Word of Mouth to Decide 'Dunki's Fate.!
The film data-faces competition from the pan-India release of "Salaar," a commercial action drama. While "Dunki" boasts financial stability with a budget of Rs. 85 crores and projected theatrical earnings of Rs. 240 crores, success at the box office will depend on audience acceptance and positive reviews. Hirani's past films have thrived on word of mouth, and Shah Rukh Khan's fans are eager for "Dunky" to follow suit.
Although there is no financial pressure on the film, it needs to match the box office success achieved by "Pathan" and "Jawaan." With an emphasis on content, "Dunky" seeks to prove that it can garner collections at a similar level and maintain the momentum of Shah Rukh Khan's recent blockbuster streak. As the film awaits its release, fans and industry observers are keenly anticipating its performance at the box office.
