Box office report: Fukrey 3 beats Vivek Agnihotri's film The Vaccine War

This Friday, two much-awaited Bollywood movies were released - one was The Kashmir Files fame Vivek Agnihotri's The Vaccine War, and the second was the third instalment of the comedy film franchise Fukrey. Both films came at a time when Hindi films were again dominating the box office, and films like Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, Ranveer Singh's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, and Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 are attracting huge audiences back to the theatre.

SRK's Jawan ruled the box office alone for two weeks and went on to become one of the highest-grossing Hindi films. And this week we have The Vaccine War vs. Fukrey. And it seems like Pulkit Samrat's film is the winner.
