BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 collected a good 7 crore nett plus in its forth weekend which now takes the film to 238 crore nett and it will be 240 crore nett plus after the fourth week. The hold is good in the fourth weekend and week on week its looking like a drop which will be under 60%.

The film is likely to finish around the 245 crore nett as there will be hardly any collections after the fifth week with the release of much awaited PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE. BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 has collected a huge 84 crore nett in Mumbai circuit which would have been impossible outside Diwali. BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 had collected 55 crore nett.

The collections in Delhi/UP are less as it will hit 50 crore nett at the end of week four and here BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2 had done business of 46 crore nett which is not much less. These collections from the biggest circuits show how important the Diwali release was even with a clash.

The collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 till date are as follows.

Friday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,60,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 3,15,00,000 apprx

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 had a good third week collecting almost 22 crore nett which takes the total collections of the film to 230 crore nett plus. In the third week, the film has seen a drop of a little over 60% which is a good trend.

The film had opened around 7 crore nett less than SINGHAM AGAIN on day one and is now around 4 crore nett ahead. This gap is likely to widen over the coming 10 days or so. The 250 crore nett mark looks hard for the film as it only has two weeks more but it will be able to finish at 245 crore nett.

This would put the film among the top 20 of all time taking original Hindi films only into account. The film is likely to finish with similar business to URI. But footfalls are more than 50 lakh less than the Vicky Kaushal starrer as that was in 2019 when ticket pricing was lower.

The collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,85,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,90,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,10,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,50,00,000 apprx

--------------------------------------

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 maintained well enough on its fourth Friday with collections in the 1.35 crore nett range and the film now stands at 231.50 crore nett. The film has held well from the previous day and it should have another healthy week.

The film is a SUPER HIT and a SOLO Diwali release could have made it go one notch higher to BLOCKBUSTER as it could have got 300 crore nett. But on the other side, if the film released SOLO outside Diwali week, then the number it is going to get may have been tough to achieve.

The collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,85,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,90,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,10,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,50,00,000 apprx 

Friday - 1,35,00,000 apprx

Diwali in 2024 has turned out be pretty good with both films looking to collect around 475 crore nett between which has never been collected before on Diwali. These numbers can actually be called good but there is feeding involved (corporate booking as per industry/media). So, the numbers are inflated and its the case for both films. This feeding is never as much the industry thinks but generally in the industry things get multiplied which sort of leaves a stigma on all the films which have gone this way and the list has many films post pandemic.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is the winner of the clash as at the end, its going to be doing more business in India and its a far smaller film than SINGHAM AGAIN. The profits are huge with the film being 100 crore in the plus for the makers. The Diwali factor has worked well for the film in a clash and its probably the right decision to come on Diwali even with a clash as when you go through how the film has performed in the circuits, its UNLIKELY the number would have been higher outside Diwali on a solo date. No doubt if it was a solo date on Diwali, then the business would have been better.

Eventually the film is the second biggest HIT from the Hindi film industry so far this year and that is a very good result but the film is not as big as HIT as the previous installment which released in 2022 and also appreciation is not at the level of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 2.

SINGHAM AGAIN has suffered due to the clash but again if this film came on a solo date outside Diwali, it is practically certain the film would not be doing the number it has with this clash on Diwali. The Mumbai circuit number spells this out load and clear. SINGHAM AGAIN needed a solo Diwali which would have allowed it do what it needed theatrically. The clash has meant moderate business and with this huge budget, the film is going to be in the red even after revenue for all sources.  

The big action film today needs the main character to be more front footed and testosterone heavy in terms of aggression (GADAR 2 and ANIMAL being prime examples) to really penetrate into the mass centres and here it looks the opposite as Bajirao Singham goes more subtle. This is all fine in reality as the character is ageing but reality holds little importance as far as masses are concerned. An aggressive Ajay Devgn in the film may not have added 100 crore nett to make the film a big HIT as other flaws would have been there but it would surely have comfortably finished above BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 collected 1.85 crore nett on its third Monday which is a drop from Friday but those Friday collections were inflated due to a partial holiday. This was also why the growth did not come on Saturday and if we take the drop from Sunday, it is more normal.

