Two of the most highly anticipated films of the year, ‘Singham Again’ and ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, are gearing up for release this Diwali. Both movies come from popular franchises with strong fan bases, making it an exciting clash at the box office. However, the recent release of their trailers has left audiences with mixed feelings.
While both films are expected to do well, the trailers of these two massive productions have sparked a lot of debate. Fans were eagerly awaiting glimpses of what to expect, but did the trailers meet expectations? Let’s break it down.
1. Comedy: Where ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ Shines
As a horror-comedy, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ has set the stage for a mix of spooky and hilarious moments. The trailer gave us a peek at the comedic timing of Kartik Aryan and Rajpal Yadav, who once again nailed their roles with ease. Their chemistry on screen brought laughs, and while the comedy element was predictable, it still managed to draw attention.
On the other hand, ‘Singham Again’ also features moments of comic relief. With Ranveer Singh and Akshay Kumar in supporting roles, there’s bound to be some humor in this Rohit Shetty action-packed film. However, comedy doesn’t seem to be the main focus here, as the film leans more into its intense action sequences.
In terms of comedy, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ takes the lead with its quirky and well-timed humor, though it wasn’t groundbreaking.
2. Action: ‘Singham Again’ Dominates
If there’s one thing the ‘Singham’ franchise is known for, it’s high-octane action. ‘Singham Again’ delivers just that, and the trailer is packed with explosive fight scenes. With a police team that includes multiple characters, the movie is set to be an action extravaganza. Ajay Devgan as the lead once again brings the intensity fans expect, and the scale of the action sequences sets this film apart.
Meanwhile, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’, being a horror-comedy, doesn’t have much action to boast about. The focus is more on its supernatural elements and humor, so if you’re looking for edge-of-your-seat action, ‘Singham Again’ wins this round hands down.
3. Acting: A Mixed Bag
When it comes to performances, ‘Singham Again’ stands strong with a star-studded cast. Ajay Devgan as Singham is back in his iconic role, and he’s supported by other big names like Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh. The ensemble cast definitely adds to the film’s appeal, with each actor playing their roles with confidence.
On the other hand, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ features Trupti Dimri and the return of Madhuri Dixit as Manjulika. While Madhuri’s presence adds excitement, her portrayal in the trailer didn’t quite give off the eerie vibe that fans were hoping for. Overall, the acting in ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ didn’t make a huge impact, leaving ‘Singham Again’ ahead in this category.
4. Story: Freshness vs Familiarity
In terms of storytelling, ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3’ has the upper hand. The trailer hints at a new angle to the familiar horror-comedy formula, and while it doesn’t reveal too much, there’s enough to keep audiences intrigued. The presence of both humor and spooky elements ensures that the story might offer some surprises.
Meanwhile, ‘Singham Again’ sticks to the tried-and-tested Singham formula. The trailer gives away much of the story, with the police force once again tackling crime with high-energy action sequences. While fans of the series will still enjoy the familiar setup, there’s nothing particularly new to look forward to in terms of plot.
