Analysis: Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani chose an APT release date for Dunki; the film to have the ADVANTAGE of two LONG weekends

However, an industry insider told Bollywood Hungama why Dunki’s makers shouldn’t worry, “It’s a Rajkumar Hirani film. There’s no way the word of mouth will be bad. Even if it is, the audience would still watch the film at least once. That’s the kind of trust that Hirani enjoys. Secondly, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan clash won’t affect Dunki as it’s a very big holiday period. Both films, in fact, won’t eat into each other’s business and can thrive. Lastly, there’s no chance a biggie would release a week after Dunki and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. Who would want to come and risk their expensive film a week after the release of such big movies? Hence, Dunki, in my opinion, is a winner and will boost Shah Rukh Khan’s stardom!”
