Highest Grossing Horror Comedies in Bollywood: Stree 2 tops; Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 set to topple Golmaal Again to emerge 2nd
Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is expected to hold second position in the highest grossing horror comedies in Bollywood. Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor's Stree 2 is at the top.
We have grown up watching horror movies in our childhood, some of which continue to scare us. When blended with comic elements, it serves as a horror-comedy. Bollywood films associated with this sub-genre include Bhootnath, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Goa Goa Gone, Stree, Roohi, Bhediya, Munjya, and more. Horror-comedy has been in trend in recent years as far as pulling audiences to theatres is concerned.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Is The Latest Hit Horror Comedy
Released on November 1 on the occasion of Diwali, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is scoring exceedingly well at the box office. Kartik Aaryan and Triptii Dimri-starrer has fetched nearly Rs 150 crore net in India at the time of writing this article. The latest horror comedy is eyeing a solid second week as it continues to attract cinephiles in cinema halls.
Going by Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3's strong hold at the box office, the recent release is likely to topple Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Golmaal Again in the list of highest-grossing horror comedies of Bollywood. Kartik's latest film will soon surpass the all-time box office collections of Anees Bazmee's 2022 helmer and Rohit Shetty's 2017 directorial. If Kartik and Triptii's clean-hit film continues to perform well in the second week, it will also go past Rs 225 crore in India. Stree 2 will remain on top of the list.
