Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 Divides Audiences After Netflix Debut Following Box Office Success

The Kartik Aaryan-led horror-comedy, featuring Vidya Balan and Madhuri Dixit, has become one of 2024’s top-grossing films but received varied reactions after its OTT release.

Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 premiered on Netflix on December 27, 2024, following its theatrical release on November 1 during the Diwali weekend.
The film grossed over ₹417 crore globally, making it the fifth highest-grossing Indian film of 2024 and Kartik Aaryan's biggest career opener.
While many praised the visuals, performances, and nostalgic elements like Vidya Balan’s return as Manjulika, others criticized the film for lackluster storytelling and repetitive themes.
Singer Goldboy, known for his work in Kartik Aaryan’s Luka Chuppi, called it the “worst movie” in a social media post, reflecting disappointment from some viewers.
Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film features a star-studded cast including Kartik Aaryan, Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit, and Triptii Dimri, blending horror and comedy in a Kolkata-based storyline.
