Shah Rukh Khan‘s Dunki released with a lot of promise as it starred the one of the most popular stars of 2023 in a movie directed by Rajkumar Hirani but the film hasn’t performed as well as it was expected. The film’s daily earnings were already in single-digits and on Friday, they went further down. The film only managed to make Rs 7.25 crore in India on Friday, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. The domestic nett box office collection of the Rajkumar Hirani directorial stands at 167.47 crore.
As with most Shah Rukh films, Dunki is also attracting the global audience. According to Red Chillies Entertainment, the film minted Rs 323.77 crore worldwide in eight days. Dunki is being critically compared to SRK’s last two films, Pathaan and Jawaan, which earned a collective total of over Rs 2000 crore globally. Even though Dunki has done decent business at the box office, the film has not matched up to the hype that comes with a SRK or Hirani film.

On Friday, Dunki saw a rise in its overall occupancy with 20.74 percent in comparison to Thursday’s 14.36 percent. The film had 553 shows in Mumbai which saw 28.25 percent occupancy, and in Delhi-NCR region, the film had around 777 shows, which saw an occupancy of 17.25 occupancy. Dunki is competing against Prabhas’ Salaar, which recently passed the Rs 500 crore mark globally, and Rs 100 crore in the Hindi market.
2023 has been the best year for Shah Rukh Khan in his entire career so far. His three films did a collective total of Rs 2538.77 crore worldwide which was quite a feat. Shah Rukh is yet to announce his next film.
