Fukrey Returns had a good opening of around 25% with the collections in Delhi NCR and East Punjab being even better. The opening of this film is much better than the recent smaller films like Tumhari Sulu, Firangi, Bareilly Ki Barfi etc but those were more content films while Fukrey Returns has some commercial value due its comedy. The previous Fukrey released in 2013 had done pretty good business thanks to a strong run in the North. Still it was not that big that it become a brand but Fukrey Returns had good promos especially the comedy. The previous film had a very North flavour and this one probably has more all round commericial appeal.
This does not mean that it wll do better business as it could be that without that localized appeal it may not do the same business in and around Delhi as the last film. It remains to be seen how the film plays out but day one will give the film a very solid platform. The last Fukrey film opened to 2.46 crore nett and Fukrey Returns will surpass that pretty easily and probably be more than double that. The bigger task is the 35 crore nett lifetime business of Fukrey and the film will have chances to surpass that.
The other releases of the week like Galati Tumhari, Game Over and Sallu Ki Shaadi (based on Salman Khan) were very dull and have little hope at the box office.
