Trade experts predict lifetime collections of Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3: "BB3 can go beyond 275 crores with an open run until December 5"

The Diwali releases – Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 – are running successfully in cinemas for more than two weeks. We spoke to trade experts to find out more about it.

When asked about where these films would go from here on and the lifetime earnings, trade veteran Taran Adarsh said, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 has clearly raced ahead of Singham Again, especially if you look at the second-week trend. That is because of the acceptability, the music, casting and the horror-comedy genre. There was a lot of fresh appeal. It balances all the factors beautifully, be it horror, comedy, cast, music etc. and it comes out as a very good package. Hence, it has found acceptance from families and kids.”

As for lifetime collections, he said, “It’s a bit too early. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 can touch 275 crores. It can go beyond that as well. It has an open run until December 5 and the new releases are not looking favourable. Unless Karan Arjun manages to attract the audience in hordes as it’s a pure masala entertainer.”

Trade analyst Atul Mohan agreed, “With no major release, by default, both films will have a run until the release of Pushpa 2 on December 5. Both might reach Rs. 250 crores slowly and steadily.”

He also felt that one can’t underestimate the re-release of Shah Rukh Khan-Salman Khan starrer Karan Arjun, “You never know. It’s a big film. The new generation has not seen it in cinemas. Although I have seen it in cinemas 2-3 times, I still want to see it. Hence, it may surprise.”

Girish Johar, producer and film business analyst, opined, “Singham Again has not met the expectations. The cost of course was high but the kind of cast it had, much more was expected from the film. So, it failed to deliver in terms of the content. On the other hand, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 can cross the Rs. 250 crores mark.”

Film exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi stated, “With Kanguva not having done as much as we were hoping for, both the films will have long legs and have the potential to go past the Rs. 250 crores mark.”

Bollywood power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh have added another chapter to their real estate portfolio. The duo has leased a lavish apartment in Mumbai’s upscale Beau Monde Towers Co-operative Housing Society Ltd, located in the prime locality of Prabhadevi. The apartment comes with a hefty monthly rent of Rs 7 lakhs.

A Glimpse of the New Apartment As per a report by Square Yards, the leased property boasts a built-up area of 3,245 sq. ft. and a carpet area of 2,319.50 sq. ft., offering ample space for their growing family. With three dedicated car parking spaces, the apartment is part of a premium residential project by the Ashwin Sheth Group.

The lease agreement, registered in November 2024, spans 36 months. The rent is structured to increase from Rs 7 lakhs for the first 18 months to Rs 7.35 lakhs for the remaining period. The couple also deposited Rs 21 lakhs as an initial security amount.

Ashneer Grover RESPONDS to Salman Khan’s criticism on Bigg Boss 18: “All my statements are true”

Ashneer Grover, co-founder of BharatPe and a former judge on Shark Tank India, recently appeared as a guest on the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 18. During the episode, host Salman Khan confronted Grover over past comments made about the actor. While Grover apologised to Khan during the show, he later addressed the incident in a lengthy post on social media.

Ashneer’s Response: “All My Statements Are True” Taking to social media, Grover shared a photo with Salman Khan and wrote, “I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss weekend ka vaar! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP/viewership. BTW all of my statements below are TRUE.”

Grover further clarified that he never made any demeaning remarks about Salman and has always admired his sense of self and business acumen. “The invite for coming as guest on Bigg Boss was not ‘unnamed’—just like the cheque for the same ;) And finally I’ve a pic with him—which I didn’t earlier,” he added.

I hope you enjoyed the Bigg Boss weekend ka vaar ! I had good fun. And I am sure the particular episode got great TRP / viewership. BTW all of statements below are TRUE: - Salman is a great host & actor - Salman knows what works on Bigg Boss - I’ve always praised Salman for his… pic.twitter.com/HH0iOzzZY3

— Ashneer Grover (@Ashneer_Grover) November 18, 2024

The Backstory: BharatPe’s Association with Salman Khan Salman Khan was previously hired as a brand ambassador for BharatPe when Grover was associated with the fintech company. Grover had shared anecdotes about working with Salman, including one where he negotiated Khan’s fee for an advertisement.

“Salman’s team initially demanded Rs. 7.5 crore, which I couldn’t afford. After negotiations, the fee was reduced to Rs. 4.5 crore,” Grover had revealed during a session at Lovely Professional University in 2022.

Another incident, which Grover mentioned on the Vagehra Vagehra podcast, involved Salman refusing to take a photo with him. Grover humorously recalled, “I sat with him for three hours, and then his manager said Salman doesn’t like clicking photos. I said, fine, I won’t insist.”

However, the recent appearance on Bigg Boss 18 gave Grover the chance to click a long-awaited photo with the Bollywood superstar.

While Salman Khan criticised Grover during the episode, it appears the two have resolved their differences, with Grover appreciating Khan’s contribution to BharatPe’s campaigns.

Madhuri Dixit reflects on moving abroad after marriage: “I never felt like I was leaving the public eye”

Madhuri Dixit shocked many by stepping away from acting at the height of her career to get married. In 1999, she tied the knot with Dr. Shriram Nene and relocated to Colorado, where they lived a quiet life away from the spotlight for several years. In 2011, the family, including their two sons, Arin and Ryan, returned to India. Recently, Madhuri, who appeared in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, shared her thoughts on moving abroad after marriage, saying she didn’t miss anything about her earlier life.

In an interview with Galatta India, Madhuri Dixit shared, “I was very happy because for me, the paraphernalia was not very important to me. I loved what I do. I love acting, dancing and everything to do with my profession. Anything else is just bonus like people considering you as a star. But I haven’t ever felt that way about me. So for me, it was never like, ‘Oh my god, I am going away from the public eye. I am getting married at the peak of my career.’ I never thought of it that way.”

She further explained, “I just thought I have met the right person for me. This is the man I want to marry and I am going to get married to this guy because everybody dreams for themselves. For me, it was like having a house, a husband, having family, and kids. I love kids. So, having kids was big part of that dream.”

The Saajan star shared, “When people say, ‘Oh, you were away, and didn’t you miss?’, I be like, ‘No, I didn’t miss because I was living my dream.”

Dr. Shriram Nene, speaking to Ranveer Allahbadia about his marriage to Madhuri Dixit, said, “I don’t know her like that (superstar). She is my wife and partner, and my encouragement to people is be what you always wanted to be and support the people with you. We are partners in a marriage where we look out for each other forever. If you develop that kind of relationship, it doesn’t matter what they did. I never knew her past history and she never knew mine. We came from very different worlds yet similar. Like sub-region Maharashtra, same kind of language and background. Neither of us thought that this would happen. I would say this is the most amazing thing in my life.”

On the work front, Madhuri Dixit appeared in films such as Pukar, Gaja Gamini, Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke, Lajja, Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Devdas, and Aaja Nachle. She made a notable comeback with a special song in Ranbir Kapoor's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and went on to star in various Hindi and Marathi films. Additionally, she served as a judge on several reality TV shows, including Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
