According to Taran Adarsh, “the holiday factor” has helped besides the “hugely popular brand value.” In a post on X (earlier called Twitter), the film critic wrote, “Fukrey 3 puts up an excellent score in its extended opening weekend… Business on Saturday - Sunday - Monday witness a spike, the holiday factor has also helped, besides the hugely-popular brand-value… Now all eyes on Tuesday…Thursday ₹ 8.82 crore, Friday ₹ 7.81 crore, Saturday ₹ 11.67 crore, Sunday ₹ 15.18 crore, Monday ₹ 11.69 crore. Total: ₹ 55.17 crore. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
Fukrey 3, by Mrigdeep Singh Lamba, opened in theatres on September 28. The film features an ensemble cast of Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Varun Sharma, Richa Chadha and Pankaj Tripathi.
On Monday, Taran Adarsh said that Fukrey 3 has also “found acceptance” among the moviegoers. He wrote, “Fukrey 3 goes on an overdrive on Day 4 [Sunday]… The day-wise growth reiterates the fact that the third instalment in the #Fukrey series has also found acceptance… Eyes ₹ 55 crore - ₹ 60 crore *extended* weekend, which is phenomenal Thursday ₹ 8.82 crore, Friday ₹ 7.81 crore, Saturday ₹ 11.67 crore, Sunday ₹ 15.18 crore. Total: ₹ 43.48 crore. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”
In his one word review, Taran Adarsh called Fukrey 3 “rocking” and gave it 4 stars. As per the film critic, “Like its earlier instalments, Fukrey 3 works as a package… But the one who's bound to walk away with ceetees and taalis is - no prizes for guessing - Choocha [VarunSharma]. His cheeky one-liners, the bromance [with his gang of friends] and one-sided romance [with #BholiPunjaban] is the soul of #Fukrey3.”
“Fukrey 3 should reap a rich harvest at the #Boxoffice thanks to the brand value, its solid content,” he added.
