Finally, there is a movie that has revitalized Bollywood and how. Already, the trending numbers of this Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 are indicating its success – it’s looking like an easy victory on all fronts for this new film. Opening day at Rs. 14.11 crores exceeded expectations while the weekend was just as successful with its opening at Rs. 50 crore (this includes money made on Saturday/Friday). What makes this movie even more special though was when it surpassed Rs 20 crore yesterday – making it one of those films you’ll never forget being associated with!
This was also the first time Kartik Aaryan had enjoyed a Rs. 20 crore + day, evidence of his strong appeal among family audiences. While he had managed to do so on Sunday – the day wasn’t too far away when he would manage to do that on the first day itself! Would that require a holiday, to begin with? Or would it happen on a non-holiday itself? Well, we’d just have to wait until Shahzada – his upcoming big ticket film – is released later this year for an answer. But all said and done, the film will undoubtedly take off much better than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 did.
The film made an additional Rs. 23.51 crores on Sunday, bringing its total to over Rs. 55 crores. There was a lot of momentum gained so far which looks promising for the upcoming days too; especially considering the chances are high for it to reach a figure close to double digits in just one day itself! The Anees Bazmee-directed flick will surely prove itself as a BIG success when its final tally is revealed sometime later this month – though it isn’t hard for anyone who has seen it to tell what kind of a box office hit this truly is!
