The year 2023 in Bollywood has been nothing short of a roller coaster, with its fair share of twists and turns at the box office after the lull at the theatres for a few years. Shah Rukh Khan, the undeniable king of Bollywood, kicked off the year with a bang with Pathaan, which set the cash registers ringing. However, the year concluded on a slightly different note, with Dunki experiencing a dip in its earnings, marking its lowest single-day figure at Rs 9 crore.
Dunki opened with approximately Rs 30 crore when it was released on December 21. The film’s director, Rajkumar Hirani, might not have replicated the thunderous opening of Pathaan, which raked in Rs 57 crore on its first day, and Jawan, which achieved Rs 75 crore in first-day collections. Despite the decline, it is expected to comfortably surpass Rs 200 crores during the weekend until Monday (January 1) in India. However, Dunki is drawing audiences internationally. It has surpassed the R300 crore milestone in global collections. And is expected to easily exceed the Rs 350 crore mark by Sunday.
