Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Sees Blockbuster Opening: Kartik Aaryan’s Comedy-Horror Collects ₹35.5 Crore on Day 1

The eagerly awaited Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan, Madhuri Dixit, and Vidya Balan, has made an impressive start at the box office with a ₹35.5 crore collection on its opening day. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the third film in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa series debuted over the Diwali weekend, attracting massive footfalls across major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Kolkata. Its 75.3% occupancy rate and significant advance ticket sales have set high expectations for its box-office run.

Despite facing competition from another Diwali release, Singham Again, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 managed to carve its own space and attract audiences with its unique blend of horror and humor. The strong box office performance on its first day positions it to become one of Kartik Aaryan’s biggest openers to date, potentially surpassing the success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2.

According to Bollywood trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has hit the mark with its suspenseful storyline and high entertainment value. Calling the film “outstanding,” Adarsh noted the impressive synergy between Aaryan’s performance and Bazmee’s directorial style. Audience feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly for Aaryan’s comedic timing and Madhuri Dixit’s captivating presence.

Bazmee, thrilled with the audience's reactions, shared his excitement, saying, “It’s the best birthday gift I could ever get! I’m glad viewers are enjoying the film.” As Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 continues to perform well, industry experts anticipate it will drive high earnings throughout the festive weekend, solidifying its status as one of the most successful releases of the year.
