Despite clashing with the Prabhas starrer ‘Salaar‘ at the box office last month, Rajkumar Hirani‘s Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Dunki’ has been doing well at the box office. According to numbers shared by the makers of the film, Dunki has grossed over Rs 400 crore at the global box office.
‘Dunki’ has demonstrated strong performance at the box office despite facing competition from Prabhas’ ‘Salaar: Cease Fire – Part 1,’ which has dominated the box office scene. The latter film achieved global success by joining the Rs 600 crore club within 10 days of its release on December 22.

Accompanied by a poster displaying Dunki’s latest box office figures, Red Chillies Entertainment, the film’s makers, took to Twitter, stating, “Our Banda (person) and his ullu de patthe (friends) are reaching new heights at the box office with your endless love…” The poster’s caption emphasized the film’s success, reading, “Filling the box office with happiness… ₹400.4 crore…”

Following the blockbusters ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan,’ ‘Dunki’ marked Shah Rukh Khan’s third film of 2023. The movie delves into the concept of ‘Donkey Flight,’ a perilous and unlawful technique employed by individuals to enter countries like the US, UK, and Canada. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee, the film also features an ensemble cast including Boman Irani, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Grover, and Vikram Kochhar.

On working with Shah Rukh, Rajkumar Hirani also told ANI, “You always want to make a movie with a meaningful and good story. Shah Rukh liked the story from the beginning. After doing action movies, as an actor, he also wanted to do something different and this is the reason he was very involved and happy about it. I also wanted to work with SRK for so long and, ‘mere liye vo baat puri ho gayi (I was able to complete my wish)’ and finally we worked together and ‘bahut maza aaya (We had a lot of fun)’.”

He had also said, “SRK was very curious about this story… he is a brave man and brave actor… he was very happy with the story, I wanted to work with Shah Rukh Khan since a long time… he is a great man who showers love on everybody.”
