It's a clear victory for Fukrey Returns at the box-office. The film, after opening with an impressive collection of Rs 8.10 crore, has hit double digits on its second day winning a impressive Rs 11.30 crore. The total collection of the film now stands at Rs 19.40 crore, which is quite a feat for a small-budgeted film like this innocent of any stars. The real star, in this case, is the brand Fukrey itself. The prequel, released in 2013, had turned out to be a sleeper hit with lifetime collection of over Rs 36 crore. It was lapped up by critics and audience alike and has been enjoying a super successful run on television. After a gap of four and a half years, Fukras have made a return and looks like the audience still shares a connect with them.
The future of Fukrey Returns looks bright what with no major Hindi film releasing before December 22 when Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will hit the screens with ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. In such a scenario, Fukrey Returns will definitely go past the Rs 50 crore mark, to say the least. Fukrey Returns stars Pulkit Samrat, Richa Chadha, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi in the lead roles. The film is directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and produced by Excel Entertainment. It opened to average reviews from film critics.
