Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Faces Box Office Battle With 'Singham Again' And Monday Blues: Can It Hold Steady?
Kartik Aaryan's highly anticipated horror-comedy 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' hit theaters on May 20, 2023, amidst much fanfare. The film, a standalone sequel to the 2007 blockbuster 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa,' has garnered positive reviews from critics and audiences alike, but its box office performance now faces a daunting challenge—the release of Rohit Shetty's 'Singham Again' on May 26, 2023.
Box Office Situation
'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' had a robust opening weekend, grossing over Rs. 50 crore at the domestic box office. However, its momentum is expected to slow down on Monday due to the traditional drop in footfall post-weekend. Additionally, the release of 'Singham Again,' a highly anticipated action-drama starring Ajay Devgn, is likely to dent its earnings.
'Singham Again' is the third installment in the 'Singham' franchise and is expected to open with a bang. The film's star power, coupled with the proven track record of Rohit Shetty's action-oriented films, poses a significant threat to 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.'
Kartik Aaryan's Hopes
Kartik Aaryan has pinned high hopes on 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,' considering it as his biggest release to date. The film's success will not only bolster his position as a leading man in Bollywood but also help him break away from his typecast roles in romantic comedies.
Can 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' Hold Steady?
Despite the impending box office battle, 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' has certain factors working in its favor. The film has received positive word-of-mouth, and its horror-comedy genre has a strong appeal among Indian audiences. Additionally, the film's strong ensemble cast, including Tabu and Kiara Advani, adds to its star power.
However, the extent to which 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' can hold its ground against 'Singham Again' remains to be seen. The Monday blues and the formidable competition from Rohit Shetty's film will undoubtedly test its mettle at the box office.
