“Dunki” now sets its sights on surpassing the overall earnings of the Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer “Chennai Express,” which collected Rs 227 crore in India and a staggering Rs 424.54 crore worldwide. Should “Dunki” achieve this milestone, it will secure its position as SRK’s third-highest domestic grosser, with “Jawan” and “Pathaan” leading the chart.
The collaborative effort between SRK and Rajkumar Hirani, “Dunki,” is a noteworthy comedy-drama that also features stellar performances from Boman Irani, Vicky Kaushal, and Taapsee Pannu in pivotal roles.
