There are several reactions to the trailer, with some calling it "blockbuster", while others found it "very mid."
For the unversed, 'Dunki' marks the first collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani. In the latest entertainment news, 'Dunki' trailer has become the most-watched Hindi trailer ever in the first 24 hours on YouTube, as reported by industry tracker Sacnilk.

Talking about 'Dunki', the movie also stars Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani and Vicky Kaushal. The film is based on 'donkey flight', an illegal immigration entry technique into countries like the US, UK and Canada.
'Dunki' has been written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon and it has been bankrolled by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan.
Speaking of 'Salaar', the film directed by Prashanth Neel, also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan.
Earlier, Prashanth Neel said that no filmmaker desires a clash, be it with a newcomer or a veteran like Rajkumar Hirani.
"Clash is not something you ideally want, be it with a newcomer or with the biggest star of Indian cinema. But it is a very unpleasant situation for anybody to move their date to somebody else's date. We also wouldn't want somebody to move to our date when we have announced it a year before. And we also did not want to do it. But that was a logistical decision that was taken only by the production," Prashanth Neel told Times of India.
"And usually we (me and my team) don't get into the aspects of what the production is going to decide as a release date, because they do not interfere in my process of filmmaking. So I do not interfere in their process of marketing or the release dates, the business aspect," he added.
