Meanwhile, Singham Again, helmed by Rohit Shetty, continues to draw massive crowds, with a total of ₹180.5 crore by Day 8. However, due to its larger ₹350 crore budget, Singham Again is still building toward profitability, while Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has already comfortably surpassed its budget, making it the current leader in the profit race.

As it stands, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is proving that even a “smaller” film can outperform a blockbuster in terms of returns, cementing its position as a dark horse in this intense competition.
