KRK Comes Up With A Controversial Response To Dunki

In Bollywood, where each film is a spectacle of its own, Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki emerges as a cinematic marvel, captivating audiences and critics alike. This comedy-drama, featuring a star-studded cast including Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover, Vikram Kochhar, and Dia Mirza, marks Hirani’s triumphant return to the director’s chair after a five-year hiatus.

Dunki stands tall as one of the most anticipated films of the year, fueled by the immense success of Shah Rukh Khan’s previous two releases, Jawan and Pathaan, both crossing the remarkable Rs 1,000 crore milestone at the worldwide box office. As the third installment in SRK’s cinematic journey for the year, Dunki is poised to follow suit, promising an entertaining experience for audiences worldwide.

The excitement doesn’t stop there. A cinematic showdown is on the horizon as Dunki enters the ring with Prashanth Neel’s Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire, starring the charismatic Prabhas. The clash of these cinematic titans is set to ignite the box office, with Dunki making an impressive 30 crore rupees on its opening day. However, Salaar, with its multi-language release, has already secured nearly 50 crore rupees through advance bookings, setting the stage for an epic battle at the box office.

Kamaal R Khan, the controversial movie critic known as KRK, has shared his insights on Dunki. In a tweet, he acknowledged his personal experience with the subject matter, stating, “I have done #Dunki twice in my real life, so I know too much about this subject.” However, he expressed disappointment in the film’s portrayal, claiming the writers lacked a deep understanding of the theme. Despite his reservations, Dunki garnered approximately ₹28.50 crore on its first day, indicating a strong opening.

KRK further commented on Dunki’s box office performance, noting that the film didn’t pick up momentum in the evening and night shows. He projected a minimum 20% jump on Friday to reach ₹300 crore in lifetime business. While expectations of a ₹500 crore lifetime business might be optimistic, Dunki’s performance is a proof of the unpredictability of the Bollywood box office.

A noteworthy distinction between Dunki and Salaar lies in their language accessibility. Dunki is exclusively available in Hindi, catering to a specific linguistic audience. In contrast, Salaar’s strategic multi-language release broadens its appeal, tapping into diverse viewer demographics.
