As the highly anticipated release of Shah Rukh Khan’s latest project, ‘Dunki,’ directed by Rajkumar Hirani, hit theaters on Thursday, it promised audiences a laughter-packed experience.
According to reports, Dunki earned ₹30 crore nett in India on its first day across all languages. This marks the lowest opening for a Shah Rukh Khan movie this year. In comparison, ‘Pathaan,’ as reported by Sacnilk.com, raked in ₹57 crore on its first day, while ‘Jawan’ earned ₹89.5 crore. Despite this, Dunki made a ‘good start’ at the domestic box office.
Thursday morning saw drumbeats, dancing, and confetti as the film premiered in theaters, eliciting excitement from fans despite tepid reviews from critics. Dunki is Shah Rukh’s third film this year, following the blockbuster hits ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan.’ While the film centers on illegal immigration in a comedic drama, it did not generate the same frenzy as Shah Rukh’s earlier releases.
Early morning shows took place in various parts of the country, with fans in Udaipur, Mumbai, and Jammu celebrating the release. In Kolkata, fans garlanded and poured milk on giant Shah Rukh cutouts, while a group in Guwahati cut a cake in celebration.
Despite the festive atmosphere, Dunki faces stiff competition from Prabhas and Prashanth Neel’s action-packed thriller, ‘Salaar,’ also scheduled for release on the same day. Leading the pre-booking race, Salaar has already accumulated ₹13.50 crores in advance sales, setting the stage for a gripping box office battle.
Starring Shah Rukh Khan as Harrdy, Dunki boasts stellar performances from Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal. The film revolves around the intriguing theme of illegal immigration, exploring the unconventional concept of “Donkey Flights.” Produced under the esteemed banners of Red Chillies Entertainment and Jio Studios, Dunki has heightened anticipation for its potential success.
Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback in 2023 has been remarkable, with ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’ receiving critical acclaim and immense box office success. Despite Salaar’s tough competition, expectations are high for Dunki. Director Atlee predicts it will become Shah Rukh Khan’s highest-grossing film to date. As the release approaches, industry analysts and fans eagerly await the box office clash between Dunki and Salaar. Both films are poised to leave an indelible mark on the cinematic calendar for 2023.
