**New Delhi:** This Diwali, moviegoers are in for a treat as Bollywood releases two big-ticket films – “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” and “Singham Again” – on Friday.

“Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3”, starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit, has taken an early lead in advance bookings, selling over 2.3 lakh tickets and grossing ₹7.49 crore from around 8700 shows. “Singham Again”, featuring Ajay Devgn, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh, is hot on its heels, selling 189K tickets for ₹6.15 crore from 11700 shows.

To add to the festive cheer, BookMyShow is offering discounts and offers on tickets for both films, valid until midnight on October 31st. Moviegoers can get one ticket free on the purchase of two tickets using code ‘B2G1TUESDAY’ on the BookMyShow app and website. Additionally, they can avail a ₹50 discount on every ticket using code ‘GIFT50’ at checkout.

Trade analyst Kamaal R Khan predicted that if “Singham Again” doesn’t close the gap today, both films could see equal opening day collections. This would be a huge win for Kartik Aaryan, who is facing competition from eight superstars in the other film.

The festive release of these films is expected to bring a much-needed boost to the Indian box office, with moviegoers set to enjoy a double dose of action and comedy this Diwali.
