Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 box office collection day 4: Between Rooh Baba and Manjulika, it is the box office which seems to be ultimately winning. The Kartik Aaryan-starrer passed the most important test of all at the box office - the Monday test. After crossing the 100-crore mark over the weekend, the film managed to avoid a big dip in collections on its first Monday.

The latest report on Sacnilk states that the film has seen the expected dip in collections on its first Monday. On its fourth day, the Anees Bazmee directorial minted 17.5 crore, a less than 50% drop from its Sunday collections. On its opening day, the film has a bumper collection of 35.5 crore, which saw a rise on Saturday, with 37 crore. Day 3, which was a Sunday, saw a slight dip in collections, with 33.5 crore.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa had an overall 37.45 percent Hindi occupancy on Monday, states the report. An encouraging sign for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was that its Monday earnings were the same as Singham Again, the other big release of the weekend. So far, Singham Again had been marginally ahead but Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 closed that gap on Monday.

More details

Bhool Bhulaiyaa is the third instalment of the horror comedy franchise kickstarted by Priyadarshan in 2007. The blockbuster starred Akshay Kumar in the lead role of a ghostbuster.
