Fukrey 3 Box Office: Records highest 1st weekend in the franchise, already goes past lifetime of Fukrey

Filmmaker Mrighdeep Singh Lamba’s Fukrey, the first film in the franchise, became a surprise hit in 2013 as it went onto earn a good Rs. 36.50 crores. Starring Pulkit Samrat, Richa Chadha, Ali Fazal, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, Pankaj Tripathi, Priya Anand and Vishakha Singh, Fukrey 2 climbed even higher by recording lifetime collections of Rs. 80.32 crores. Fukrey 3, which released recently, is now all set to be another success story for the franchise.

Fukrey 3 has earned Rs. 43.48 crores in its four-day weekend. By doing so, it has gained the highest 1st weekend figures for a film in the franchise. The previous best was by Fukrey Returns, which had made Rs. 32.20 crores. In fact, Fukrey 3 has already gone past the lifetime number of the first film in the franchise (Rs. 36.50 crores).

With such a handsome amount already in its kitty in the first weekend itself, Fukrey 3 now looks to surpass the lifetime number of Fukrey Returns to emerge the most successful film in the franchise. It also has an outright chance of entering the Rs. 100 crores mark. One should note that Fukrey 3 has achieved this number despite Ali Fazal’s absence.

Fukrey franchise is produced under Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s banner Excel Entertainment.

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s latest advertisement with the platform Flipkart has landed the latter in trouble with mobile phone retailers.

The All India Mobile Retailers Association (AIMRA), which represents 150,000 mobile retailers, wrote a long letter to the smartphone brands to address the issue. “Our purpose in addressing you is to express our deep concern and disappointment regarding the recent wave of derogatory advertisements that have been proliferating across various online platforms, social media, and print media. These advertisements have been influencing the buying behaviour of customers through false and misleading statements, such as the one promoted by Flipkart with the endorsement of the mega star, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, stating, ‘yeh Dukan per nahin milne wala’ (This will not be found in stores),” AIMRA said in the letter, as reported by Economic Times.

The report also stated that the Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT), which represents 80 million retailers, has written a letter to Amitabh Bachchan condemning the advertisement. “We are highly disheartened to witness your recent advertisement for Flipkart, where you claimed that deals and offers are not available at shopkeepers, thereby misleading and influencing customers,” CAIT said.

Both Flipkart and Amitabh Bachchan have not reacted to the campaign backlash. As of now, Flipkart has made the video private on YouTube.
