Will Fukrey Returns Do The Impossible, Rush Its Way Towards The 100 Crore Mark?

The last time a comedy started with an opening day of less than 10 crores and still entered the 100 Crore Club, it was Golmaal 3 [2010]. The film had earned 8.50 crore on its first Friday and still stretched well enough to gain good momentum over a period of time, hence surpassing the 100 crore mark.

Now that seven years down the line Fukrey Returns had started with an opening day of 8.10 crore, one wonders whether the entertainer would be able to replicate this feat.

Sounds near to impossible? Of course, yes. However Bollywood has seen a few surprises like these in the past as well, and one just hopes that the antics of Team Fukrey makes that possible.

Let’s take a look at films that entered 100 Crore Club despite bringing in less than 10 crores on their opening Friday:

Singham – 8.94 cr

Tanu Weds Manu Returns – 8.75 cr

Bhaag Milkha Bhaag – 8.65 cr

Golmaal 3 – 8.50 cr

Barfi – 8.50 cr

Baahubali – 5.15 cr

Each of the films in the Top-5 has an opening day between 8.50-9 crore. Moreover, these films boasted of a star in there, be it Ajay Devgn, Kangana Ranaut-Madhavan, Farhan Akhtar, Ajay Devgn-Kareena Kapoor or Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif. However, Fukrey Returns has just about crossed 8 crores on its first day and there is no star power per se to guarantee continued pull.
