Two highly-anticipated movies, ‘Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire’ and ‘Dunki’, are set for a box office clash, each relying on distinct strengths. ‘Salaar’ boasts Prabhas and director Prashanth Neel’s collaboration in a mass-action genre, amassing significant hype.
On the other hand, ‘Dunki’ banks on Shah Rukh Khan’s charm and director Raj Kumar Hirani’s track record, strategically releasing a day before ‘Salaar’ to secure a strong opening.
‘Dunki’ holds an advantage by securing a majority of screens on December 21st, especially in North India, despite facing competition from Hollywood’s ‘Aquaman: The Fallen Kingdom’. It aims for a decent start in South India too, securing a good number of screens.
However, ‘Dunki’ faces the challenge of maintaining momentum against the colossal hype surrounding ‘Salaar’. With the latter generating tremendous buzz and positive reports, its openings are expected to be outstanding. If ‘Dunki’ fails to garner unanimous acclaim and positive word of mouth, it risks being replaced swiftly by ‘Salaar’ in many centers due to the latter’s audience craze.
Shah Rukh Khan’s recent successes with ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’ build confidence in ‘Dunki’, while ‘Salaar’ generates excitement despite Prabhas’ recent box office setbacks. Trade pundits foresee a challenging journey for ‘Dunki’ with the impending ‘Salaar’ storm at the box office. Both teams remain optimistic about their films’ prospects despite the tough competition ahead.
