This Diwali promises to deliver an exhilarating cinematic experience with the release of two eagerly awaited big-budget films—Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again. Both trailers have already captured the public's imagination, garnering overwhelming love from fans and setting the stage for a fierce box office showdown.
Kartik Aaryan’s Charm Ready to Shine
While there appears to be a growing inclination among fans toward Ajay Devgn’s Singham Again, particularly after the release of its action-packed trailer, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 starring Kartik Aaryan is poised to hold its ground and perhaps even surpass expectations. According to reports from Koimoi, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is projected to achieve a remarkable opening day collection, estimated to be between ₹17 and ₹20 crores net at the Indian box office. This would surpass the first-day earnings of its predecessor, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which recorded ₹14.11 crores. While official figures are yet to be confirmed, the initial buzz suggests that Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 might secure the highest opening of the franchise, cementing its position as a Diwali blockbuster contender.
Adding to the anticipation surrounding Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is its star-studded ensemble cast, which includes Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, and Tripti Dimri, alongside Aaryan. Notably, Kartik Aaryan has reportedly negotiated a substantial fee for his role, marking this as the most significant project of his career thus far. Fans are particularly excited about the much-hyped dance-off between Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan, both reprising their iconic role of Manjulika. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the trailer has already amassed 46 million views at the time of writing, further building the hype for what is shaping up to be an unmissable cinematic event.
Can Singham Again Break First-Day Box Office Records?
On the other side of this epic Diwali box office battle is Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, which boasts an impressive star cast, including Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Tiger Shroff. Known for delivering high-octane action and gripping narratives, Rohit Shetty’s directorial prowess has cultivated a massive fanbase for the Singham franchise. Industry insiders predict that Singham Again will open to a record-breaking ₹50 crore or more on its first day, setting the tone for an explosive box office run. With its ensemble of A-list actors and high production values, expectations for Singham Again are sky-high, with fans eagerly anticipating its action-packed sequences and larger-than-life performances.
The Stage is Set for a Diwali Box Office Clash
As these two major releases approach, the excitement surrounding both films continues to build. While Singham Again has the potential to dominate with its massive star power and action-filled spectacle, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is expected to hold its own, driven by Kartik Aaryan’s popularity and the unique blend of horror-comedy that has defined the franchise. This Diwali, audiences will be treated to a cinematic face-off that promises to be as thrilling as the films themselves. Whether it's the dance battle between Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan or the action-packed sequences of Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar, this festive season is set to be a memorable one for moviegoers.
