The Diwali 2024 box office is gearing up for an intense battle with the simultaneous release of Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Both films are highly anticipated and have kicked off strong in advance bookings. Kartik Aaryan’s horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Anees Bazmee, currently leads with 2.3 lakh tickets sold across 8,697 shows, translating to ₹7.49 crore in advance sales. Meanwhile, Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, an action-packed entry in the popular Singham franchise led by Ajay Devgn, is close behind with 1.9 lakh tickets sold for 11,664 shows, bringing in ₹6.07 crore, as reported by Sacnilk.
Kartik Aaryan shared his thoughts on the box-office clash, expressing optimism for both films and stating, “Diwali is an occasion when two good films can work together… Audiences get two options in two different genres.” Confident in the appeal of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, he emphasized that his goal is to entertain audiences and create an enjoyable experience for viewers.
Both movies bring together stellar casts: Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 stars Kartik Aaryan alongside Madhuri Dixit, Vidya Balan, and Triptii Dimri, while Singham Again features Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, and Tiger Shroff. With distinct genres—horror-comedy versus action—these films provide diverse entertainment choices for Diwali audiences, and industry experts are optimistic about both performing well in the festive season.
As the release date nears, fans await to see which film will ultimately dominate the box office, though both are well-poised for success given their franchise popularity and impressive ensemble casts.
