Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Or Singham Again: Who Will Win?

After
months
of
no
action
(Stree
2
arrived
during
the
Independence
Day
weekend),
Diwali
may
light
up
the
box
office
again.

Singham
Again
and

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
3
will
release
together
on
Friday,
November
1.

Should
the
clash
have
been
averted?
The
answer
is
a
definite
yes.

After
all,
when
there
are
so
many
open
weeks
with
zero
action,
it
would
have
made
sense
to
space
them
out.

But
the
makers
of
both
films
had
their
own
reasons
to
stick
to
their
stand.

Team

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
3
felt
that
since
they
had
announced
the
release
date
first,
they
had
the
first
right
over
the
Diwali
weekend.

Moreover,
it’s
a
family
film
that
resonates
well
with
the
celebratory
feel.

On
the
other
hand,
even
though

Singham
Again
moves
from
the
Independence
Day
release
date
to
Diwali,
their
reasoning
is
that
the
film
has
its
principal
characters
based
on
the
Ramayana
and
hence
it
makes
sense
to
arrive
on
Diwali.

The
trouble
is
that
the
screens
and
shows
are
still
being
divided
between
the
two
films.
The
advance
booking
has
opened
extremely
late,
that
too
in
pockets,
and
now
it
has
only
three-four
days
to
build
momentum.

The
good
part
is
that
both

Singham
Again
and

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
3
are
much
anticipated.

Both
are
mass
films,
aimed
at
huge
bulk
of
audiences.

In
terms
of
the
opening
day,
Rohit
Shetty’s
film
may
take
the
lead
since
he
has
assembled
a
big
star
cast
and
each
one
will
bring
their
own
fanbase.

On
the
other
hand,
the
Kartik
Aaryan-starrer
will
entice
an
audience
of
its
own,
since,
as
a
franchise,

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
has
done
quite
well.

At
the
very
least,

Singham
Again
will
collect
Rs
35
crore
(Rs
350
million)
on
its
opening
day
while

Bhool
Bhulaiyaa
3
will
cross
the
Rs
25
crore
(Rs
250
million)
mark.
Between
the
two
films,
a
half
century
score
is
there
for
the
taking
and
anything
that
comes
over
Rs
60
crore
(Rs
600
million)
would
be
an
added
bonus.
