Fukrey 3 sells 36000 tickets in top national chains for the opening day, prior to release day (Credit: Excel Entertainment)
Fukrey 3, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba and starring Varun Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Richa Chadha and others is the third installment of the much loved Fukrey franchise. The first film of the franchise was a sleeper hit and due to excellent non-theatrical reception of the first part, the second part was able to take a much bigger opening and also emerge a super-hit. Fukrey 3 has registered pretty good advance bookings for itself, although expectations were for the film to sell more tickets than it has been able to, prior to its release. The comic-caper has sold 36000 tickets in top national chains. An opening of around Rs 9 crore nett is expected considering that it’s a partial holiday in the country. That would make it the biggest opener of the franchise, although the ticket sales for the opening day will be lower than the second part.

Fukrey 3 Is An Important Film For The Hindi Film Industry
Fukrey 3 is an important film for the Hindi Film Industry. It is not being propelled by the stars but the iconic characters. The film industry is going through a transition.phase where an established IP with no significant star can register a bigger opening than a-lister films. Audiences are diverting more towards films that give them a bang for their buck. If Fukrey 3 finds acceptance, it can become the most preferred Hindi film choice for National Cinema Day, a day which can probably decide whether Excel Entertainment can greenlight the fourth installment of the franchise or not.
