Prepare yourself for a major box office showdown on November 1 as Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 gets set to clash with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.
Following his return to the big screen after the pandemic, Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 made a significant mark by grossing over Rs 185 cr, becoming one of the top-performing films post lockdown. The landscape of Hindi cinema has seen notable shifts since 2022, especially with Shah Rukh Khan setting new records and unexpected hits like Stree 2 and Animal emerging in the industry. As anticipation builds for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, all eyes are once again on Kartik Aaryan, who remains unfazed by any perceived pressure.
Last year, the movie featuring Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor set a new record as the top-grossing Hindi film ever, whereas Animal, led by Ranbir Kapoor, joined the elite Rs 500 crore club. These non-Khan movies shattered the box office norms, proving to many that massive success could be achieved without relying on the traditional superstars of the industry.
Kartik was questioned by Indianexpress.com about whether the discussions regarding box office numbers and the performances of the two films have now placed him in the spotlight to deliver significant results.

When considering a movie’s success, various factors come into play. Elements such as the team involved, their recent and upcoming projects, the target audience, release date significance, and holiday season timing all contribute to the equation. Industry experts meticulously analyze these components to alleviate the pressure and optimize outcomes. Mathematics becomes the backbone of such strategic considerations.
Kartik highlighted the unequal playing field of the box office and film release schedules, emphasizing that success has never come easily to him in his career.
Throughout my endeavors, I have never been bestowed with opportunities on a silver platter. I had to carve my own path; no one presented me with a ready-made solution. No one introduced me to a Rs 500 cr director right from the beginning; I collaborated with budding directors. Therefore, luck hasn’t always been on my side, yet I am fully aware of the avenues from where my success can soar. If I continue to achieve that same level, I find solace in that accomplishment.
[Rephrased]: He emphasized that he was not drawing comparisons or voicing complaints. Reflecting on his journey, he noted the positive shift in his recognition from being unknown upon arrival in the city to now being acknowledged across the country. Expressing gratitude, he found solace in this newfound prominence.
Anees Bazmee’s upcoming movie, Bhool Bhaulaiyaa 3, features renowned actresses Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit. Scheduled for release on November 1, the film is anticipated to clash at the box office with Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again.
