Hyderabad:The ongoing box office battle between Ajay Devgn's Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has become one of the most fierce in recent times, with neck-to-neck competition. Both films, which hit theatres on November 1, have dominated the box office for over three weeks. However, despite a strong opening and massive anticipation for Singham Again, it seems that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is gradually pulling ahead in terms of box office earnings.
Singham Again Box Office Collection
Singham Again, the latest installment in Rohit Shetty's action-packed Singham franchise, initially sparked excitement with its star-studded ensemble, including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and others. Given its larger-than-life action sequences, the popular Singham brand, and its big-budget production, the film was expected to perform exceptionally well. However, while the movie has managed to make solid earnings, it has not quite met expectations compared to its budget and massive star cast.
In the first week, Singham Again earned an impressive Rs 173 crore nett, but its momentum slowed down during the second week, collecting Rs 47.5 crore. As of Day 21, the film has garnered Rs 236.15 crore in total, with Thursday's collection amounting to Rs 1 crore as per early estimates reported by trade portal Sacnilk. Despite a decent run, the film's performance is underwhelming compared to its star power.

On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee and starring Kartik Aaryan, continues its winning streak. The film has managed to cross Rs 240 crore within its third week, and analysts predict it will soon surpass the Rs 250 crore mark, making it one of the biggest hits of the year. Despite being mounted on a smaller budget compared to Singham Again, the film has outperformed expectations. Its gripping narrative, humour, and strong performances by the ensemble cast have garnered widespread praise.
In its opening week, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned Rs 158.25 crore, followed by Rs 58 crore in its second week. By the end of Day 21, its total collection stands at Rs 239.65 crore, minting Rs 1.65 crore on Thursday. Given its positive word-of-mouth and glowing reviews, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is expected to sustain its momentum and emerge as the clear winner in this box-office clash.
