According to industry insider Nishit Shaw, Bhool Bhulaiya 3 sparked interest among moviegoers, selling a staggering 85,000 tickets across chains across the country. In stiff competition, Singham Again is close behind with 82,000 tickets sold. Being a police drama—historically a commercial success—Singam Again is widely expected to lead. But the current pre-registration trend surprised many.

Shah Rukh Khan’s feature-rich film continues to break records by selling a staggering 371,000 advance tickets alone.
