‘Dunki’ did wonders on Saturday, for the first time it earned more than ‘Salaar’, but now there is no benefit
For the first time, Shahrukh Khan’s film has won in the battle of ‘Dunki’ versus ‘Salaar’. On Saturday, the 24th day of its release, ‘Dunki’ has earned more than Prabhas’s film for the first time. However, now there is no special benefit from it, because the condition of both the films has deteriorated and now their bags are about to be folded. The situation of sluggishness at the box office is such that while Bollywood’s new release ‘Merry Christmas’ has made a net collection of Rs 3 crore on Saturday, the second day of its release, ‘Dunki’ and ‘Salaar’ together have also made a business of Rs 1.5 crore. Couldn’t do it.
Dunki Collection Day 24: ‘Dunki’, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, did a business of Rs 55 lakh on Friday. According to sacnilk, the film has made a net collection of Rs 80 lakh on Saturday, the 24th day. In this way, the total collection of ‘Dunki’ in the country is now Rs 223.22 crore. This film is still behind the earning of Rs 227 crore of Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Chennai Express’. The lifetime earnings of Taapsee Pannu and Shahrukh starrer ‘Dunki’ are also likely to be around this. However, the next big release in theaters is Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone’s ‘Fighter’ on January 25. In such a situation, there are still 10 more days to earn. Salman Khan’s ‘Tiger 3’ did a business of Rs 233 crore this year. It will be interesting to see whether ‘Dunki’ is able to cross this figure.
Worldwide collection of ‘Dunki’
Dunki Worldwide Collection: The budget of ‘Dunki’ is Rs 120 crore. The film has earned a profit of more than Rs 100 crore in the country compared to its cost. Whereas worldwide it has made a gross collection of Rs 439.50 crore in 24 days. Shahrukh Khan’s film has made a gross collection of Rs 172 crore in foreign countries. There has been a gross collection of Rs 267.50 crore in the country. The audience occupancy of the film in the country on Saturday was 21%.
Newly released films spoiled the mathematics of ‘Salaar’
Salaar Collection Day 23: On the other hand, the falling earnings of Prabhas’ ‘Salaar’ have been further dealt a blow by the newly released films of South. The business of ‘Salaar’ in South theaters has been affected due to Teja Sajja’s ‘Hanuman’, Mahesh Babu’s ‘Guntur Karam’ and Dhanush’s ‘Captain Miller’ releasing on Friday. This film, directed by Prashant Neel, has collected a net collection of Rs 65 lakh on Saturday, the 23rd day of its release. In this way, the total collection of the film in the country is now Rs 402.95 crore. The budget of the film is also Rs 400 crore. In such a situation, it has failed to make profits at the Indian box office like ‘Dunki’.
Worldwide collection of ‘Salaar’
Salaar Worldwide Collection: ‘Salaar’ has made a gross collection of around Rs 2 crore in the global market on Saturday. Thus the worldwide total of the film is Rs 714.16 crore. The makers are now preparing to dub and release this film in Japan as well, in such a situation the earnings of the film may increase further.
