Box Office Update: Fukrey Returns Crosses 66 Crores On Day 11, Monsoon Shootout Shatters
The Varun Sharma-Pulkit Samrat duo has done it again. Fukrey Returns has shown no sign of slowing down in its second week. With no competition around, the market is a clear turf for profits and as expected, Fukrey Returns does not disappoint in its second week also. Despite being given bad reviews by most of the critics, it turns out audience can’t stop loving the film.
The movie grossed 7.10 cr on Sunday, surpassing its Saturday collection by 1.9 crores, making its lifetime collection to 66.11 cr. It will surely cross the 70 crores mark easily by the end of this week. It is expected that the film will continue to rake profits until Tiger Zinda Hai steps in. Clearly, Mrigdeep Singh Lamba’s comic drama is now amongst the club of this year’s biggest hits. Obviously, the poor competition in the market has benefited greatly for its numbers. The movie has stabilized the falling graphs of many of its casts’ careers. Pulkit Samrat had been desperately searching for his big hit after Sanam Re. He has well got it with Fukrey Returns. Same goes with Richa Chadda, Varun Sharma and Ali Fazal. The Fukrey gang certainly has some luck when together.
The movie has been successful in soothing the wounds of Bollywood’s poor economic year. That being said, the stage is now set for the big dog, Salman Khan starrer Tiger Zinda Hai to hit the Box office.
Talking about competition, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Monsoon Shootout has turned out to be a disaster. With almost no buzz pre-release, and a miserable start on the very first day, the movie is destined to be a flop. But the Amit Kumar’s suspense drama has crashed beyond expectations. It is unlikely that the movie would be able to recover its cost from the tickets. Seems like yet another flop in Nawazuddin’s pocket.
