Shah Rukh Khan has scored yet another smash hit with his latest release ‘Dunki’. The Rajkumar Hirani directorial, which hit theaters on December 22nd, has won over audiences worldwide with its heartwarming story and the superstar’s stellar performance.
According to production house Red Chillies Entertainment, ‘Dunki’ has amassed over Rs. 305 crore at the global box office within just 7 days of its release. This is a remarkable achievement for a standalone Hindi film.
In India alone, the family entertainer has grossed over Rs. 150 crore so far. It is enticing huge crowds of all age groups to theaters across the country. The film’s universal appeal and emotional resonance are cited as the major reasons behind its runaway success.
When quizzed by a fan during a recent #AskSRK session on which 2023 film – ‘Pathaan’, ‘Jawan’ or ‘Dunki’ – was most creatively satisfying for him, Shah Rukh answered ‘Dunki’ owing to the varied emotions his character gets to portray.
Also starring Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, Vicky Kaushal, and others, ‘Dunki’ chronicles the journey of two friends played by SRK and Kaushal, as emotional upheavals test their bond against the backdrop of immigration.
With Hirani helming the project and a stellar crew bringing the story to life, the film has clicked big time with critics and audiences. As it enters its second week, ‘Dunki’ will be looking to sustain its winning momentum at the box office through strong word-of-mouth publicity.
The current numbers prove that Shah Rukh’s career is soaring to an all-time high this year with back-to-back money-spinners. And he attributes his dream run in 2023 wholly to his fans’ unconditional love and support.
