Summary: On its first day, "Fukrey 3" had a favorable response at the box office. The film features Pankaj Tripathi, Richa Chadha, Varun Sharma, Manjot Singh, and Pulkit Samrat.

Box office results for Fukrey 3: The comedy featuring Richa Chadha, Varun Sharma, Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, and Pankaj Tripathi had a successful Thursday night debut. According to preliminary estimates published by Sacnilk.com, it had an opening collection of 8.5 crore. It is the third entry in the popular comedy film series, which was directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba.

The report indicated that on Thursday, "Fukrey 3" achieved an occupancy rate of 22.12 percent, garnering the most favorable response. This was during its theatrical release, which coincided with Kangana Ranaut's "Chandramukhi 2" and Vivek Agnihotri's "The Vaccine War." It's worth noting that Thursday was a semi-holiday in India due to Eid-e-Milad an-Nabi and Ganpati Visarjan.

In "Fukrey 3," the team reunites with Hunny (Pulkit Samrat), Choocha (Varun Sharma), and Laali (Manjot Singh). Their mission is to prevent Bholi (Richa Chadha) from winning the elections in Delhi and causing turmoil in the capital due to her corrupt actions.

According to The Hindustan Times review of Fukrey 3, the film, spanning 150 minutes, maintains a brisk pace and captivates the audience's interest primarily through its characters rather than the plot. While much of what unfolds on screen is humorous for evident reasons, the reviewer expresses a desire for director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba to focus on cleaner and more clever comedic elements instead of relying on excessive toilet humor, which, at times, makes it seem like the writers may have exhausted their creative ideas.

In an interview, Richa explained that the comedy franchise succeeds because of the distinct and well-detailed characters, with attention to quirks and nuances. The audience connects with the relatability of these characters, appreciating the writers' dedication to humor and director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba's meticulous work.
