This Diwali, two mega Bollywood franchises, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, hit theaters on the same day, sparking excitement and curiosity among fans. Why the clash?
According to Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, both teams made every effort to avoid it, but commitments held them back. Bhushan even met with Ajay Devgn to discuss a shift, but digital platform deals and other factors made rescheduling impossible. Surprisingly, there’s “no bitterness” between T-Series and Singham Again’s team—just respect for each other’s dedication to fans.
Box office clashes often split the audience’s attention, impacting numbers for both movies. Bhushan Kumar acknowledged that a solo release would likely have boosted Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s earnings.
Despite this, both films are thriving. Singham Again, led by Ajay Devgn and directed by Rohit Shetty, crossed the ₹200 crore mark within just five days. Meanwhile, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, under Anees Bazmee’s direction, opened with ₹36.60 crore, proving that fans still adore a dose of Bollywood horror-comedy.
Ever since Bhool Bhulaiyaa first released in 2007, blending horror and humor with Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, fans have been captivated by its supernatural thrills.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 brings Kartik Aaryan back to lead, joined by Madhuri Dixit Nene, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri, with familiar faces like Rajpal Yadav adding to the fun. With Bazmee at the helm, the third installment promises the chills, laughs, and suspense fans love.
Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again raises the stakes, with a cast filled with Bollywood stars like Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Arjun Kapoor.
Known for its intense action scenes, Singham Again pulls from epic stories like the Ramayana, making it a unique cinematic experience. Fans of the franchise are thrilled, and the numbers speak for themselves—it’s a box office success.
With both Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Singham Again resonating at the box office, it’s clear Bollywood knows how to make Diwali special. For fans, it’s the best of both worlds—a film that delivers laughs and scares, and another that promises heart-pounding action.
