November 3, 2024: The Diwali box office is thriving with two major releases, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again, both delivering strong performances during the holiday period. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, and Triptii Dimri, has shown a positive trend on its second day, with collections expected to reach around ₹36.5 crore. Meanwhile, Singham Again, featuring an ensemble cast led by Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Ranveer Singh, is projected to earn ₹41.5 crore nett on Saturday.
The combined performance of these films has kept the momentum high from the first day, with late-night shows potentially pushing the numbers even higher. By the end of Day 2, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is estimated to have a cumulative total of ₹72 crore nett, while Singham Again may reach approximately ₹85 crore nett. However, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 seems to be gaining better traction, especially in areas where Singham Again had initially dominated, such as the Mumbai circuit.

The coming days, especially Monday, will be crucial in determining the long-term success of both films. For Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, a horror-comedy set in Kolkata, the Diwali boost has been substantial, but sustaining high collections post-festival could be challenging. Singham Again, a cop drama directed by Rohit Shetty, also needs to hold strong to retain its lead and ensure consistent box office returns in the weeks to come.

With such promising numbers, both films have the potential to emerge as hits, though the competitive dynamics at the box office mean Monday’s collections will play a key role in solidifying their standings.
