It has crossed the total collection (Rs 129.10 crore) of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Gangubai Kathiawadi. With Rs 4.85 crore added to its kitty on Tuesday, the box office collection of the Kartik Aaryan-starrer currently stands at Rs 133.09 crore.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh has shared that the Anees Bazmee directorial is doing good business even on the weekdays. He wrote on Twitter, “#BhoolBhulaiyaa2 continues to trend extremely well on weekdays… Crosses *lifetime biz* of #GangubaiKathiawadi… Second highest grossing #Hindi film, after #TKF… [Week 2] Fri 6.52 cr, Sat 11.35 cr, Sun 12.77 cr, Mon 5.55 cr, Tue 4.85 cr. Total: ₹ 133.09 cr. #India biz.” Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is expected to hit Rs 150 crore by the end of this week. The film could end its run at the theaters with a collection of Rs 175 crore.
The success of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has brought some breather to the Hindi film industry, which has had a tough year in terms of box office performance until now. It has been struggling to keep up with the competition it has been facing from the south film industry which has already given three blockbuster hits in KGF Chapter 2, RRR, and Pushpa: The Rise.
