The Dunki release was turned into a lavish celebration by the fans of the superstar, who created a joyous atmosphere outside the Gaiety theatre in Mumbai. Their fondness for SRK was evident through the extravagant cutout of the actor, exuberant dhol performances, popping firecrackers, and much more. A number of images and videos from this enormous celebration by SRK fans went viral on social media, a testament to the hype the actor has amassed.

A sizable gathering of people can be seen celebrating Dunki's release by dancing to the sounds of dhol and setting off fireworks in videos posted by Shah Rukh's fan clubs. Outside of a theatre, a large cutout of SRK was also spotted. The fandom can be witnessed across India and even managed to grab SRK's attention. Shah Rukh took to X to express his gratitude to the fans for their love and excitement for the film, writing, "Thank u guys and girls have a good show and hope u all get entertained by #Dunki."

Meanwhile, social media was flooded with reviews of the film. While many social media users have praised Dunki as a masterpiece, others have expressed disappointment, labelling it as Hirani's least strong work to date. Taking to X, a fan wrote: "#OneWordReview... #Dunki : O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G. It's a MASTERPIECE.
