New Delhi: Despite stiff competition from Prabhas’ Salaar, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki is steadily increasing its box office take. The fourth day saw a 23% increase for the Rajkumar Hirani picture, which helped it earn Rs 31.5 crores and guarantee a position in the 100-crore club.
Based on the statistics gathered by industry tracker Sacnilk, Dunki has crossed the Rs 100-crore club at the Indian box office. The film has earned a total of Rs 117.91 crore so far.
Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore, among other Indian cities, had very good occupancy rates all day long for Rajkumar Hirani’s family-friendly picture. While Sunday’s rise is encouraging, Dunki will need to build on that momentum with strongholds in the days to come.

The collections are decent, but they need to improve more in the coming days to fight with Salaar, starring Prabhas.
