Dunki vs Salaar Box Office Collection
Hombale Films ‘Salaar’ debuted on December 22, a day after JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films’ Dunki opened in theatres. While Dunki had its solo premiere on Thursday, Prashanth Neel’s Salaar was released in many languages nationwide and will have fierce competition.
Shah Rukh Khan’s film had a strong opening weekend at the box office, but it’s unclear how Prabhas’ film would affect revenue. With a first-day gross above Rs 60 crore, Salaar, starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, is predicted to beat Dunki.
India.com’s review of Shah Rukh Khan-Rajkumar Hirani’s film read – “Dunki is for the family, especially the Indian families who are so closely knitted, find happiness in the tiniest of achievements and always look for reasons to celebrate together. It does to you what cinema should do – tickle you hard, give you an experience of a lifetime, take you back to your happy memories and at the same time, leave you with something to think about. Dunki is joyous and has a big heart.”
