Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani’s social drama “Dunki” is performing exceptionally well at the box office, both in India and worldwide.
The film has officially crossed the 400 crore mark globally, as per the figures shared by Red Chillies Entertainment. The SRK-led film has also breached the the 200 crores Nett collection mark in India today on 2nd January. The strong word of mouth and family-audience appeal are contributing to its steady run at the box office after an underwhelming start when released on December 21st.
The movie’s lead cast is led by Shah Rukh Khan, Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal (extended cameo), Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover.
Produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan, “Dunki” is a JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films presentation. It was released on December 21, and positive reviews seem to have propelled its performance at the box office despite the big clash with pan-Indian action thriller ‘Salaar’, headlined by Prabhas and KGF series director Prashant Neel, which released worldwide a day later also targeting the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
The social drama title’s day-wise box office figures in India and overseas, as well as the worldwide gross, showcase a consistent and impressive run at a time when Indian actions titles like ‘Jawan;, ‘Pathaan’, ‘Gadar 2’, ‘Leo’, ‘Jailer’, and ‘Animal’ are getting the blockbuster response.
