As Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is released on 3200 screens in the domestic market only, which is far more than Dhaakad’s 2000+ screens. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 is releasing worldwide on 3829 screens. overseas release 629 screens.
Box Office Collection
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has the potential to bring the box office back into the life, as the film has received rave reviews, amazing advances, over 3k screens, Bhool Bhulaiyaa brand, hit music, and Kartik and Kiara’s popularity among youth which could be a major factor to pull the audience towards cinema halls. Kartik starrer has more demand in the mass market.
As per the early reports, it has accumulated in the range of Rs 14 to Rs 15 Cr, fruther the final collections will all depend on how much the film had raked in from the single screen and nonnational chains.
