As is always the case with big films, there is no decision on the count of screens allotted to the big releases, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
In terms of the opening day, Rohit Shetty's film may take the lead since he has assembled a big star cast and each one will bring their own fanbase. On the other hand, the Kartik Aaryan-starrer will entice an audience of its own, since, as a franchise, Bhool Bhulaiyaa has done quite well.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 fails to invoke any excitement, despite having two immensely watchable stars Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan at its centre, observes Mayur Sanap.
Diwali releases Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 scored big and entered the Rs 200 Crore (Rs 2 billion) Club before the close of the second weekend.
Between the two films, more than Rs 225 crore (Rs 2.25 billion) comfortably came in the first three days itself.
