Three major films, ‘Salaar’ starring Prabhas, ‘Dunki’ featuring Shah Rukh Khan, and ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ are set to light up screens globally on December 21st/22nd. While ‘Salaar’ leads in runtime with 2 hours and 55 minutes, ‘Dunki’ clocks in at 2 hours and 41 minutes.
Surprisingly, ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ is the shortest at 2 hours and 4 minutes. ‘Salaar’ revolves around two friends, Deva and Vardha, promising an entertaining saga. ‘Dunki,’ directed by Rajkumar Hirani, explores the theme of illegal immigration using the ‘Donkey Flight’ method.
Meanwhile, the Hollywood flick ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ might benefit from its shorter runtime by potentially securing more screenings in theaters. The clash between these cinematic giants is creating a buzz among movie enthusiasts, with intense competition expected during this festive season.
Despite the anticipation for these releases, trade analysts caution that the Hollywood heavyweight might pose a challenge for the Indian films at the box office. Advance bookings overseas are showing promising trends, and some centers in India have also opened bookings. The stage is set for an exhilarating Christmas season for movie buffs, eagerly awaiting the spectacle and showdown among these three major films.
