Karthik Aryan’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ and Ajay Devgan’s ‘Singham Again’ are two such films which are making the most headlines these days. And it is natural to be in the headlines, because both these films are releasing on the same day on 1st November. This is the biggest clash of this year.
The makers of both the films are making every possible effort to make their respective pictures a hit. However, there are some points which indicate that ‘Singham Again’ is heavier than Karthik’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. Let us look at those points.
starcast
The first point is starcast. While Trupti Dimri, Madhuri Dixit and Vidya Balan are with Kartik in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, directed by Anees Bazmee, director Rohit Shetty has created an entire army of stars in ‘Singham Again’. Along with Ajay, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Jackie Shroff, Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh are in this picture. Besides, Salman Khan is also doing a cameo.
Budget
Even in terms of budget, Ajay’s film is ahead of Karthik’s film. According to reports, the makers have spent Rs 350 crore in making ‘Singham Again’, while the cost of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is Rs 150 crore.
Famous Franchise
The popularity of both the franchises ‘Singham’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ is very strong. But if comparison is made between days, ‘Singham’ franchise is more famous. The biggest reason behind this is Ajay Devgan’s stardom and his appearance as Bajirao Singham in every film. However, Karthik’s stardom is less compared to Ajay. And his character is not as strong as Bajirao. In such a situation, ‘Singham’ is ahead of ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa’ in terms of popularity.
trend of action films
The popularity of action films has increased in the last few years. And nowadays people like action-packed films a lot. We have many films for proof, from ‘Pathan’ to ‘Jawaan’, ‘Animal’ and ‘Kalki 2898 AD’. There is going to be a lot of action in ‘Singham Again’, whereas ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is a horror comedy genre film. Yes, it cannot be denied at all that Shraddha Kapoor’s ‘Stree 2’ collected more than Rs 800 crore. But the entire action fraternity cannot be competed with this one film.
The advantage of being a universe film
‘Singham Again’ is Rohit Shetty’s cop universe film. The previous two parts of this film, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Sooryavanshi’ and Ranveer Singh’s ‘Simmba’ are part of this universe. Nowadays, Universe films also have dominance. When characters from two-three films are combined and shown together, people like it very much. For example, YRF has a spy universe. All three parts of ‘Tiger’, Hrithik Roshan’s ‘War’ and Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Pathan’ are part of this universe. All these films made great money. Another example is Maddock Supernatural Universe. This universe includes Shraddha’s ‘Stree’, Varun Dhawan’s ‘Bhediya’ and Abhay Verma’s ‘Munjya’. Being a film of one universe, there is a huge craze for all these pictures among the people. In such a situation, ‘Singham Again’ can also get the benefit of being in the universe.
