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.
