Box Office: Fukrey 3 and The Vaccine War Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, September 28 - Director Mrigdeep Singh Lamba's "Fukrey 3" has taken the franchise's best opening at the domestic box office. The comic caper manages to surpass the opening of "Fukrey Returns" which scored 8.10 crores net. ## "Fukrey 3" released some expectations, mainly due to the strong franchise recall value. It started on a decent note in the morning shows and witnessed some growth as the day progressed as it scored an estimated around 8.50 crores net and might go towards 9 crores. ## The three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) have contributed over 50% to the opening day collection of "Fukrey 3". The mass centres are not that strong though they should come in the picture over the weekend as the movie is carrying decent word of mouth. ## The second release of the day, Vivek Agnihotri's "The Vaccine War" has a low start as it scored around 1.50 crores net on opening day. The buzz for the movie died down in the last few days after generating awareness a few weeks back. ## Agnihotri's last film "The Kashmir Files" was a massive blockbuster but here, the opening of "The Vaccine War" is not even half of TKF which minted 3.55 crores net. The opening of TKF was itself not big but it went on to score over 250 crore net after managing to connect with sentiments of the audiences. Here, the WOM for TVW is decent but it is unlikely to repeat the success of TKF.## Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan's mega-blockbuster "Jawan" scored a very good jump today and collected around 5.50 crores net in all versions. The Hindi net collection is around 5.25 crores for a total of around 525 crores net which makes it the highest Hindi net grosser of all time (depending on the actuals). ## Stay tuned...
