Kartik Aaryan is gearing up to reprise his beloved role as Rooh Baba in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.’ This highly anticipated horror-comedy is set to hit theaters this Diwali, and the excitement surrounding its release is palpable. With significant expectations riding on it, this film could potentially push the actor past the coveted 500 crore mark in the post-Covid landscape. Read on for a comprehensive box office analysis.

‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is scheduled for release on November 1, 2024. Taking the reins from Akshay Kumar in the sequel, Kartik Aaryan received an overwhelmingly positive response for his performance, resulting in a blockbuster hit. The question now is whether he can maintain this momentum with the upcoming Diwali release.

Kartik Aaryan’s Box Office Journey (Post-Covid)

Over the past few years, Kartik has showcased a diverse range of projects. His first theatrical release post-pandemic, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, played a crucial role in revitalizing foot traffic in Indian cinemas. However, he hasn’t had a ‘hit’ since then.Here’s a look at Kartik Aaryan’s theatrical releases since the pandemic:

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022): 185.57 crores (Super-hit)
Shehzada (2023): 32.50 crores (Flop)
SatyaPrem Ki Katha (2023): 80.35 crores (Plus)
Chandu Champion (2024): 65.50 crores (Losing)

Closing in on the 500 Crore Milestone!
The total earnings from his last four releases amount to 363.92 crores, meaning Kartik needs approximately 136.08 crores more to reach the 500 crore milestone. With ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, this goal is very much within reach. The buzz is electric, and advance bookings are expected to be stellar. The stage is set; now it all hinges on audience reception.

Facing Off with Singham Again

One potential hurdle is the box office clash with ‘Singham Again.’ Directed by Rohit Shetty, this film features an ensemble cast that includes Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Arjun Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Tiger Shroff. This competition could make for a fierce battle for audiences, leaving little room for error for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.’
