Will Dunki be a blockbuster like Jawan, Pathaan?
The above question is haunting not only to Bollywood Badshah but also to his loyal fans. While there was an evident huge buzz regarding Jawan and Pathaan, Dunki unfortunately has failed to create the same buzz. Various factors can be the reason behind it. 2023 has been year of Shah Rukh Khan. He already had two release Jawan and Pathaan at the box office which were huge success. But as they say too much of anything is harmful, is the audience excited enough to see Shah Rukh once again in theatres this year.
Watch this video below:
Pathaan and Jawan were massy films, a genre which Indian audience enjoy the most whereas Dunki is looking a content driven film which may not appeal to the masses. However, it is too soon to predict anything. Shah Rukh Khan’s charm is such that he can add the Midas touch to any project and the same thing can also happen with Dunki.
Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire is an action thriller. Apart from Prabhas the film also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Bobby Simha in the lead role. Reportedly Prabhas is playing double role in the film. Talking about Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan movie is about the story of five friends who want to move London for better future.
