Shah Rukh Khan‘s Dunki raked in Rs 30 crore net at the domestic box office on its opening day, according to industry tracker Sacnilk.
Dunki, a comedy-drama based on an illegal immigration technique ‘donkey flight’, was released in theatres worldwide on Thursday. It also features Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover.
“‘Dunki’ earned Rs 30 crore India net on its first day for all languages,” PTI reported.
The Rajkumar Hirani-directorial film marks Shah Rukh’s third and last release of 2023 following back-to-back action blockbusters in Pathaan and Jawan.
The day one earnings of Dunki are significantly lower than both Pathaan and Jawan, which had amassed Rs 55 crore and Rs 65.5 crore net on their opening days in India respectively. The two movies went on to earn over Rs 1000 crore at the worldwide box office.
Billed as a saga of friendships, borders, nostalgia for home, and love, Dunki is directed by Hirani from a script he co-wrote with Abhijaat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon.
