The Diwali season is heating up as two major Bollywood films, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, are set to clash on November 1st, 2024. Fans of Kartik Aaryan and Ajay Devgn are already buzzing, as these two highly anticipated films go head-to-head. Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty, recently dropped its trailer and immediately made waves, garnering an impressive 51.95 million views on YouTube within 24 hours. With the upcoming release of the Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 trailer, movie enthusiasts are eagerly waiting to see if it can match—or even surpass—the excitement.
The Massive Success of the ‘Singham Again’ Trailer
Singam Again, featuring Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone, has already set the tone with its high-action trailer. The trailer, loaded with intense fight scenes, iconic one-liners, and a star-studded cast, quickly reached YouTube’s top 10 most-viewed Indian trailers in 24 hours, landing at number nine. This accomplishment also bumped RRR out of the top rankings, whose trailer had previously amassed 51.1 million views. Despite a few criticisms, including Deepika Padukone’s South Indian-accented Hindi and some storylines, the trailer has kept the audience’s attention.
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’: A Different Flavor of Entertainment
While Singham Again taps into the action genre, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy, offers a completely different experience. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film stars Kartik Aaryan reprising his role as Rooh Baba, with the return of Vidya Balan as the unforgettable Manjulika. Trupti Dimri is a new addition to the film’s cast, bringing fresh energy to the beloved franchise. This third installment promises a mixture of supernatural thrills and humorous dialogues, something fans of the series have been eagerly anticipating.
Trailers and Social Media: The Real Battle Begins
The Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 team faces a big challenge with their trailer release, as Singham Again has already set a high bar. Within just 24 hours, the Singham Again trailer racked up millions of views, hitting social media hard with hashtags and fan theories about the film. Now, the question is whether Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 can capture a similar level of excitement.
Today, trailer releases are no longer simple teasers; they are almost as big as the films themselves. With fans dissecting every frame, social media has become a battleground for immediate feedback and instant viral success. The number of views a trailer gets within the first 24 hours often reflects audience anticipation and can indicate box office success.
Top Trailers List: A New Milestone to Watch
Singam Again has added its name to the prestigious list of most-viewed trailers on YouTube within 24 hours. With 51.95 million views, it joins the ranks of other record-breaking films like Salaar, KGF Chapter 2, and Jawan. Here’s a quick look at where the trailer stands in comparison to these giants:
| Rank | Movie | Views in 24 Hours |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Salaar | 113.2 million |
| 2 | KGF Chapter 2 | 106.5 million |
| 3 | Lone Man | 74 million |
| 4 | Salaar (Trailer 2) | 72.2 million |
| 5 | Animal | 71.4 million |
| 6 | Donkey | 58.5 million |
| 7 | Radheshyam | 57.5 million |
| 8 | Jawan | 55 million |
| 9 | Singam Again | 51.95 million |
| 10 | RRR | 51.1 million |
For Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, hitting this list would not only be a testament to the fan following of the horror-comedy genre but also establish it as a Diwali box-office heavyweight.
The Box Office Showdown
The simultaneous release of these two films has fans speculating about which one will ultimately come out on top. Singam Again, with its intense action sequences and an impressive cast, has an edge in terms of adrenaline-pumping content. However, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has a unique appeal with its blend of horror and humor, promising a different kind of entertainment experience for the holiday season.
As the trailers spark interest, pre-booking numbers and social media trends will soon give an idea of audience preferences. Ultimately, the box office outcome will reflect which genre wins over Diwali moviegoers this year—action or horror-comedy.
