Fri ₹ 14.11 cr. #India biz."

According to Box Office India report, "Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 has grossed a very good 14 crore nett on day one as the film does excellent business across multiplexes in India. There will be a chance of a higher number but that will depend where the single screen and smaller centre numbers land up in the morning. The 15 crore nett mark is an outside possibility. Overall its a great result for the film and its sets it up on to the path to becoming a HIT film."
