**Mumbai, November 2nd:** Kartik Aaryan’s “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” continues to dominate the box office, racking up an estimated ₹72 crore in its first two days. The horror-comedy, featuring an ensemble cast including Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, saw a strong opening day collection of ₹35.5 crore, and maintained its momentum on Saturday, earning an impressive ₹36.50 crore.
The film’s success is attributed to its strong opening weekend, which saw an occupancy of 75.06% in theatres across India. “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3” has received positive response from audiences in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and more.
This marks Kartik Aaryan’s biggest opening ever, exceeding ₹30 crore for the first time at the domestic box office. The film’s success comes despite a clash with “Singham Again” on its release day. Director Anees Bazmee expressed his delight at the audience response, calling it the “best birthday gift” and stating his enjoyment in witnessing audience reactions in theatres. He also downplayed the competition, hoping for success for both films.
“Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3,” set in Kolkata, has generated significant buzz since its announcement in March 2023. The film has been praised for its comedic elements and horror twists.
