Box Office: Dunki and Salaar (Hindi) bring almost Rs. 20 crores on Tuesday after an extended holiday weekend run

Two Big Movies, Two Big Battles:

Two big movies, “Dunki” and “Salaar” (Hindi), arrived at the box office just one day apart, sparking a fierce competition. Both are still raking in the cash even after Christmas and into the weekdays. Together, they’ve crossed Rs. 20 crore, but experts say each could have done even better if they hadn’t released so close together.

Dunki Takes a Dip, But Still Shines:

“Dunki” saw a big drop after its opening day, earning Rs. 9.75 crore on Tuesday compared to Rs. 29.20 crore on Thursday. However, releasing on Thursday has its perks – the total collection is already higher. By Thursday, it’s expected to comfortably pass Rs. 150 crore.

Salaar Holds Steady, with a Little Help?:

“Salaar” (Hindi) reached Rs. 74 crore in five days. While Tuesday’s Rs. 9 crore collection shows good hold compared to Friday’s Rs. 15.50 crore, some booking apps show unusual patterns of bulk bookings in specific theaters. While it’s unclear if these are corporate bookings or something else, ultimately, ticket sales are what matter. Hopefully, this is just a temporary measure, as “Salaar” has strong audience support and potential to reach Rs. 150 crore too.

The Bottom Line:

Both “Dunki” and “Salaar” are doing well at the box office, though releasing so close together hurt their individual potential. Still, both have the power to cross Rs. 150 crore and keep audiences entertained in the holiday season.

Key Points:

• Dunki saw a big drop but is still on track to cross Rs. 150 crore.
• Salaar is doing well, with possible support from bulk bookings.
• Both films have potential to be box office hits.
