Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan, had a good opening at the box office. On December 21, Rajkumar Hirani’s film was released in theaters. At the box office, Prabhas’ “Salaar” clashed with SRK’s third release of the year. ‘Dunki’ stars SRK in a leading role alongside Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu, and Boman Irani.
After delivering two back-to-back blockbusters ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’ this year, Shah Rukh Khan’s third film ‘Dunki’ released in theatres on December 21, ahead of Christmas. Despite being a non-holiday release, the film witnessed a great start at the box office. After earning Rs 29.2 crore on the first day, the Rajkumar Hirani film minted Rs 20 crore on the second day, as per early estimates. This brings the total tally to Rs 49.20 crore.
With a rate of 46%, Mumbai had the highest occupancy, followed closely by Chennai at 40%. Kolkata was last, at 38.75%. The occupancy rate for Delhi, NCR was reported to be 33%. Given the widespread Christmas celebrations and holidays, the movie should do well at the box office.
The ensemble cast of “Dunki” includes Shah Rukh Khan, Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, all of whom play vibrant characters. Produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan, the film is a presentation of JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films. Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon wrote the script for the movie.
