Despite massive buzz, there also remain multiple roadblocks on the way. To begin with, Kartik Aaryan is clashing with Ajay Devgn, who returns to the big screens with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. It’s going to be a tough battle for screens as well as ticket sales. On the other hand, Laxmi Pooja will be celebrated this year on two days – October 31 and November 1, 2024. With the festivities, there is a possibility that the footfalls during the evening shows may be impacted on the opening day.

Considering all the aforementioned factors, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 may open between 20-25 crores.
