Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 completed three years of its blockbuster release, marking a milestone not just for the film but for the entire Bollywood industry. The film’s phenomenal success played a pivotal role in reviving theatres and reconnecting audiences with the magic of cinema after the pandemic’s long pause.
Reflecting on the film’s unprecedented success, Kartik Aaryan had said once “It feels really good. I didn’t know that we will be able to revive the industry. We did hope the film will do well. To be honest we expected it will cross Rs 100 crore. We never thought it will cross Rs 200 crore mark. It is above our expectations.”
The charm of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 was its universal appeal. Kartik added, “We were confident that family audience will enjoy it as it is an entertaining film. What amazed me was the reaction of kids, like three-year-old children are singing ‘Hare Ram…’. It all feels unreal. We never thought it will penetrate so much.”
The film’s mix of horror, comedy, and Kartik’s vibrant portrayal of Rooh Baba struck a chord with audiences across generations. It not only brought back the thrill of big-screen experiences but also filled theatres with laughter and excitement, proving Kartik’s box office magnetism and instinct for choosing the right scripts.
Looking ahead, Kartik Aaryan’s upcoming projects promise to continue this momentum. He will soon be seen in the intense musical love story with Anurag Basu, the romantic ventures Tu Meri Main Tera and Main Tera Tu Meri, and the grand fantasy spectacle Naagzilla under Karan Johar’s banner.
As Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 celebrates its third anniversary, Kartik remains a shining beacon of hope and energy for Bollywood’s new era, completing 14 years in the industry.
