According to a report in Pinkvilla, Dunki has been shot at just Rs 85 crore, and that’s all the money that has gone into the making of SRK starrer. Let us tell you these digits do not include its leading cast, Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, and Taapsee Pannu, and director Rajkumar Hirani’s fees. The film’s budget, including the print and publicity, is around Rs 120 crores, except the fees of producers SRK and Raju Hirani, who have a profit share.
Soon after a user shared the news on social media, netizens expressed their opinions on the same. Commenting on the post, a user wrote, “I love that the budget is under control. According to someone else, the budget sanctioned by SRK was 70 cr and the film went over budget by 15 crore which made it reach 85 crore. Easy to attain a blockbuster verdict with even 250-300 crore (ik the verdict depends on distributor price but with controlled budgets films usually get sold in a price around the budgets)”

While another said, “Hirani films have usually very controlled budget ( no lavish overseas long schedules) RCE are in a win-win position on this one.”
“This excludes SRK’S fees since he is the producer. Also Hirani’s as I think he is a producer too. So it makes sense,” wrote a third user.
The fourth one wrote, “And some people said SRK shouldn’t do an extended cameo in the small budget (40-60 c) movie with Suhana because he is a big star. idhar bhai sahab khudki movie 70 me kar raha hai.”
