Rohit Shetty’s much-awaited and most-anticipated film film Singham Again has finally hit the theatres on Friday. The film starring Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone clashed with Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 at box office.
As per Sacilk.com, the film has collected Rs 31.15 Cr in India in all languages. While Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 earned around 25.87 Cr India net on its first day.
Singham Again is the third installment in the Singham series and the fifth film in Rohit Shetty's Cop Universe, which includes Singham, Singham Returns, Simmba, and Sooryavanshi. The movie boasts an impressive cast featuring Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Tiger Shroff, and Jackie Shroff.
On Thursday, DNA India spoke with trade analysts to get insights on the box office clash. Experts Komal Nahta and Ramesh Bala both indicated that Singham Again is expected to perform better than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
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."
