Kartik Aaryan Puts Salman Khan’s #1 Diwali Grosser In Danger? Needs Only 13.71 Crores!
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is enjoying a dream run at the Indian box office, and it has already left behind its competitor. Released amid a high-voltage clash with Singham Again, the film has been on the winning ride right from the opening day. It’s already a big theatrical success, and as per the latest development, it is just a few crores away from toppling Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film among Diwali releases.
Yesterday, the Bhool Bhulaiyaa threequel completed its fourth week in theatres. During the opening week, it amassed a whopping 168.86 crores at the Indian box office. During the second week, there was a drop of 60.90%, and 66.01 crores came in. During the third week, the film added another 25.83 crores* with a drop of 60.86%. In the fourth week, numbers dropped by 55.09% as 11.60 crores* have been registered.
On day 28 (fourth Thursday), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 fell below the 1 crore mark for the first time as 0.90 crore* came in. Speaking about the overall collection at the Indian box office, the Kartik Aaryan starrer stands at 272.30 crores*. Today, on the occasion of Cinema Lovers Day, it might attract more footfalls due to affordable ticket pricing, thus setting the stage for jumps tomorrow and on Sunday.
With 272.30 crores* in the kitty, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is just 13.71 crores away from surpassing Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 (286 crores). For the unversed, Tiger 3 is the highest-grossing Diwali grosser of Bollywood. While the distance isn’t that much, Kartik Aaryan’s film might just fail in beating Tiger 3. This is because Pushpa 2 will arrive on December 5, and it will eat away all other leftover releases. So, there are only 6 days to cover the distance, and during such a short span, covering 13.71 crores isn’t possible.
Domestic collection breakdown of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3:
- Week 1- 168.86 crores
- Week 2- 66.01 crores
- Week 3- 25.83 crores*
