It’s been a terrible year for Bollywood as around 95% of the total movies released have bombed at the box office. The last clean hit of the year was Golmaal Again which was released on Diwali. Since then its been a flop show. All eyes are now on the movies scheduled for release in December. While Salman Khan’s Tiger Zinda Hai looks like a potential blockbuster, the other film which is making the audience crazy is Fukrey Returns. A sequel to 2013 sleeper hit Fukrey, the movie is slated for release on 8 Dec 2017. Let’s have a detailed look at Fukrey Returns box office prediction.
Fukrey Returns box office prediction: Positives and Negatives
Positives
1) A sequel to one of the most loved films of recent time. The fans are super excited for the film’s sequel.
2) Perfect release date: With no competition from previous week and upcoming week releases, it has a good chance to make it big at the box office.
3) Funny trailer: The trailer of the film has received superb response from the viewers and critics.
4) Genre: After the success of Golmaal Again and Judwaa 2, it is clear that the audience is looking for good family entertainers. The comic genre is still most favorite among the audience.
Negatives
1) Expectations are too high: The first part of the film has achieved a cult status in last 5 years. The expectations are very high from the sequel. Sometime these expectations worked against the film. Let’s hope this is not the case here.
Our Expectations From Fukrey Returns
Considering all the above points, we expect the movie to take a decent start at the box office. As per our prediction, the first weekend collection of the film will be around 6 to 7 crores. It should earn around 25 crores in the first weekend unless the content turns out really poor.
Made on a budget of 30 crores, the movie needs to earn 50 crores to be called a hit at the box office. With the current buzz and the status the film has achieved, there are good chances that the film will be a hit. Still, box office results these days have been quite unpredictable and we need to wait for the actual results.
