More about SRK’s Dunki
Shah Rukh Khan’s third film of this year is not rising as high as his previous hits of this year.
Director Rajkumar Hirani’s first and long awaited collaboration movie with Shah Rukh Khan is not going to reach the records of Jawan and Pathan.
Siddharth Anand’s film Pathan is the first movie of SRK in the year, which was released in January 2023 and its first day box office collection was almost Rs. 57 crore. This movie grossed Rs. 1050.30 worldwide. On other hand, Atlee Kumar’s film Jawan released in the mid of this year and earned Rs. 89.5 cr in day 1 and broke his previous record box office collection of more than Rs. 1143.59 crore.
On 21 December 2023, Rajkumar Hirani’s film Dunki was released which was produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Rajkumar Hirani Films and Jio Studios and it casted Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani and many more along with SRK. Though this movie of SRK’s lowest opening of this year is a 120 crore budget film definitely made a profit but time will tell if it is a big hit or not.
Predictions about Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire
On 22 December 2023, basically today Prabhas’s movie Salaar was released. After bollywood film Adipurush it’s Prabhas’s second film of this year. This Om Raut’s film was released 16 june, 2023 which earned about Rs. 393 crore worldwide and its production budget was Rs. 500 cr – Rs. 700 crore, so it could be considered as a flop.
Every flop rises with a hit especially a star like Prabhas; Prasanth Neel’s film Salaar produced by Vijay Kiragandur casted Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu along with superstar Prabhas. Already this movie gained praise from the audience but now let’s see after watching the movie whether the audience love it or not.
Both of the movie Salar and Dunki will give each other a tough competition; not time to see which movie gain more love.
