Day 4 box office collection for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2: Kartik Aaryan’s horror comedy mints 66 crore, kicking off the week strong
Even as a new week begins, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 continues to hold its ground. After an impressive weekend, the film passed the litmus test on Monday, with a double-digit collection of around 10.50 crore. The film is a standalone sequel to the 2007 hit starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan and stars Kartik Aaryan, Kiara Advani, and Tabu.
In its first four days of release, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 made around 66 crore. According to Boxofficeindia.com, the film earned between Rs. 10 and Rs. 10.50 crore on Monday. Kartik’s biggest weekend in his film career was the film’s 56 crore weekend gross.
At the box office, Kartik and Kiara’s horror comedy clashed with Kangana Ranaut’s action spy thriller Dhaakad. The latter flopped at the box office, grossing less than a crore in its first weekend. On the other hand, Kangana congratulated Kartik and Kiara on the success of their film on Instagram.
On their first day, Bhool Bhulaiya 2 and Dhaakad opened in approximately 3,200 and 2,200 screens, respectively, across the country. “There was a need and demand in the audience for Bhool Bhulaiya 2 but nothing for Dhaakad,” a trade source told PTI. However, for Dhaakad, about a quarter of the screens have been removed.” In many places, Dhaakad shows have been reduced or cancelled, according to the source.
“To do the kind of films that I need to do, it’s important to deliver with numbers and not just reviews,” Kartik told PTI ahead of the release of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2. The main driving force is numbers. I’m making movies for the public, not for home viewing. It’s about community viewing, and everyone should have a good time.”
Priyadarshan directed the 2007 psychological horror comedy starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, but Anees Bazmee directed the 2022 film in his own style.

Food blogger attacked by Swara Bhasker for boasting about being a vegetarian on Twitter: “Smug self-righteousness”
In response to food blogger Nalini Unagar’s “proud to be a vegetarian” tweet, actor Swara Bhasker attacked Unagar. On Sunday, Nalini posted a photo of her lunch at X. It included a paneer dish and fried rice.
What was said by the food blogger?
Nalini shared the picture and added, “I’m happy to be a vegetarian. There are no more tears, cruelty, or guilt on my platter.”
This is Swara’s response.
In response, Swara penned, “To be honest… I find vegetarians’ arrogant self-righteousness to be incomprehensible. Denying the calf its mother’s milk, forcing cows to become pregnant, ripping them from their calves, and taking their milk are the main components of your diet.”
Furthermore, she said, “You eat root vegetables? That eliminates the entire plant! Just because it’s Bakr Eid, don’t stress about virtue signalling (folded hands emojis). June 16–17 is when Bakr Eid, or Eid al-Adha, is observed.
Swara just had her Eid celebration.
A few months after celebrating Eid al-Fitr, Swara posted a tweet. She celebrated the occasion with her daughter Raabiyaa and spouse Fahad Ahmad. On her Instagram Stories, Swara posted snippets of her Eid festivities. Swara and Raabiyaa were shown in one of the stories pointing at the Eid ka Chaand. Another photo shows Swara, her daughter, and Fahad posing as a family. Fahad is Muslim, but Swara is Hindu.
When Swara discussed the cultures of her and Fahad
Swara performed a chhathi puja for Raabiyaa the previous year. She revealed tidbits from the festivities and reported discovering shared cultural experiences with Fahad’s family. “The child is a mish mash of the mish mash we are,” Swara had wrote. She therefore has 62.5% UP, 12.5% Bihar, and 25% Andhra. Furthermore, I support representation and am always up for a celebration! Furthermore, since our wedding, we’ve learned that Muslims and Hindus in North India have common cultural customs, which strengthens my conviction that, despite our variety, love and joy will always find a language.”
“Chhathhi, or the sixth day of a child’s birth, is celebrated throughout UP Bihar. Mom and kid dress in the colour of turmeric or haldi, and aunts or bua put kaajal on the child and parents to protect them from ‘nazar,’ or the evil eye! I’m performing a well-known “sohar”—celebration songs for new babies. Although sohars are often used to celebrate newborn boys, I customised it for a newborn girl—oh! And although sisters and aunts sing the sohars, mothers don’t, so I thought, “Why not?” Dholak aa gaya hai! Thank you to @manisha2967 for the Chhathhi lesson and the beautiful singing I was able to do, and to Bhanu ji @partapsinghb11 for the dholak that helped make my singing pleasant.
