Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Singham Again - the big Bollywood Diwali releases this year, have entered their third weekend at the box office. Both films have performed well so far, but it's the Kartik Aaryan-starrer which seems to have taken an instant lead in the third weekend. At least, that's what the numbers suggest.

On its second Thursday, the Anees Bazmee-directorial collected Rs 4.15 crore, and on the third Friday, it earned Rs 4 crore nett in India, taking the 15-day total to Rs 220.25 crore nett. This was strikingly more than what the Rohit Shetty-directorial collected this week. On its second Thursday, the action drama minted Rs 3 crore, and on the third Friday, it earned Rs 2.75 crore, taking the total of 15 days to Rs 223.25 crore nett in India,

Both Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 seem unfazed by the new Tamil pan-India release, Kanguva, at the ticket window. The Suriya-starrer was released this weekend amid a great buzz, and was expected to perform well even in the Hindi market. However, mixed reviews, especially the criticism around its loud music, deterred the audience's spirit and the same was reflected in its numbers.

The film might just pick up on Saturday and Sunday. However, that doesn't seem to be affecting the smooth run of the horror-comedy and the cop film. These films have got almost half a month to perform smoothly at the box office, until Pushpa 2: The Rule hits the screens on December 5 and creates havoc at the ticket window.
