Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (BB3) has stormed into cinemas, shattering expectations and emerging as a major box-office triumph. The Kartik Aaryan-led horror-comedy, directed by Anees Bazmee, outpaced all initial predictions, setting a new benchmark for both the star and the director.
Kartik Aaryan’s Career-Best Opener
Kartik Aaryan, riding high on the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, delivered his biggest opening day to date with BB3, which grossed a stunning Rs 36.60 crores on its first day in India. This impressive number surpasses his previous best, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which earned Rs 14.11 crores on Day 1.
Meanwhile, for director Anees Bazmee, BB3 marks his career-best opener as well, showcasing his strength in the horror-comedy genre.
Strong Performance Across Chains and Single Screens
The film’s performance in multiplex chains was impressive, with BB3 collecting Rs 15.91 crores across major networks like PVR Inox, and Cinepolis. However, what truly sets BB3 apart is its stronghold in mass-market areas and single screens, where it managed to draw audiences even in competition with the blockbuster Singham Again.
Having said that, it is worth mentioning here that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 marks the third successful horror-comedy of 2024, following the footsteps of Munjya and Stree 2.
Box office collections of horror-comedies released in 2024 at a glance:
Stree 2 – Rs. 627.02 crores
