Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 set to be a blockbuster, recovers over 75 per cent of its cost

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is likely to enter the Rs 200 crore-club by the end of its second weekend at the box office. The film has already recovered over 75 per cent of its budget, and considering its smooth run for at least a month, it is safe to say that it is eyeing blockbuster status at the ticket window.

In Short

• Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 collected Rs 123.50 crore in 4 days in India
• The film recovered 75 per cent of the Rs 150 crore budget
• While it competed with Singham Again, the film remained largely unaffected

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has entered its first week at the box office. The Anees Bazmee-directorial showed solid growth in its first weekend and didn't show any major drop in its Monday business as well. The horror-comedy is reportedly made on a budget of Rs 150 crore and has already recovered over 75 per cent of its cost.

After its four days at the domestic ticket window, the film earned Rs 123.50 crore nett, with around Rs 17.50 crore nett coming from Monday alone, reported the trade website Sacnilk. Headlined by Kartik Aaryan, the film is now looking at achieving blockbuster status at the box office.

For any film to achieve blockbuster status, it has to do at least 200 per cent of its budget, and that seems like a cakewalk for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 right now.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 faced a clash with Singham Again, but that didn't affect its performance much. The film has got almost a month-long window to run smoothly at the box office before any other major Hindi film hits the screens. This means the horror-comedy is eyeing to go past Rs 300 crore nett in its long-time run. Of course, it's too soon to ascertain its final business at the box office, but at the current speed, it is only looking at setting some new benchmarks.

The film will smoothly enter the Rs 200 crore-club by the end of its second weekend at the box office. Once it does that, it will have fallen into a safe zone with anything above that being counted as profit.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is being appreciated for its unexpected climax and music. The film also features Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, Triptii Dimri, Sanjay Mishra and Rajpal Yadav, among others in important roles.
