On its release day, Singham Again grossed ₹43.5 crore, surpassing Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’s first-day collection of ₹35.5 crore. This robust start gave Singham Again a strong foothold, setting the pace for the following days.
On the second day, Singham Again saw a slight dip, collecting ₹42.5 crore, a 2.3% decrease, yet still outperformed Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, which earned ₹37 crore, experiencing a modest 4.23% rise from its opening day.

Overall, Singham 3 accumulated a total of ₹153.25 crore net in the domestic market across five days, outshining Bhulaiyaa 3, which managed ₹137 crore net in India.
At the worldwide box office, Singham Again became the fourth Bollywood film in 2024 to enter the 200-crore club after Fighter, Shaitaan and Stree 2. The Ajay Devgn-starrer reached the milestone in just four days. Its global collections stood at ₹213 crore after four days, with ₹45 crore coming from overseas.
Singham Again is Ajay Devgn’s 6th film to enter the 200-crore club worldwide, joining hits like Tanhaji and Drishyam 2.
With ₹39 crore from the overseas market, Kartik Aaryan’s horror comedy minted ₹187.75 crore worldwide in four days.
Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, directed by Bollywood veteran Anees Bazmee, was made for ₹150 crore while Singham Again was made with around ₹375 crore, as per media reports. That’s exactly why Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is placed commercially in a much better position.
