What’s The Good & Bad For Dunki?
While the buzz around Salaar is enormous due to its heady mix and mainstream genre, Dunki is betting on Shah Rukh Khan's charm and raj Kumar Hirani's track record. Salaar is expected to begin with a bang on december 22nd, based on early indications from throughout the country. Meanwhile, Dunki's producers are hopeful that the smart decision to release their film one day before Salaar would ensure a great start.
The main concern is whether Dunki can sustain the huge hoopla surrounding Salaar. Dunki has both advantages and cons, which we will investigate.
As Dunki will take the bulk of the screens on december 21st due to its standalone release, the openers will be remarkable across all regions in North india despite the arrival of the hollywood behemoth ‘Aquaman: The Fallen Kingdom’. Dunki will have a solid start in South india as well, with a large number of screens on the first day.
To brave the mind-boggling hoopla surrounding Salaar, Dunki will require universal praise and positive word of mouth. Salaar has received incredible reports and fantastic hype, so the openings will be earth-shattering. As a result, if Dunki does not receive positive feedback, it will be quickly replaced in many centres by Salaar because to its popularity among audiences.
