The courtroom drama 'Neru,' starring the legendary Mohanlal and directed by the acclaimed Jeethu Joseph, continues its victorious stride at the Kerala box office, surpassing expectations and setting new benchmarks at KBO.
Within just 8 days, the film has garnered an impressive collection of Rs 21.55 crores, outpacing the performances of other notable releases like 'Dunki' and 'Salaar.' in the state.
Rajkumar Hirani helmed ‘Dunki’, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles, has
recorded a huge drop in numbers on day six. The film recorded a strong weekend and maintained
a positive trend on Monday as well, but witnessed a slump on Tuesday.
After scoring Rs 25.61 crore on Saturday, Rs 30.7 crore on Sunday and Rs 24.32 crore on
Monday, ‘Dunki’ raked in only Rs 9.04 crore on Tuesday, reports Sacnilk. The film recorded a
huge drop of 20.78 per cent. The film has scored a total collection of Rs 138.99 crore in six days,
at the domestic box office. At the worldwide box office, ‘Dunki’ has managed to earn over Rs
250 crore.
With many referring to the complex nature of their characters and vast storylines as reasons, directors are choosing to focus on two-part film series. This trend is growing in popularity. Although this strategy works well for some epic tales, such as 'KGF,' 'Ponniyin Selvan,' 'Baahubali,' and the next 'Pushpa' film, it is not always appropriate. But as 'Salaar: Part 1 Ceasefire' was just released, it shows that this approach can be rather useful when applied correctly.
Shah Rukh Khan's latest film Dunki saw a jump in its box office collections as the film crossed Rs 157.22 crore in worldwide box office collections on Sunday.
The Shah Rukh Khan-led film made Rs 29.20 crore on its opening day, Rs 20.12 crore on its first Friday, Rs 25.61 crore on its first Saturday and is estimated to have minted around Rs 31.50 crore on its first Sunday.
Shah Rukh Khan is all set to end 2023 with Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki, which will hit the theatres on December 21. A special screening of Dunki was held on Wednesday evening and the first reviews of the film have already started pouring in on social media.
Many social media users have termed Dunki as a masterpiece while some have expressed their disappointment calling it the weakest work from Hirani.
