First week collections of Bhool Bhulaiyaa are out and the film has established it's status as a box office success. While the film is a definite hit, it has to be seen if it achieves the superhit status before Om Shanti Om and Saawariya strike on 9th November.

Film has accumulated huge moolah from all major centers while doing good business across the A, B and C centers of the country. Mumbai has been terrific for this Akshay Kumar starrer with collections crossing the 4.5 crores mark. Even in Delhi, the film has broken the 2.5 crores barrier with NCR further contributing more than 1 crore. Even in Ahmedabad, another major center for Bollywood biggies, the film did very good business by netting more than 1 crore.

With such tremendous collections to boast, this Priyadarshan directed flick has grossed 12 crores as per reported centres, just from the domestic market in it's opening week. Even overseas have great collections to show, hence re-establishing Akshay Kumar's hold at the box office.

While Bhool Bhulaiyaa is strong even as it entered it's second week, what happened to all the competition in the running when the film arrived? As expected, Laaga Chunari Mein Daag suffered most as the collections were reduced to half at most of the centers. Mumbai was relatively better with close to 2.5 crores coming in though Delhi was only average with 1.5 crores as the net figure. While Delhi NCR held on reasonably well with collections reading approx 70 lakhs, Ahmedabad was clearly a lot behind with 42 lakhs.

In nutshell, the film's first total is estimated only to be close to 6 crores as per reported centres. Also, there doesn't seem to be much respite ahead since Bhool Bhulaiyaa has continued to do strong even in it's second week though same cannot be said about Laaga Chunari Mein Daag.

In the battle between Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, all the other films in the running suffered in a big way. Such was the combined impact of both the films at the box office that other films completely fell at the box office.
