Movie Faceoff
This Diwali, Bollywood is buzzing with excitement as two major films, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, face off at the box office, creating a highly anticipated clash.
Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, the latest installment in his popular cop universe, kicked off with a significant advantage, securing 60% of available screens. Starring Ajay Devgn alongside a star-studded cast that includes Kareena Kapoor Khan, Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Tiger Shroff, and Arjun Kapoor, the film raked in ₹43.50 crore on its opening day, marking Devgn’s best debut to date.
In comparison, Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also had a strong start, earning ₹35.5 crore on its first day. Featuring Kartik Aaryan as Rooh Baba and Vidya Balan reprising her iconic role as Manjulika from the 2007 original, the horror-comedy has captivated audiences with its unique mix of thrills and humour.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh expressed positivity for both films, stating, “Both films are great. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 offers a horror-comedy experience, while Singham Again delivers action-packed drama. The audience is enjoying both, which is what we want. If both films keep performing well, a combined success celebration would be fantastic.”
Exhibitors are optimistic as well, with expectations that Singham Again will retain its lead. Ashish Kanakia, CEO of MovieMax Cinema, noted, “Blockbuster releases around festivals have historically drawn large crowds. We hope these films will help recover some industry losses, appealing to dedicated fanbases and bringing distinct flavours to the big screen.”
The stakes are high for both franchises: Singham Again continues Shetty’s beloved cop saga with its blend of star power and action, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 capitalises on the rising popularity of horror-comedies, a genre that has recently enjoyed success with hits like Stree 2.
With Devgn’s intense action and Aaryan’s comedic thrills, this Diwali clash promises an exhilarating experience for film lovers as both titles compete for dominance in this festive box office showdown.
