Dunki box office collection day 20. Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s third release of the year is now clocking numbers in the range of Rs 1 crore per day, as the comedy drama prepares to pretty much close its run at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dunki netted Rs 1.3 cr on its third Tuesday.
Director Rajkumar Hirani’s film appears to have lost all steam after the holiday season bump. The film’s domestic total now stands at Rs 219.27 cr, which is around a third of what Shah Rukh’s Jawan earned last year, and less than half of what Pathaan made a year ago. Till Monday, the film had grossed Rs 447.70 cr worldwide according to official figures by Red Chillies Entertainment. Both Jawan and Pathaan grossed more than Rs 1000 crore globally.

After it crosses the Rs 450 cr mark in India, the film will then aim to break the record of another Hirani film, 3 Idiots. The Aamir Khan-starrer had grossed a whopping Rs 460 cr globally back in 2009. Dunki will cross 3 Idiots, but will fall short of Hirani’s last film, Sanju. The Ranbir Kapoor-starrer had minted Rs 588 cr worldwide in 2018.
On the global stage, Dunki is also likely to chase down the collections of Salman Khan–Katrina Kaif fronted Tiger 3, which had clocked Rs 464 cr last year. This, however, is still a disappointing number especially in the context of how box office in 2023 truly exploded, partly thanks to Shah Rukh himself.
Besides Jawan and Pathaan, Gadar 2 and Animal did business of Rs 686 cr and Rs 900 cr, respectively. Dunki has managed to deliver Rs 450 cr despite a clash with Salaar, and with average audience reception, though the expectations were sky high considering it was directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
