Dunki Delivers Success Worldwide: Shah Rukh Khan's Starrer Crosses Rs.150 Crore Milestone

"Dunki", the comedy drama headlined by Shah Rukh Khan, has raised Rs 157.22 crore at the global box office, the makers on Sunday said. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film opened to tepid reviews upon its worldwide release on Thursday. It also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover.

Red Chillies Entertainment, one of the production houses behind "Dunki", shared the box office update on its official X page.

"The love for Dunki grows more and more each day and we're so grateful!" the banner captioned the post, which also stated that the film had grossed Rs 157.22 crore in worldwide box office collections.

Dunki tells the story of a group of friends from a small village in Punjab who share a common dream: to migrate to England for a better life. However, faced with the limitations of legal methods, they find themselves caught in the world of "Donkey Flight," an illegal backdoor route used to enter foreign countries.

The film revolves around four friends - Hardy (played by Shah Rukh Khan), Sukhi (Vicky Kaushal), Mannu (Taapsee Pannu), and Buggu (Vikram Kochhar) - who yearn for a brighter future they believe awaits them in England.

Unable to secure visas or passports, they take a leap of faith and enlist the help of an ex-armyman who promises to get them there through the illegal "Donkey Flight" route.
