Dunki Craze: BookMyShow Crashes
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,December 20 2023]
Bollywood's reigning Badshah, Shah Rukh Khan, is set to captivate audiences once again with his much-anticipated film, Dunki. Directed by the renowned filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, the movie has generated immense excitement, fueled by Shah Rukh Khan's recent blockbuster successes, Pathaan and Jawan. Now, poised for a hat-trick triumph with Dunki, expectations are soaring.
Rajkumar Hirani, celebrated for his directorial prowess in films like Munnabhai MBBS, PK, 3 Idiots, and Sanju, brings his creative genius to Dunki. The first look, teaser, and trailer have garnered widespread attention, creating a buzz that reached a crescendo when online ticket bookings opened. Such was the fervor that the leading online movie ticket booking site crashed under the unprecedented demand. The film is scheduled for release on December 21, 2023.
Despite facing stiff competition from the Pan India Star Prabhas and his mass action entertainer Salaar, directed by Prashanth Neel and releasing on December 22, Dunki is currently leading the race. With over 150,000 tickets already sold, anticipation is building, especially as Dunki is slated to feature early morning shows.
The stellar cast includes Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, each playing crucial roles. Dunki draws inspiration from real-life experiences, unfolding the narrative of four friends embarking on a challenging yet transformative journey to foreign lands in pursuit of their dreams.
In an unprecedented move, the dedicated fan club SRK Universe, recognized as the largest Shah Rukh Khan fan community, is organizing the first-ever 5.55 am show for Dunki at Mumbai's iconic Gaiety Cinema on its release day. This early morning spectacle follows the fan club's successful initiatives, including the first-ever 9 am show for Pathaan and the first 6 am show for Jawan at the same venue.
Shah Rukh Khan continues to reign not only at the box office but also in the hearts of his ardent fans, further solidifying his status as the top Asian celebrity in the world and the savior of Bollywood.
