Kartik Aaryan can well rejoice, and relax. He was attached to Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 for a couple of years now and the pandemic meant that the plans for release were delayed. However, it has all turned out to be superb with him, what with the film having an uninterrupted run in the second week as well. The film almost scored a 50, what with Rs. 49.70 crores coming in, which is an amazing number since so many biggies have failed to score even half of that in their lifetime run this year.
The actor has truly entered the big league now as the super success of the film lends a lot of confidence to the Hindi film industry in general, which is actually an even greater achievement than just scoring a hit for yourself when the box office is going through a winning run. Here, the industry was in the doldrums and all eyes were on which film would emerge as an even semi-decent success, let aside be a hit, and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 comes and changes it all.
The film’s success is also a huge testimony of how film directors who stay attached to their Indian roots have a far greater chance of scoring a biggie at the box office. That’s how Anees Bazmee has been over the years and with Rs. 141.75 crores already in there and a lot more to come, the man is here to stay for long.
