Rajkumar Hirani has always delivered huge hits at the Box Office. Be it in terms of content or Box Office, Rajkumar Hirani has never failed to score high. Dunki has underperformed at the Box Office due to its poor content, but has somehow managed to post a respectable total.
Shah Rukh Khan’s star power, Rajkumar Hirani’s brand value, Christmas Holiday and New Year weekend had helped Dunki to cross the 200 cr mark at the Box Office.
Shah Rukh Khan had delivered 2 back to back All Time Grossers in the form of Pathaan and Jawan in 2023, which somewhat gave a boost to Dunki in collections. Had Dunki released before these 2 films, even 100 cr would have been a difficult task. SRK has ruled the year 2023 like a King.
Dunki had crossed the 200 cr mark yesterday and today it has gone past the lifetime numbers of Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots. Dunki has collected 203. cr nett in 13 days.
Have a look below at the top 4 highest grossing films of Rajkumar Hirani:
| Sr No. | Films | Year | Collection |
| 1] | Sanju | 2018 | 342.53 cr |
| 2] | PK | 2014 | 340.80 cr |
| 3] | Dunki | 2023 | 203.08 cr |
| 4] | 3 Idiots | 2009 | 202.95 cr |
Dunki will end up emerging as the 3rd highest grossing film of Rajkumar Hirani as the numbers of Sanju and PK are out of the reach. This has happened for the first time that any film of Rajkumar Hirani has not been able to cross the collections of his previous film. Lage Raho Munna Bhai collected more than Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., 3 Idiots collected more than Lage Raho Munna Bhai, PK earned more than 3 Idiots and Sanju also went past the numbers of PK. Dunki was a potential record grosser, but the numbers got affected due to its poor content.
Dunki is directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The film is produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani.
