Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and starring Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani and others is gearing up for a grand release in theatres worldwide on the 21st of December, 2023. Dunki's advance bookings opened a few days prior and they are so far going very good with 1.25 lakh tickets getting sold in the top national chains for the opening day alone. PVRInox has sold 1.01 lakh tickets for the opening day as at 3pm on 19th December, 2023 and Cinepolis has sold 24000 tickets.
Dunki Has Sold A Healthy 1.25 Lakh Plus Tickets In Top 3 National Chains For The Opening Day
With a day and a half still to go, one can expect Dunki to positively enter the top 5 list of the highest tickets sold in top national chains for the opening day in 2023. The list of 2023 is dominated by Shah Rukh Khan's two films Jawan and Pathaan and while it is unlikely for Dunki to top the two mass-actioners, for it to enter the top 5 list itself is a giant achievement given its genre and initial appeal. Films like Dunki are generally not too big on initials but the presence of Shah Rukh Khan has ensured it. Now it all boils down to the acceptance of the content in the film, which will determine where it is headed, in its full run.

Dunki releases solo on a working Thursday. It will be facing competition from Salaar from its second day. The fight for the screens, especially in single screen properties, is getting intense as the release date draws nearer. It will be interesting to see how both the films play out this Christmas season. Both the movies are radically different and enjoy a very different set of audience.
