The highly anticipated movies Dunki and Salaar will meet in cinemas during the Christmas season, causing a box office explosion. The December 22 release date has been set for both Prabhas’ Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire and Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki. The bulk of moviegoers are not in support of this clash and are nearly certain that Salaar may suffer amid odds of Shah Rukh Khan scoring a hat-trick of enormous blockbusters given his two back-to-back 1000 crore films this year.
In the midst of the Dunki vs. Salaar discussion, a video from Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees was published on Reddit, and fans wasted no time in commenting.
Messing with a man who had two 1000cr+ movies within a span of 8 months is foolishđź’€

A Reddit user said, “Very unprofessional of Salaar makers to do so out of nowhere. If the same thing was done by SRK/Dunki makers then all hell would’ve been broken and people would’ve called SRK names.” Another added, “Stupidity by the makers of Salaar. Unfortunately both the movies will be affected.” A comment read, “They are underestimating Rajkumar Hirani mass movies are generally have a audience of teenagers and Hirani’s films are family friendly movies and also SRK has the overseas audience.” Another said: “Dude, Prabhas literally changed the date cuz of Jawan. Wtf are they doing again or are they trolling us?”
A movie freak wrote, “Director Prashanth Neel and Box office clash has become a matter of routine. KGF Chapter 1 vs Zero, KGF Chapter 2 vs Beast, Salaar vs Dunki. Another brutal thrash loading.” Another added, “Are they trying to go for Barbenheimer marketing tactics?”
Another added, “Gotta feel bad for Prabhas. The producers are just setting him up for failure. Who even decides to go against SRK in the most commercially successful year of his career?” A comment read, “Salaar will not find an audience in Hindi belt as much as Dunki.”
While on the other hand, suggestions poured in. Someone conferred a suggestion for the same and wrote, “They could’ve released it a week prior or after.”
While some suggested that Salaar will manage to combat the anticipation that movie-goers have for Dunki. A comment read, “Salaar will do equally good if not better. Dunki won’t be a mass appealing movie, hence it’s unlikely to make big collections like Jawan.” A person commented, “You guys are seriously delusional. Dunki isn’t a mass commercial movie like Pathan or Jawaan. People thought the same when KGF clashed with Zero.”
Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, Jagapathi Babu, Tinnu Anand, Easwari Rao, Sriya Reddy, and Ramachandra Raju are among the other actors who appear in Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, which was written and directed by Prashanth Neel.
Rajkumar Hirani co-wrote and directed the movie Dunki, which also features Taapsee Pannu, Dia Mirza, and Boman Irani. Vicky Kaushal also makes a brief appearance. Its central topic is a voyage that alters one’s life.
