The Kartik Aaryan starrer Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 released five weeks ago and since then, there has been no stopping the film at the box office. After opening on a good note, the Anees Bazmee directorial fast went past the Rs. 100 crore and Rs. 150 crore mark. Now, after five weeks the Bhushan Kumar – Murad Khetani production has managed to rake in Rs, 184.32 crore, and continues to inch closer to the Rs. 200 crore mark.
While the film continues its box office run in the domestic market, overseas as well, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has met with resounding success. In fact, among Kartik Aaryan’s releases till date, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 which has raked in USD 5.50 million stands as the actor’s most successful release in this market. When compared to his previous releases the overseas business of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 far overshadows Kartik’s other releases like Luka Chuppi which collected USD 2.40 million, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety which collected USD 2.02 million, Pati Patni Aur Woh which collected USD 2 million, and Love Aaj Kal which had collected USD 1.55 million.
With Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 setting a new box office benchmark for Kartik Aaryan in the overseas markets, what stands out is the fact that the actor has managed to carve a niche for himself. Going forward with four releases viz. Shehzada, Captain India, Freddy and Satyanarayan Ki Katha in the pipeline, the young actor still has a long way ahead.
