Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again have scored excellent numbers combined which will go over 65 crore nett between them which is the highest opening day collection ever but its come for two films. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has scored an excellent first day with collections in the 30-31 (early estimates) crore nett range and has done very well all over and fantastic in some circuits.

Singham Again is looking to be around 36-37 (early estimates) crore nett and is also is a very good collection though it will not be seen like that as its a huge film and needs higher first day numbers but eventually you can only do what the box office allows you to do and a collection of 45 or 50 crore nett was never on with a clash against another major release.

Singham Again has scored fantastic collections in Gujarat and here collections are as they should be for a huge film like Singham Again but other areas are not as strong. It is very good in Maharashtra but with the Singham brand it could have been better. The rest of the country is good outside East Punjab and West Bengal which have seen very average collections.

The problem for the film is that outside Maharashtra / Gujarat the competition which is a much smaller film has given it a good fight and even leads in places. Singham Again had opened lower than Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 in Delhi / UP but a good push in UP will enable to edge past in the circuit though by a minimal margin. But it could not afford to be as close as this in a huge circuit like Delhi / UP. It needed that Mumbai circuit margin at least in the UP side which has not come. The film has ground to cover and remains to be seen where it goes from here.

Bhool Bhuliyaa 3 is practically a HIT on its opening day number itself as 30 crore nett is huge for the film and its not even about trending strongly or anything. The film has given huge competition to Singham Again in North India and leads in many centres and here some places Diwali Puja was today so the film can hold steady tomorrow as these circuits may not drop. West Bengal also it has a comfortable lead over Singham Again.

Overall a good start to Diwali though the clash means its about sustaining the momentum as the colelctiosn are shared.
