 37 crore and 33.5 crore on Day 2 and 3. By the end of week 1, it made Rs 158.25 crore.
Celebrating the success, film’s producer Bhushan Kumar shared, ‘’Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s phenomenal success has been nothing short of extraordinary. Almost touching the 200 crore mark in just one week and surpassing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s life time numbers – just too incredible and the franchise gets bigger and bigger with every instalment.”
“This franchise not only celebrates its unique genre but also Kartik’s journey from being a star to now superstar. This time he gave it his all and made jaws drop with his performance – taking the franchise to a completely new level. The way he entertains the audiences and gets the pulse of the masses, makes him the most loved and a superstar for a reason,“ he added.
