Shah Rukh Khan’s much-anticipated comeback film, Dunki, opened to decent but not spectacular numbers on Thursday. However, Day 2 has seen a significant drop in collections, raising questions about the film’s long-term prospects. While it’s still early to call it a hit or flop, let’s dive into the box office figures and analyze what might be causing the dip.
Day 2 Earnings: A Cause for Concern?
Reports suggest that Dunki raked in around Rs. 20.5 crore on its second day in India, marking a substantial drop from its opening day collection of Rs. 30 crore. This represents a decline of nearly 33%, which is certainly noteworthy. The film’s total Indian net collection now stands at approximately Rs. 50 crore after two days.
Red Chillies Entertainment, the film’s production house, painted a rosy picture, claiming a global “Gross Box Office Collection” (GBOC) of ₹58 crore on opening day. However, trade analyst Sacnilk offered a less enthusiastic domestic figure of ₹35 crore gross, with an additional ₹23 crore gross coming from international markets.
