Shah Rukh Khan’s film Dunki continues to gain momentum at the box office, despite facing tough competition from Prabhas’ Salaar. On the fourth day, the movie witnessed a significant increase of approximately 25 percent, earning Rs 31.50 crores and securing its position in the 100 crore club. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dunki earned Rs 29.20 crore on its opening day, followed by Rs 20.12 crore on its first Friday and Rs 25.61 crore on its first Saturday.
In India, Dunki has collected Rs 108 crore at the box office, while its worldwide collection stands at an estimated Rs 215 crore. On Sunday, the film recorded a Hindi occupancy rate of 49.67 percent, with an increase in the evening.
