This Diwali promises a high-stakes clash between Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Ajay Devgn’s multi-starrer Singham Again, both hitting screens on November 1. While the battle for screen allocation continues between the two films, the first-day advance booking numbers for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 have been revealed. According to Scanilk, the Kartik Aaryan-starrer has sold 4,420 tickets in advance bookings, amassing Rs 12.83 lakh at the box office so far, with block seats excluded from this data. Singham Again advance booking is yet to open.

In major cities, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is performing steadily. In the Delhi NCR area, where the film has secured 100 shows, it has generated Rs 1.8 lakh in advance bookings. Mumbai follows closely with Rs 2.08 lakh from 72 screens, while Ahmedabad recorded Rs 61 K across 101 shows. Despite the fierce competition from Singham Again, it remains too early to predict which film will dominate box office earnings on day one.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh recently took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the ongoing dispute over screen allocation and how he sees ‘no solution in sight.’ He wrote, “‘SINGHAM AGAIN’ VS ‘BHOOL BHULAIYAA 3’: SUSPENSE CONTINUES… Genuinely hope the ongoing tussle [screen *and* show allocation] gets resolved soon… No solution in sight yet. #SinghamAgain | #BhoolBhulaiyaa3 | #Diwali2024.”

Last week, T-Series, the production house behind Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, has filed a petition with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), alleging unfair practices by the team behind Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again. T-Series has requested the CCI’s intervention, seeking a fair distribution of screens and proposing an equal 50-50 percent split between Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again.

Apart from Kartik Aaryan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 also stars Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri in prominent roles. It is directed by Anees Bazmee.
