Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki box office collection, producers comment & more
Despite a slow start in its second week, Dunki managed to stay afloat on day 15, as mentioned earlier. This brought the domestic net collections to a solid $24.8 million.
The global box office collections, vouched for by the film’s producers Red Chillies Entertainment, stands at a whopping $50.1 million. However, it faces a formidable challenge to surpass the $60 million mark, given the dominance of Salaar at the box office.
For Shah Rukh Khan, 2023 has been nothing short of a blockbuster year with previous releases, Pathaan and Jawan, both crossing the $120 million mark globally.
Drawing comparisons with Rajkumar Hirani’s past successes, it’s interesting to note that 3 Idiots ran for nearly 11 weeks in India. Meanwhile, the Aamir Khan starrer PK touched $95 million globally, benefitting from a successful release in China.
The question arises: Can Dunki match the staggering global success of SRK’s previous movies? As of now, it appears to be difficult as the film is yet to cross the $60 million mark and the audience’s interest seems to be staggering.
Beyond the box office numbers, Dunki has sparked discussion about the impact of films on society. Uunchai Producer Mahaveer Jain stated, “Films such as Dunki, 12th Fail, and Uunchai play a crucial role in shaping our society. While they may have performed well at the box office, their true success lies in the positive impact they have made on the minds and hearts of the audience.”
However, it will be interesting to see how much Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki finally earns at the box office.
