BOLLYWOOD
Diwali 2024 will set an example for Indian cinema by showing that two movies of different genres can coexist and break box office records.
This year's Diwali has become an example in Bollywood. Two movies of different genres and highly-anticipated sequels clashed on the same day, but both took a monstrous start at the box office, making new and breaking old box office records. Kartik Aryan's horror-comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Ajay Devgn's actioner Singham Again were released on November 1, and they both celebrated Diwali with a bang.
Despite getting mixed reviews, both films, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again earned huge because of the audience support. Industry tracker portal Sacnilk shared the Day 1 box office collection of both films. And to much relief, BB3 and Singham 3 have brought Rs 79 crores collectively. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned Rs 35.50 crores opening, despite getting fewer screens than Singham. On the other side, Ajay's Singham led the Diwali race by earning Rs 10 crores more than Kartik's film and earned Rs 43.50 crores. For the unversed, Singham Again's advance booking opened a day later than BB3, yet the film performed exceedingly well thanks to positive word of mouth, Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn's impressive track record, and the brand Singham.
