Komal Nahta clarified that both films are competing neck-to-neck, and it's a 'rare thing' that has happened. "Singham Again is leading marginally from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. This is because it has got more screens than Kartik's films. But both movies are performing extremely well, and it will be a bumper Diwali for Bollywood," he said.
Ramesh Bala also said that due to Rohit Shetty's popularity, with Ajay Devgn and cameos of other bigger stars, Singham will have an upper hand as compared to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in the south. "Due to Chennai Express, Rohit has a fanbase here (in the south) and it also has elements from Ramayana, so being an emotionally-charged actioner, Singham Again races ahead, but Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is not lacking behind."
