Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated film, ‘Dunki,’ slated for release on December 21, is facing tepid anticipation in Kerala, particularly in light of stiff competition from blockbuster releases like ‘Salaar’ and ‘Neru.’
As per the latest update from the Friday Matinee Twitter forum, ‘Dunki’ is encountering a lackluster pre-sales phase in Kerala. The figures, as of December 20 at 7 AM, reveal 258 tracked shows, 6057 admissions, and a gross collection of 11.72 lakhs. These numbers indicate a subdued level of interest, emphasizing the need for positive reviews to bolster its box office performance against formidable competitors.
Despite the underwhelming pre-sales, optimism persists regarding director Rajkumar Hirani’s ability to deliver a compelling narrative. Paired with Shah Rukh Khan’s recent successes in ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan,’ expectations remain high for ‘Dunki’ to resonate with audiences and maintain Khan’s string of hits.
The comedy-drama film, ‘Dunki,’ explores the theme of “donkey flights,” shedding light on illegal immigration techniques. Directed and edited by Rajkumar Hirani, the movie features a stellar cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Boman Irani.
As ‘Dunki’ approaches its release date, the film must overcome the challenge of generating momentum in Kerala amidst tough competition, relying on positive reviews and audience reception to secure success at the box office.
