This Diwali promises a major box office clash with two big releases: Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Ajay Devgn’s action-packed Singham Again. Fans eagerly await these films, which bring two popular franchises to theaters on the same day, November 1st. While the genres differ, with one delving into spooky humor and the other a high-intensity cop drama, both films are riding a wave of audience anticipation.
Advance Bookings Show Strong Demand for ‘Singham Again’
With advance bookings now open internationally, Singham Again is leading the race, especially in the UAE and the US. In UAE’s Vox Cinema alone, Singham Again has raked in sales worth approximately ₹6.6 lakh, with 505 tickets sold across 64 shows. Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has sold 296 tickets, placing Singham Again nearly 85% ahead in pre-booking sales. In the US, Singham Again has brought in ₹4 lakh through Regal Cinema, whereas Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has secured ₹2 lakh.
This excitement extends to other regions, including the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, where Singham Again appears to be resonating well with audiences.
Different Budgets and Star Power
Both films also vary significantly in budget and star cast size. Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty, boasts a power-packed ensemble that includes Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, and Jackie Shroff, promising an intense cinematic experience.
On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 brings in a stellar cast of its own with Kartik Aaryan, Trupti Dimri, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit. However, with a smaller budget and cast, it aims to deliver thrills through a tightly woven horror-comedy storyline.
Trailers Stir Excitement Among Fans
Both movie trailers have fueled fan excitement. While Singham Again promises high-octane action, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 teases with humor and eerie thrills, showing both franchises catering to different audience tastes this festive season.
