November 1 will begin with the auspicious occasion of Diwali and the release of two most-anticipated films, Singham Again and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.

Speaking about who's leading the race as far as advance booking is concerned, Komal said, "Singham Again is leading marginally from Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
This is because it has got more screens than Kartik's films. But both movies are performing extremely well, and it will be a bumper Diwali for Bollywood."

Since Chennai Express, Rohit has a fanbase here (in the south) and it also has elements from Ramayana, so being an emotionally-charged actioner, Singham Again races ahead, but Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 is not lacking behind."
