Trade experts now predict “Dunki” to earn an estimated ₹30-35 crore nett in India on its first day, including all languages. This figure, while lower than Shah Rukh Khan’s previous film “Jawan” which had a massive ₹75 crore debut, is still considered encouraging for a comedy-drama like “Dunki.”

“Dunki” may face stiff competition from Salaar, another big-ticket film releasing on the same day. “Salaar,” directed by Prashanth Neel, has already created a huge buzz among the audience and has raked in Rs 35.23 crore from 16,83,871 advance bookings.
