Box Office: Fukrey 3 First Saturday Early Estimates; Jawan 24th Day Estimates

Mumbai, September 30 - Directed Mrighdeep Singh Lamba's comedy entertainer "Fukrey 3" has a very good first Saturday at the domestic box office as collection jumped by over 40% from Friday. The national multiplex chains continue to dominate the overall collection which was expected.

On its third day/first Saturday, "Fukrey 3" scored an estimated 11-11.50 crores net, taking the total collection to around 28 crores in three days. The movie should see another similar kind of jump on Sunday as Monday is again a holiday which will help night shows tomorrow.



The 4-day extended weekend is looking to be around 41-44 crores net which is a very good collection. The franchise value is helping "Fukrey 3" to post such numbers otherwise it doesn't have much star face value, plus, the audience's word of mouth is also mixed.

"Fukrey 3" will get the benefit of the Gandhi Jayanti holiday as the collection should be around the double-digit mark, so Tuesday will be the first litmus test for it. There is Akshay Kumar's "Mission Raniganj" releasing next Friday which will give competition to holdovers, still "Fukrey 3" stands a chance to reach 100 crores net mark which will be a win for the makers.

Meanwhile, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's mega-blockbuster continues to collect huge as it scored another big jump of around 75% on its 24th day/4th Saturday. The early estimates suggest around 8.75 crores net collection and can go higher in Hindi for Jawan today, which takes the total Hindi collection to around 539 crores. By Monday, it will cross the 550 crores mark and will become the first film ever to achieve this feat in Hindi.
