In a surprising turn of events, Kartik Aaryan won the Diwali box office battle against Ajay Devgn’s Singham again at the worldwide box office, maintaining a lead of almost 4 crore gross. In 20 days, the horror comedy film has earned a total collection of 394.37 crore.
Interestingly, both films are threequels of one of the most popular franchises of Indian Cinema, one helmed by Aneez Bazmee and the other helmed by Rohit Shetty. While the horror comedy also starred Vidya Balan, Madhuri Dixit and Triptii Dimri, the Cop Universe biggie had its own galaxy of stars.
