Fukrey 3, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and starring Varun Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Richa Chadha and others took a decent opening at the Indian box office. The comedy film collected in the range of Rs 8.10 - 8.60 crore nett on its first day. There was a significant boost that Fukrey 3 was able to get due to a partial holiday. These are good numbers for a standalone film with no a-listers and a moderate budget, but given the fact that it is the third installment of a well received franchise, the numbers are lower than what they should have been. To compare, the opening day collections of the third part might just about match the collections that were registered by Fukrey Returns, way back in 2017.

Fukrey 3 Opens To A Decent Rs 8.25 Crores Nett; The Extended Weekend Should Put The Film In A Comfortable Position

Fukrey 3 will be enjoying a long extended weekend at the box office. Since Fukrey 3 is not a non-starter and has received a good word of mouth from those who have watched, it should hopefully be able to reach a respectable final total as well. It locked horns with Vivek Agnihotri's directorial The Vaccine War but found competition in Jawan, which in its fourth week, is the second most preferred Hindi movie choice in India. The collections of Fukrey 3 should see a slight decline on Friday. Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Gandhi Jayanti) should hopefully have the film do over Rs 10 crores each, to take the extended 5 day weekend total to around Rs 50 crores. Later in October, Fukrey 3 has bright chances to become the most preferred movie on National Cinema Day, a day which will be very critical for the future of the comic caper.
