Advance Bookings For 'Dunki' Pick Up Ahead Of 'Salaar' Clash!

Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan is all set to arrive with his third film in 2023. After delivering two 1000 crore blockbusters like 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan', he is arriving with 'Dunki' under Rajkumar Hirani's direction. The expectations are massively high on this combo and it will be released on 21st December which is just a day ahead of Prabhas' 'Salaar'. The advance bookings have started on Saturday and trade experts have revealed that it got 1.36 crores on within a day.

According to Sacnilk, a trade industry tracker, 'Dunki' sold nearly 38,000 tickets for 2836 shows which is a huge number. Another trade pundit, Sumit Kadel wrote, "Dunki Initial pre-sale starts on a remarkable note. Film has sold 10K +tickets at national chain multiplexes. Non national chains showing good movement too. If the momentum continues then Dunki will challenge top films of 2023 in terms of final advance booking. Next 3 days will give a clear picture."

These numbers were quite low when compared to 'Jawan' as it sold around 2,oo,454 tickets in less than 24 hours. It amounts to 6.84 crores and even 'Pathaan' sold 1.17 lakh tickets within a day. But 'Dunki' is not a masala action flick like these two and the movie's collections increase once the content impresses the audience.

Pritam is the music composer and the ensemble cast includes talented actors like Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, along with Shah Rukh Khan. A JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films are presenting this film. This film is written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirai and Kanika Dhillon. Rajkumar Hirani directed and co-produced this movie while Gauri Khan is the other producer.
