Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 continues its run at the box office. The film minted Rs 137 crore within its first five days. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the much-anticipated sequel brought back Aaryan as Rooh Baba, a role that has earned him widespread appreciation. The film clashed with Ajay Devgn Singham Again.
According to early estimates by Sacnilk.com, Bhool Bhulaiyaa earned Rs 35.5 crore on its opening day. It picked up even more on Saturday with Rs 37 crore. However, there was a slight dip on Sunday, with earnings of Rs 33.5 crore. Despite this minor drop, the film maintained strong occupancy, with a reported 37.45 percent Hindi occupancy on Monday. And on day 5, it earned Rs 137 crore.
Kartik Aaryan, who plays the beloved character Rooh Baba, seems thrilled by the overwhelming response. On Sunday, he surprised fans by making an appearance at Mumbai’s iconic Gaiety Galaxy theatre, where he was greeted with roaring applause. Dressed in a casual checkered shirt, Kartik climbed onto his car and held up a “Housefull” sign, soaking in the love from his fans. Sharing the moment on Instagram, he wrote, “H O U S E F U L L boards everywhere. I wanted to take it home as a souvenir but they said they need it again tomorrow!”
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is the latest chapter in a franchise that began with Priyadarshan’s 2007 hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa, which starred Akshay Kumar in the iconic role of a ghostbuster. Kartik first stepped into the franchise with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in 2022, a film that redefined horror-comedy and became a runaway hit. This time, the franchise brings back Vidya Balan as the infamous Manjulika after 17 years, adding even more excitement to the mix.
With Anees Bazmee once again at the helm, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is set to continue the franchise’s legacy of blending horror with humour, while Kartik’s Rooh Baba and Vidya’s Manjulika promise an unforgettable showdown. Fans and critics alike are already calling it one of the best releases of the year, and the film’s box office journey seems unstoppable as it heads into its first full week.
