This Diwali, Bollywood is keeping its hopes on Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, both releasing on November 1.

With advance bookings already opened for Kartik Aaryan's horror-comedy, Ajay Devgn's action thriller is still waiting for its turn.

The competition is fierce, as both films vie for screen space and audience attention, a common scenario during festive seasons in Bollywood.

One trade analyst tweeted, "I was talking to many theatre owners, and they have decided to give 50% of the shows to each film, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3! All the theatre owners told me that they can't go against the biggest distributor, Anil Thadani, who is also releasing Pushpa 2."

He added, "All the theatre owners mentioned that they can't oppose Anil Thadani, the biggest distributor, who is releasing Pushpa 2 as well. However, PVR and Inox might allocate more screens to Singham Again."

If you remember, Singham Again was originally set to clash with Pushpa 2 on Independence Day 2024. However, fearing the clash, Singham Again was pushed ahead. Meanwhile, Pushpa 2 also faced delays and was postponed to December.

Analyzing the situation, it seems that Singham Again is still poised to clash indirectly with Pushpa 2 in the guise of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

Anil Thadani is effectively positioning Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 against Singham Again under the shadow of Pushpa 2.
