Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Box Office Day 1: Will Kartik Aaryan’s Film Make a Blockbuster Opening?
On November 1, 2024, Bollywood’s highly anticipated film Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 hit theaters, adding excitement to the Diwali celebrations. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the horror-comedy, starring Kartik Aaryan, has been eagerly awaited by fans. Despite facing tough competition from Singham Again, the film has already generated significant buzz and performed well in advance ticket sales, raising hopes for a strong opening day.
The advance booking for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 opened last Sunday, and it quickly gained momentum. According to industry reports from Sacnilk, the film sold over 55 lakh tickets for around 9,901 shows across India, with estimated earnings reaching 17.12 crores without blocked seats and 19.22 crores with blocked seats. This impressive figure places Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 among the highest pre-sales for any Hindi film this year, marking a strong beginning for the franchise’s third installment.
The film's release on approximately 3,000 screens across India gives it a substantial platform, and additional spot bookings on release day could further elevate its box office performance. Given that Diwali vacations are still ongoing, the timing couldn't be better for drawing large audiences.
Audience Reactions: Fans Excited to See Kartik Aaryan Return
For many fans, the excitement of seeing Kartik Aaryan return to his role and face off against the eerie spirit of Manjulika is a major draw. Viewers have expressed their enthusiasm on social media, with fans eagerly sharing their first impressions and praises for the film’s blend of humor and scares. The film’s spooky yet comedic tone, coupled with a festive release, has added to the anticipation, making it an ideal watch for families and horror-comedy enthusiasts alike.
With a reported budget of 150 crores, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has a big target to hit. A first-day opening of 15–16 crores would mark a good start, especially considering its clash with Singham Again. As theaters continue to fill up post-Diwali, the film is expected to see a boost in ticket sales, creating a promising start for its box office journey.
