Box office: 'Dunki' struggles, sees massive drop in collections
What's the story
Shah Rukh Khan is undoubtedly the actor of the year, delivering three back-to-back hits at the box office.
However, his latest dramedy, Dunki, is the weakest of his three 2023 releases and has been slow in terms of box office collection amid competition from Salaar.
Nevertheless, the film is marching toward the Rs. 300 crore mark globally even as it seeks stability on weekdays.
