Dunki Movie Review
Dunki will have a wide release today across 4000 screens in the country and over 13K shows.
According to trade reports, the film’s advance bookings were around the Rs 12 crore range on Wednesday. However, as the film hit theatres today, reports on Sacnilk.com state that the movie could just see a big rise in numbers. According to the portal, the film is projected to earn an estimated Rs 30 crore nett in India on its first day for all languages.
These numbers are a lot less than the Rs 75 crore debut that Shah Rukh’s previous outing, Jawan had at the box office.
The movie will get a headstart at the box office and will clash with Prabhas’ Salaar and Jason Momoa’s Hollywood superhero film Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom on Friday, December 22. The three films will compete at the box office over the extended Christmas weekend.
