Preliminary reports from PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis indicate a strong start for ‘Dunki,’ with a staggering 2.28 lakh tickets sold for the opening day alone. The excitement surrounding this collaboration between SRK and Hirani has translated into an advance booking buzz, hinting at an impressive start with an estimated range of Rs 30 to 35 crore. In the post-pandemic era, ‘Dunki’ competes favorably with previous blockbuster releases. In the same multiplex chains, Gadar 2, Tiger 3, and Brahmastra had sold 2.74 lakh, 3.15 lakh, and 3.02 lakh tickets, respectively. ‘Dunki’ has outpaced them with its solid 2.26 lakh advance ticket sales, promising an exciting cinematic experience for the audience.
Regional Variations In Advance Bookings
Miraj, another significant chain, has reported around 16,000 tickets sold for ‘Dunki’s opening day. At the same time, this falls short of the figures achieved by Tiger 3 and Gadar 2. Therefore, the trajectory of ‘Dunki’ now relies on the walk-in audience. Also, a strong start indicates its potential success, as ‘Dunki graces approximately 4,000 screens across India. It is set to offer an astounding 15,000 shows on the opening day. The challenge ahead is to surpass the opening day record of PK (Rs 26 crore). And aim towards the pinnacle achieved by Sanju (Rs 34.25 crore).
Anticipation Among The Audience
The film’s fate now rests on the shoulders of word-of-mouth promotion. A critical element that could propel ‘Dunki’ to unprecedented heights. Will it surpass the opening day records set by its predecessors? The answer lies in the audience’s reception after 5 PM shows, with the potential for a significant spike in numbers.
All Eyes On ‘Dunki’
With its powerful duo of Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani. ‘Dunki’ has already etched its name in the advance booking records. Now, all eyes are on the word-of-mouth reviews and the evening shows.
