Mumbai: Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani starrer horror comedy film “Bhool Bhulaiya 2” is continuously creating records at the box office. The film has done a business of about Rs 98 crore in just eight days and trade experts believe that the movie will cross the Rs 100 crore mark on Saturday.
Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh believes that the movie will break into the Rs 100 crore club. Adarsh took Twitter to share his expectations from the movie.
“#BhoolBhulaiyaa2 marches ahead gloriously, unaffected by the new opponents… Expect bigger numbers over the weekend… Will hit Rs 100 crore today [second Sat]… #KartikAaryan’s second film to hit the century, after #SKTKS… [Week 2] Fri 6.52 cr.

Taran also mentioned that “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” will also become the fifth film to cross the 100 crore mark in 2022 on 28 May. Before “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” (May), “Gangubai Kathiawadi” (February), “The Kashmir Files” (March), “RRR” (March) and “KGF2” (April) had crossed the 100 crore mark.
Apart from this, “Bhool Bhulaiya 2” has also become the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of this year in the first week itself. Before “Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2” (92.05), “The Kashmir Files” earned Rs 97.30 crore. In this list, Alia’s Gangubai Kathiawadi is at number three with an earning of Rs 68.93 crore.
Let us tell you that it is not the first time that Kartik Aaryan is entering the 100 crore club. He achieved this milestone long back in 2018 with his superhit movie “Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety”. Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 will be the second movie of Kartik to touch Rs 100 crore.

Remembering Gyan Sahay, the lens behind film, television and advertising
From a puppet rabbit selling poppadums to Hindi cinema, he framed it all.
MUMBAI: There are careers, and then there are canvases. Gyan Sahay, the veteran cinematographer, director, and producer who passed away on 10 March 2026 in Mumbai, had one of the latter. Over several decades in the Indian film and television industry, he turned lenses, lights, and the occasional puppet rabbit into something approaching art.
A graduate of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) in Pune, Sahay built his reputation as a director of photography across a career that stretched from the early 1970s all the way to the digital age. He was the kind of craftsman who understood that a well-composed shot is not merely a technical achievement but a quiet act of storytelling.
For most Indians of a certain age, however, Sahay will forever be the man behind the rabbit. His direction of the iconic long-running television commercial for Lijjat Papad, featuring its now-legendary puppet bunny, gave the country one of its most cheerfully persistent advertising images. It was the sort of work that sneaks into the national subconscious and takes up permanent residence.
His big-screen credits as cinematographer include Anokhi Pehchan (1972), Pagli (1974), Pas de Deux (1981), and Hum Farishte Nahin (1988). In 1999, he stepped behind a different kind of camera altogether, making his directorial debut with Sar Ankhon Par, a drama that featured Vikas Bhalla and Shruti Ulfat, with a cameo by Shah Rukh Khan for good measure.
On television, Sahay was particularly prized for his command of multi-camera production setups, a skill that made him a go-to technician for large-scale shows and reality programmes. In an industry that has never been especially patient with complexity, he was the calm hand on the rig.
In later life, Sahay turned teacher. He participated regularly in masterclasses and Digi-Talks, often hosted by organisations such as Bharatiya Chitra Sadhna, sharing hard-won wisdom on cinematography, the comedy of timing in a shot, and the sweeping changes brought by the shift from celluloid to digital. He was also said to have been involved in a project concerning a biographical film on Infosys co-founder N.R. Narayana Murthy.
Tributes from the film industry poured in following the news of his passing, with colleagues remembering him as a senior cameraman who served as a rare bridge between two entirely different eras of Indian cinema. That is, perhaps, the finest thing one can say of any craftsman: he kept up, and he brought others along with him.
