Kartik Aaryan has entered the coveted 200-crore club with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3. From his breakout roles to becoming one of the most bankable stars in the industry, Kartik’s self-made journey has been nothing short of phenomenal and truly inspirational. Kartik Aaryan’s impressive journey to crossing the 200 crore mark at the box office has been fuelled by a string of successful films, each contributing to his growing popularity and financial success. His films like Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018), Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), and Luka Chuppi (2019) proved his charm and box-office pull in the romantic-comedy genre, establishing him as a reliable star for mass appeal.
However, it was his involvement in films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 (2022), Satya Prem Ki Katha (2023) and Chandu Champion that showcased his versatility and range as a star performer. As these films brought more than 350 Cr collectively to the box office, they cumulatively propelled Kartik to the new 200 crore club milestone, establishing him as one of the most popular young stars of contemporary Hindi cinema and the next superstar to watch out for!
Currently, Kartik Aaryan has delivered a career-defining moment with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, as the film crosses the coveted ₹200 crore mark at the domestic box office, becoming one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. The double-century club includes some of the biggest names of the industry and very few young actors have made an entry to it – Kartik Aaryan is the new entrant to this club – and it’s a remarkable achievement for the actor.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh says, “It’s a great achievement that Kartik’s film has hit the 200 crore mark and it is his first film to hit a double century within only 9 days of its release. In the past few years he had a couple of 100 Crore films but this is the first time that he has gone to ‘Do Sau Paar’ at the box-office. Now, what makes it even more commendable for Kartik, is the fact that his film was released alongside a mighty opponent, Singham Again and to achieve these kinds of numbers with a strong opposition, it’s a feat few stars achieve – it’s a massive applaud worthy achievement. He has got critical acclaim as well as most importantly, he has got box office validation which is very important in today’s times. Kartik is now into a different league altogether.”
Directed by Anees Bazmee, a project initiated by Bhushan Kumar Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 marks Kartik Aaryan’s first Diwali release and the biggest opener of his career. The festive timing of the release gave the film an added boost and he made sure to deliver a full-on blockbuster for his fans. The film continues to dominate the box office, despite facing stiff competition from other big-ticket releases. The movie’s perfect blend of horror, comedy, and suspense, paired with Aaryan’s magnetic performance, has struck a chord with audiences across the nation.
Says an ecstatic Kartik Aaryan, “This is a big moment for me in my career. I’m so grateful to audiences and my fans without whom this would not have been possible. This milestone belongs to each and everyone who has been part of my dream journey. Thank you for being a part of this milestone with me.”
For Kartik Aaryan, this is not just another box office success; it represents the culmination of years of hard work and rising stardom. With this massive success, he has firmly established himself as one of the most bankable young superstars in the industry. The actor, who has seen a meteoric rise over the past few years, is now poised to take on even bigger and more diverse roles in the future.
