The Anees Bazmee-directed horror comedy, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, led by Kartik Aaryan with Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri has seen solid results in the opening weekend, as early estimates indicate a 3-day business of around Rs 100 crore. After opening at Rs 33.25 crore on Friday, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 collected Rs 34.75 crore on Saturday, and finally Rs 32 crore on Sunday.

The film is doing fantastic business all across the board, with the best centres being CI, West Bengal, Orrisa, and Delhi. The top 3 national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis – have collected in the range of Rs 46.00 crore over three-day period contributing approximately 47 percent to the total business. The lifetime collections of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will depend on how well it holds on Monday, and it’s the trend on the weekdays that will determine the verdict.

However, given the solid start, controlled costs, and competition, the final results will be good enough for the film to secure the clean hit verdict, with the scope to go wider depending on the first Monday business. The 3-day collections of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 are the biggest till date for Kartik Aaryan by a margin, and it would be interesting to see if the film can top the lifetime collections of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (Rs 182 crore) and emerge the first-ever for the actor to enter the Rs 200 crore club.

There has been an increase in showcasing for the film over the weekend, from 40 percent of total on Friday, to about 47 percent on Sunday, which is a positive sign.
