December 2017: One of the most amazing months of the year for box office as well as for the dosage of entertainment. Salman Khan – Katrina Kaif’s Tiger Zinda Hai & the hilarious gang’s Fukrey Returns made sure to make this December a memorable one.

The month surely started continuing the dry phase from November with Kapil Sharma’s Firangi and Sunny Leone – Arbaaz Khan’s Tera Intezaar. Both the movies failed to boost any business at the box office. Where Firangi wrapped up its lifetime collections at just 10 crores, Tera Intezaar was even more embarrassing at just 2 crores.

But, good times were ahead for Bollywood as we had two probable money-spinners on cards in Fukrey Returns & Tiger Zinda Hai. Everyone expected Fukrey Returns to do good business at the box office but it overwhelmed everyone’s expectations collecting 78.84 crores at the box office. It’s still running having limited shows but is already on the list of most profitable movies of 2017.
