Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan recently made headlines by commenting on the box office clash between Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again and Anees Bazmee’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. Aamir reportedly told Bazmee, “Unhone Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 se takkar leke galti kar di,” referring to the fierce competition between the two big-budget releases.
Despite the rivalry, the two films have performed remarkably well, with their box office collections nearly neck-and-neck after 17 days. Here’s a detailed comparison of their earnings:
Total Earnings
- Singham Again: ₹222.50 crore
- Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: ₹220.50 crore
Analysis: A Close Contest
While Singham Again initially led the race with a higher opening and early momentum, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has steadily closed the gap, particularly during the second week. The Anees Bazmee-directed horror-comedy saw stronger holds on weekdays and experienced an upward trend in collections during the second weekend, owing to positive word-of-mouth and family-friendly appeal.
Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again, on the other hand, has continued to draw crowds with its action-packed narrative and star-studded cast, led by Ajay Devgn. However, its collections have seen a sharper decline over time compared to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Aamir’s Remark
Aamir Khan’s statement about the clash suggests that he believes Singham Again underestimated Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s potential to capture audiences. Given the latter’s strong recovery and near-identical total collections, Aamir’s comment highlights how even big-budget action films can face tough competition from content-driven, genre-specific movies.
Conclusion
With both films earning over ₹220 crore, the clash between Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 underscores the thriving nature of Bollywood’s box office. While Singham Again maintains a slight edge, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has proven to be a worthy contender, solidifying its place as one of the most successful horror-comedies in Indian cinema. Fans and industry watchers alike eagerly await the next milestones for both films.
