Kartik Aaryan, thrilled by the response, decided to surprise fans on Sunday at Mumbai’s Gaiety Galaxy theatre, where he was warmly welcomed. Dressed casually, Aaryan stood on his car, holding a “Housefull” sign, a moment he later shared on Instagram, humorously noting that he had wanted to keep the sign as a keepsake.

This film is the latest chapter in a series that started with Priyadarshan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa in 2007, which starred Akshay Kumar as a ghostbuster.

Now, with Vidya Balan’s return as the menacing Manjulika, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 offers fans another thrilling chapter with a suspenseful Rooh Baba-Manjulika faceoff.

Director Anees Bazmee’s take on the franchise continues to capture the charm of horror-comedy, combining scares with laughs. The response from fans and critics suggests this installment may become one of the most celebrated films of the year, as it heads into its first full week with unstoppable momentum.