The total collections of the film now stand at around 225 crore nett and its looking like a third of 21 crore nett. Now its about whether the film can add another 20 crore nett to get to 250 crore nett. That will be the best case scenario for the film which is more than good enough.

The film now has higher totals than SINGHAM AGAIN in all the circuits apart from Mumbai, Nizam/Andhra and TNK and in Nizam/Andhra it should go ahead by the end of the week though in the other two it will remain behind. Even in circuits like Bihar and Odisha BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is now comfortably ahead. In fact, in Bihar, there is a 1 crore nett gap now in favour of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and this a mass action circuit.

The collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,00,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,85,00,000 apprx

The Diwali releases continue to dominate the box office despite a few new releases. BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 collected a good 4.25 crore nett which is a little up on the Thursday and now the total of the film stands at 212 crore nett and it is set for another very good week.

The film was boosted a little in North due to Guru Nanak Jayanti as both Delhi NCR and East Punjab showed good gains from the Thursday and this was basically why the film went up on Friday. The growth will be less also in these two circuits on Saturday but Mumbai and the rest will show a good jump. So, overall there should be a solid growth. The film now has a shot at 250 crore nett lifetime business as its an open period till the release of PUSHPA 2 - THE RULE.

SINGHAM AGAIN collected 3 crore nett apprx on its third Friday which is similar to the Thursday and this film also benefitted in NCR and Punjab but the ratio is less than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 in these parts. The total collections of SINGHAM AGAIN are now 215 crore nett and even here there is an outside chance of 250 crore nett though it will be harder than BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 as that film has a better trend.

There is a chance now that it may well turn out to be a 500 crore Diwali and if not its going to very close. This is good news for the industry as Diwali has never been this big in the recent past and on topm both films had reports which cant be called good but still these numbers have come. Obviously, the franchise factor has to a lot to do with it which will mean even more franchise films in the near future.

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 had a good second week with collections of over 56 crore nett which takes the collections of the film to 208 crore nett. The holiday period finished on Sunday and the film has held on pretty well on the weekdays and got a boost on Thursday in the North and a few other cities due to a holiday on Friday for Guru Nanak Jayanti.

The film is a SUPER HIT film and its mainly about where it will finish and can it go ahead of SINGHAM AGAIN which will be around 5 crore nett ahead after two weeks. Diwali has worked in its favour as the expectations were less and it will get the numbers it needed while the bigger film SINGHAM AGAIN will not meet the expectations.

The film has the highest number ever for a comedy genre film now and will push the benchmark for this genre from 205 crore nett to over 225 crore nett. It also continues the trend of this genre tending to score on Diwali better than other genres but this is probably more to do with the quality of the other genre films coming on Diwali. If a GADAR or BAAHUBALI comes on Diwali, its pretty certain they will multiply the numbers of these comedy films.

The film now stands at almost 75 crore nett in Mumbai circuit which is a huge number considering the last film only got 55 crore nett but this area has that huge Diwali push. The Delhi/UP numbers are around 42 crore nett and it is yet to reach the mark of previous film in the franchise but should do so eventually.

The collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 till date are as follows.

Friday - 9,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 15,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 15,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 4,85,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 4,15,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 3,85,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 4,00,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------------

BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 showed a good hold in its third weekend as it collected 14.50 crore nett which is a drop of 60% from the last weekend. The film now stands at 223 crore nett and has an outside chance of 250 crore nett depending on the business over the next two week.

The film did not show much growth on Saturday as it was a partial holiday on Friday and collections in Delhi/UP and East Punjab were flat on Saturday but the film was solid on Sunday. BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 pretty much remained unaffected by the new releases and remained first choice among the releases out there.

The film now has higher totals than SINGHAM AGAIN in all the circuits apart from Mumbai, Nizam / Andhra and TNK and in Nizam/Andhra, it should go ahead by the end of the week though in the other two it will remain behind. Even in circuits like Bihar and Odisha, BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 is now comfortably ahead. In fact in Bihar, there is a 1 crore nett gap now in favour of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 and this a mass action circuit.

The collections of BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3 till date are as follows.

Friday - 4,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 5,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 6,00,00,000 apprx
