Fukrey Returns is the biggest opening ever for films without face value as far as the box office is concerned. The numbers of Bahubali - The Conclusion and M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story are higher but they were big budget films and it could even be argued that M.S. Dhoni - The Untold Story has some face because the hero had a success prior but that does not really mean face value and probably needed a popular heroine to say it had real face value. Nevertheless it was about Dhoni and that was the face value but when we talk face value its the stars.
The Bahubali face value came from a spectacle of a film and and an unprecedented craze while M.S. Dhoni and Sachin had the famous cricket names attached to them which was the face value. Simply put never has a film in the bracket of Fukrey Returns got these sort of opening numbers. The top openings which did not have a presence of a face well known to the Hindi audience or a combination of faces known to the audience are as follows.
1. Bahubali: The Conclusion - .40,73,00,000
2. M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story - 20,13,00,000
3. Fukrey Returns - 8,00,00,000 apprx
4. Sachin: A Billion Dreams - 7,18,00,000
5. Neerja - 4,62,00,000
