The much-anticipated release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has made a remarkable debut at the Indian box office, with early estimates indicating a net collection of approximately Rs 35.50 crore on its opening day, November 1, 2024. This success is underscored by a substantial occupancy rate of 75.30% for Hindi screenings, showcasing the film’s popularity among audiences.
The film’s performance across various showtimes highlights its strong reception. The occupancy rates were as follows: morning shows attracted 50.67% of viewers, while the afternoon and evening slots saw a significant increase to 81.86% and 83.90%, respectively. Night shows performed exceptionally well, achieving an occupancy rate of 84.77%. This robust turnout suggests a strong word-of-mouth appeal, encouraging viewers to flock to theaters throughout the day.
According to early trends reported by Sacnilk, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is projected to reach a collection between Rs 36 crore to Rs 38 crore on its first day. The film benefited from advance bookings, which amassed over Rs 16 crore before its release. Additionally, spot bookings continued to demonstrate strength throughout the day. However, it’s worth noting that performance could have been even stronger if not for capacity constraints faced in major cities like Delhi NCR and Kolkata.
Kolkata emerged as a standout market, leading the way with an impressive 95% occupancy during evening and night shows. Other key markets included Delhi-NCR at 94%, Chandigarh at 93%, Bhopal at 90%, Mumbai at 88%, and Ahmedabad at 85%. The film managed to secure an extensive release, screening in approximately 10,000 theaters nationwide.
In a notable comparison to its predecessor, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, which earned ₹14.11 crore on its opening day, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has demonstrated a significant increase in box office performance, with an improvement ranging from 155% to 169%. This remarkable leap positions Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 not only as a strong follow-up to the previous film but also as one of the biggest openers in Kartik Aaryan‘s career, surpassing the high expectations set by the earlier installment.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 boasts an impressive ensemble cast, featuring not only Kartik Aaryan but also the talented Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit Nene. The film further enriches its lineup with performances from Vijay Raaz, Rajpal Yadav, Sanjay Mishra, Rajesh Sharma, and Ashwini Kalselar. This diverse cast has undoubtedly contributed to the film’s appeal and its strong opening performance at the box office.
