Reportedly, this marks the lowest collection among all three films featuring SRK this year. 'Pathaan' commenced with Rs 57 crore nett, while 'Jawaan' garnered Rs 75 crores on its opening day. 'Dunki' is Shah Rukh's third release this year. Earlier, Sacnilk.com reported that the film grossed â¹20 crore as it experienced a drop at the box office following an opening of â¹30 crore on the first day. This decline could be attributed to the release of Prabhas starrer 'Salaar.'
The Prashanth Neel directorial, 'Salaar,' had a monumental opening on Friday, raking in Rs 95 crores in India. Trade analyst and business expert Ramesh Bala previously shared information about the film, stating, "Early estimates for Dunki day 2 all-India NBOC is â¹21 crore+ NBOC weekend will be big."
Apart from Shah Rukh, the film 'Dunki' stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover. Penned by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon, 'Dunki' is a heartfelt narrative depicting the journey of four friends striving to reach foreign shores. It portrays their challenging yet life-altering expedition in pursuit of their dreams. Rooted in real-life experiences, 'Dunki' weaves together diverse tales of love and friendship, delivering both humor and poignant moments.
On the other hand, 'Salaar: Cease Fire - Part 1' revolves around a gang leader's commitment to his dying friend as he embarks on a mission to confront other criminal gangs. With stellar performances by Prabhas, Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Jagapathi Babu, this film promises a captivating visual and emotional spectacle."
