This week, two highly anticipated films, The Vaccine War and Fukrey, were released in theatres, and it seems like Pulkit Samrat's film is the winner. The film is giving tough competition to Nana Patekar's film, which had a slow start at the box office. However, the comedy-drama is facing tough competition from Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, which is still performing outstandingly at the box office. The Atlee-directed film has crossed the Rs 1000 crore (Rs 10 billion) mark at the box office.

Fukrey 3 review 

WION's Shomini Sen praised Varun Sharma's performance in the film. In the review, she wrote, ''Fukrey 3 ultimately is a middling affair with certain predictable scenes and certain laugh-out-loud moments. Watch out for Fazal's cameo which gives hope for the fourth installment in the franchise. But then, do we really need another story of the Fukras and their tried and tested style of comedy?''
