Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, starring Kartik Aaryan in the lead role along with Triptii Dimri, Vidya Balan, and Madhuri Dixit, is set to hit the screens very soon. The much-awaited horror-comedy has yet to open its full-fledged advance in India, though the makers have opened pre-sales in a few non-national chains. Here’s how it is doing in the limited advance booking.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Sells 5500 Tickets In Rajhans; 3700 Tickets In MovieMax

The Anees Bazmee-directed movie has sold around 5500 tickets in Rajhans cinema chains with blocked seats while 3700 tickets in the MovieMax chain as of 11 PM on Monday, October 28. The movie still has 3 days in the bank to gather momentum and record a healthy number before its release. For the record, the advance booking of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 was opened on Sunday afternoon in a few non-national chains. 

The total admits, including the above-mentioned cinema chains, currently stand at 8700. It will be interesting to see how the horror-comedy trend in the next couple of days.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Records 40K Admits On Book My Show; Advances Are Erratic

The online ticket booking website Book My Show has recorded around 40k admits till now. Though, it is very inconclusive. Currently, the advance bookings of the Kartik Aaryan movie are erratic; thus, we can’t really know how good or bad the advances are. We have to wait a couple of days to get a clearer picture of where it’s heading. 

Moreover, we will get a concrete idea about its opening day once the makers decide to open the advances in the top three national chains- PVR Inox and Cinepolis. For now, the stakeholders are putting all energies into scoring maximum in the screen division against its rival release, Singham Again. 

For the uninitiated, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 will be released on November 1st, clashing with Rohit Shetty-Ajay Devgn’s highly anticipated movie, Singham Again.

The release of Singham Again, the latest installment in Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe, is just around the corner. The trailer, which was released earlier, was filled with various references to Ramayana. It certainly managed to create a lot of intrigue amongst the audience. In this piece, let’s decode the Ramayana connection in the Ajay Devgn starrer and see how it could impact this Diwali release.

Just like Lord Rama did for Mata Sita in Ramayana, Ajay Devgn’s Singham will go to great lengths to save Kareena Kapoor’s Avni in the movie. Arjun Kapoor’s villain is inspired by Ravana. Tiger Shroff, who plays Satya, is shown worshiping Singham just like Lakshmana did to Rama. Ranveer Singh is shown as Lord Hanuman, while Akshay Kumar is Garuda.

I feel like the Ramayana references aren’t just superficial but an important part of the story as Ajay’s character has to follow the clues in the Hindu epic to rescue his wife. Apart from scenes like Ajay finding Kareena’s jewelry and Ranveer touching his feet, the references are also used in the songs and music. 

The latest song Jai Bajrangbali contains various scenes inspired by Lord Hanuman’s devotion to Rama. They have been used in a very detailed manner. For example, there is a shot of Ranveer Singh sitting on a coiled rope just like Hanuman on his coiled tail.
