Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Box Office Day 4: Kartik Aaryan’s Film Dips but Scores Big with ₹120 Crore Milestone

The highly anticipated third installment of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, starring Kartik Aaryan, has been performing well at the box office, captivating audiences with its blend of horror and comedy. Despite tough competition from the action-packed "Singham Again," Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 continues to draw crowds, reaching an impressive ₹123.5 crore in just four days.

By the end of the weekend, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 had already crossed the ₹100 crore mark, establishing a strong opening. The film’s journey began with a massive ₹35.5 crore on Friday, followed by an even stronger ₹37 crore on Saturday. On Sunday, collections slightly dipped to ₹33.5 crore. But despite these variations, the movie has shown resilience, with Monday collections adding another ₹17.5 crore to its total.

This performance not only highlights the enduring appeal of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise but also solidifies Kartik Aaryan’s star power as he reprises his role as Rooh Baba, battling supernatural forces in a lighthearted, humorous way.

According to early estimates from Sacnilk, Monday saw an expected dip in ticket sales, with an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 37.45%. While this decline is typical following a weekend surge, the film's ability to maintain a significant audience on a Monday suggests sustained interest and solid word-of-mouth buzz.

The directorial efforts of Anees Bazmee, who has helmed the last two parts of the franchise, have been instrumental in keeping the movie fresh yet consistent with the previous films. Audiences are drawn not just by the thrills but by the nostalgia the film evokes, especially with the return of Vidya Balan’s character, Manjulika.

Kartik Aaryan’s Connection with Fans: A Moment to Cherish

Kartik Aaryan’s fan engagement has added a special charm to the film’s release. Over the weekend, Kartik surprised fans at Mumbai’s Gaiety Galaxy theatre. The actor, dressed casually in a checkered shirt, stood on top of his car holding a "Housefull" sign, beaming with joy as fans cheered him on. He later shared this memorable moment on Instagram, with a humorous caption expressing his wish to keep the "Housefull" sign as a memento.

This gesture reflects Kartik's genuine connection with his fans, making his journey as Rooh Baba even more relatable. Fans feel they are not just watching a movie but partaking in a shared cultural moment.

The Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise began in 2007, with Priyadarshan’s first installment starring Akshay Kumar as the unforgettable ghostbuster. In 2022, Kartik Aaryan brought new energy to the series as Rooh Baba in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, a character now beloved by fans. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 not only continues this legacy but also reunites audiences with the iconic Manjulika, portrayed by Vidya Balan, adding another layer of nostalgia and excitement.

The franchise's unique combination of horror, comedy, and drama has made it a fan favorite, attracting viewers of all ages. Directed by Bazmee, known for his knack for balancing humor with suspense, the latest film is a testament to how sequels can retain freshness while honoring their roots.
