Shah Rukh Khan’s cinematic journey in 2023 witnesses yet another milestone with “Dunki,” marking his third global blockbuster after “Pathaan” and “Jawan,” securing its position with a remarkable global box office collection of ₹436.40 crore in its 17-day theatrical run.
Red Chillies Entertainment, the creators behind “Dunki,” proudly announced the film’s ongoing success through an Instagram post, sharing a poster featuring Shah Rukh Khan and confirming the impressive global box office collection (GBOC). Encouraging audiences to continue their support by watching the movie in theaters, the film’s production house emphasized the sustained streak of “Dunki” fueled by audience affection.
Notably, “Dunki” showcases an estimated ₹212.32 crore net collection in India, with a noticeable surge in Saturday’s box office performance compared to Friday, according to insights from Sacnilk.com. Shah Rukh Khan’s commendable cinematic endeavors in 2023, including “Pathaan” amassing ₹1050.30 crore and “Jawan” grossing ₹1148.32 crore globally, further validate his exceptional year in the industry.
Surpassing the ₹400 crore milestone, “Dunki” continues to thrive and is anticipated to extend its successful run in the coming days. The collective box office earnings of the three films are projected to reach $117 million globally by the year-end, reinforcing Shah Rukh Khan’s enduring global appeal and box office prowess.
Despite a formidable clash with Prashanth Neel’s “Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire,” “Dunki” exhibits resilience, sustaining its impressive performance worldwide and securing steady business. Notably, “Dunki” made history as the inaugural Bollywood movie showcased at Le Grand Rex in Europe during Christmas evening, further amplifying its international recognition.
“Dunki” narrates the compelling tale of Manu Randhawa (Taapsee Pannu), a homesick individual yearning to return to India alongside her friends Buggu Lakhanpal (Vikram Kochhar) and Balli (Anil Grover). Unable to secure a visa from the British embassy, Manu seeks assistance from her former love interest, Hardy alias Hardayal Singh Dhillon (Shah Rukh Khan) in Punjab, as her only hope for a solution.
