Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film, Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and featuring Taapsee Pannu, continues its triumphant journey at the box office. On its 17th day, the movie experienced a minor surge, grossing ₹2.75 crore on Saturday. According to Sacnilk, Dunki has maintained its stronghold even after more than two weeks in domestic theaters.
Day 17 Highlights: Dunki is expected to achieve ₹2.75 crore on its 17th day, surpassing its previous day’s collection by over ₹1 crore. This brings the film’s total domestic collection to an impressive ₹211.47 crore.
Shah Rukh’s 2023 Box Office Triumph: In 2023, Shah Rukh Khan achieved a remarkable hat trick at the box office. His films, Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, collectively grossed over ₹2,600 crore worldwide. This exceptional feat, earning $117 million globally, sets Shah Rukh apart as the only Indian superstar to achieve such success in a single year across traditional international markets.
All three of Shah Rukh’s films are currently concurrently running in theaters. Starting the year with Pathaan, delving into the spy universe, and following up with the action-packed Jawan, Shah Rukh concluded 2023 with Dunki, a heartwarming non-action film that resonated with audiences.
Global Recognition and Unique Achievements: Dunki made history by being featured at Le Grand Rex, Europe’s largest cinema, on Christmas evening, becoming the first Bollywood Hindi film showcased there. The film’s song, Lutt Putt Gaya, added to its charm by being presented in front of iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Arc De Triomphe in Paris.
What Lies Ahead: As fans eagerly await Shah Rukh Khan’s next project, the actor hints at taking on an “age-related” role in the future. Despite uncertainties, Dunki’s success and global recognition contribute to Shah Rukh’s enduring legacy in the world of Indian cinema.
