The Diwali box office clash between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again is heating up, with both films vying for audience attention. The Kartik Aaryan-led horror comedy and Rohit Shetty’s star-studded action thriller are set to release on November 1. Limited advance bookings are already open across select theaters, with ticket sales hinting at early trends for both movies.
As of now, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has 1,790 shows and has sold 28,454 tickets, earning a gross of approximately ₹72 lakh, according to Sacnilk. Meanwhile, Singham Again, which opened its advance bookings on Monday evening, has fewer shows at 403 and has sold 2,293 tickets, with a gross of ₹7.7 lakh. Advance bookings for Singham Again are currently open only on select PVR-INOX and independent screens, whereas Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is available on select independent single screens.
According to reports, Singham Again is expected to occupy around 56% of the overall screen count, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is projected to take around 46%. However, this split might shift as the final deals are still being settled between distributors and exhibitors.
With the release only two days away, the race to secure maximum screenings continues. Word-of-mouth reviews will also play a crucial role in determining which film ultimately dominates the weekend. Positive audience response could lead to more screens and shows for the better-received film by Friday evening.
Singham Again, headlined by Ajay Devgn and Kareena Kapoor, also includes appearances from stars like Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Tiger Shroff. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, features Kartik Aaryan alongside Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri.
