Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, This Diwali weekend has been historic for Bollywood, with both films crossing the impressive ₹100 crore mark at the box office.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again from Friday to Sunday collectively grossed over ₹210 crore net, shattering the previous record of ₹190 crore net set by Animal and Sam Bahadur. The success of these films can be attributed to the festive spirit, which saw massive collections on Friday and Saturday.
However, earnings slightly dipped on Sunday, with Singham Again raking in around ₹33 crore net and BB3 earning approximately ₹32 crore net. By the end of the weekend, BB3 had amassed a total of around ₹100 crore net, while Singham Again finished with approximately ₹108 crore net.
Despite Singham Again being the more significant release, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 proved to be a formidable contender, especially in North, Central, and Eastern India, resulting in a closely contested box office battle. The strong performances of both films not only exceeded the ₹200 crore net target but also highlighted the enduring appeal of BB3, demonstrating that even more minor releases can hold their ground against bigger ones.
This remarkable Diwali weekend showcases the resilience and popularity of Bollywood during festive releases, setting a new benchmark for future Diwali weekends in Hindi cinema. Fans can look forward to more exciting films and box office battles in the coming months!
