Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Surpasses Ajay Devgn's Singham Again in Morning Shows on Day 3, Taking a Narrow Lead at the Sunday Box Office

In a thrilling Diwali box office showdown, Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 edged out Ajay Devgn’s action-packed Singham Again in Sunday morning collections. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned an estimated Rs 1.48 crore during the early morning shows on Day 3, narrowly surpassing Singham Again, which collected Rs 1.44 crore.

However, despite this slight lead, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 still faces a significant gap in total box office earnings. As of Sunday, Singham Again leads with an estimated total of Rs 86.44 crore, compared to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3's Rs 73.48 crore.

Directed by Anees Bazmee, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 features Kartik reprising his quirky role as Rooh Baba alongside Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit. In contrast, Singham Again, helmed by Rohit Shetty, showcases Ajay Devgn in a high-octane action film that has resonated with audiences thanks to its thrilling sequences and patriotic themes.

Industry experts believe both films are poised for strong performances over the holiday weekend. Singham Again has already crossed the Rs 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office. With the extended holiday and evening shows ahead, it remains to be seen which film will dominate the box office.

Monday's performance will also be crucial in determining both films' staying power in the weeks to come.
