Kartik Aaryan‘s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has shown impressive resilience at the box office, collecting Rs 5 crore nett on its second Monday. While this marks a 45 percent drop from its Friday collections, the hold is better than expected for a post-holiday period.
After an impressive holiday-driven first week, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is tracking well, with its second week expected to close at over Rs 60 crore, demonstrating a steady hold despite mixed initial reviews. According to Sacnilk, the film is estimated to add another Rs 4.25 crore on Tuesday, maintaining a lead over Singham Again, which has begun to slow in its second week. With Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s collections reaching Rs 208.25 crore in just 12 days, the horror-comedy continues to draw crowds and build on its already impressive box office performance.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will face competition this coming Friday with several new releases across various genres and languages, including films from the South and Hollywood, as well as the Hindi release The Sabarmati Report. This competition may prevent the film from holding its Thursday figures steady into Friday, a feat that could have given it a better chance at reaching the 250 crore nett milestone.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, the horror-comedy has become Kartik’s fastest film to reach the Rs 150 crore mark. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 marks the third installment in the popular franchise. The first film, released in 2007, featured Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 saw Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu in pivotal roles.
Both Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 hit the theatres on Diwali and surprisingly the two have been doing exceptionally well at the box office ever since they were released.
