Karthik Aryan, who won people’s hearts by delivering a very popular monologue in ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’, is now in everyone’s eyes. Karthik, who earned the title of ‘Bollywood Star’ after more than a decade of hard work, has created such an image of himself that now even big directors of the industry are considering his name for their big projects.
Now, this Diwali has given Karthik an opportunity that can take his journey in the industry to a new level. It has been two years since ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, which showed Karthik’s stardom to the audience, and now his next part ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is set to release in theatres. This film will release on November 1 on the occasion of Diwali.
Along with this, Ajay Devgan starrer ‘Singham Again’ from Rohit Shetty’s cop universe will crash into theatres. Due to the simultaneous release of two such important films, there is an atmosphere of strong competition between social media and the industry. Also, Karthik has a big opportunity hidden in this clash.
Clash can boost Karthik’s career
The Diwali clash has created a huge opportunity not only for ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ but also for Kartik Aryan’s career. If we look at the level of stardom in Bollywood, Karthik can be considered one of the most popular young stars right now. Regarding his entry into the industry and box office power, he has been counted in a group with Ayushmann Khurrana, Vicky Kaushal, Varun Dhawan, Tiger Shroff and Rajkummar Rao. But compared to the rest, Karthik is currently a stronger candidate to enter the club one level higher.
The three Khans, Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are among the top stars of Bollywood. Going by the speed and reliable manner with which Karthik has made a name for himself in the last decade, he is considered a sure contender for the top league in the coming times. ‘Singham Again’ will release before Karthik’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’. before the star power of ‘Ajay Devgan, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, Deepika Padukone, Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Kumar. Karthik’s film competes with a film filled with so many stars.
The problem that ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ faces is not that it has to leave ‘Singham Again’ behind at the box office. It just has to be a success according to your numbers. Even in the clash with a big film like ‘Singham Again’, Karthik’s film has a screen share of around 60:40, which is a great thing. If Karthik’s film takes off, it will boost his star power immensely. A direct message will be sent that films can work because of Karthik, audiences support him.
What is Karthik’s match record like?
Karthik’s films are yet to prove themselves at the box office with any major film. In 2019, Karthik’s film ‘Lukka Chuppi’ clashed with Sushant Singh Rajput’s film ‘Sonchiriya’. Sushant’s film was a film with a strong story, but it was not a spicy film that failed at the box office. Karthik’s film emerged as the winner in this clash.
That same year, another Karthik film ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ also premiered on Clash. With this, the Arjun Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon starrer film ‘Panipat’ was released in theatres. While Karthik’s film turned out to be a big hit, ‘Panipat’ turned out to be a big flop. In 2020, there was a clash between Kartik’s flop film ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and his ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ partner Divyendu Sharma’s ‘Shukranu’. This time ‘Shukranu’ was the film that was clearly not a favorite at the box office. Even though Kartik’s ‘Love Aaj Kal’ was a flop, it earned much more than ‘Shukranu’.
‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’, which increased Karthik’s level of stardom overnight, also made it to Clash. Along with this, Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Dhaakad’ was released. Kangana, who appeared in the action avatar, got one of the most unsuccessful films of her career. And everyone remembers the explosions that ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’ created.
Overall, only Karthik’s films have emerged winners in the fray so far, but his films have not clashed with any big star’s films. Last year, the success of ‘Sam Mankashaw’ in the clash with the blockbuster ‘Animal’ had increased Vicky Kaushal’s excitement. While this film was not even considered a box office favorite.
Karthik’s ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is also achieving total success at the box office. The strongest point is that Karthik’s film is a horror comedy and films of this genre have gained a lot this year. If ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ is successful at the box office, Karthik’s stardom will reach a new level.
