The film received a significant boost when the Revanth Reddy-led Telangana government permitted 1 a.m. presentations on day one across select screens. From December 22 to 28, the state government permitted single screens and multiplexes to raise ticket rates for the Hombale Films-produced Salaar by Rs 65 and Rs 100, respectively.
Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan, is behind the commercial actioner starring Prabhas. In India, Dunki sold roughly 3.65 lakh tickets for approximately Rs 10.39 crore. Maharashtra, Delhi, West Bengal, Telangana, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, and Assam are the top contributors to the film’s exceptional advance booking statistics in India.
Following Salaar’s advance booking response, trade analyst and film critic Sumit Kadel said on X, formerly Twitter, “Dunki has collected approx. 8 crore net for its Day 1 via pre-sale.” Before the initial showings on Thursday, the movie aims to raise an advance of Rs 14-15 crore net (Day 1).”
