New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan on Sunday greeted his fans from his house ‘Mannat’, days after his third film of the year ‘Dunki’ hit the theatres. The film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, has collected Rs 157.22 crore at the worldwide box office. 


In the video circulating on social media, Shah Rukh was seen making an appearance on the balcony of his home Mannat for his fans stationed outside. He greeted the fans with folded hands, flying kisses and struck his signature arms wide open pose. 




‘Dunki’, also starring Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences. The film, though performing well, is not doing as great as the superstar’s ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’, which had collected Rs 1000 crore each at the worldwide box office. 


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. 


The film, produced by JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment and Rajkumar Hirani Films, is facing a tough competition from Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s ‘Salaar.’  


The Prashanth Neel directorial has collected Rs 295 crore at the worldwide box office in two days. 


Dunki is based on an illegal immigration technique 'donkey flight’ and is written by Hirani, Abhijaat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon. 


 ABP Live's review of the film read, "'Dunki' will take you on an emotional journey, even if it doesn't seem like a masterpiece is on its way. While it is undoubtedly not as spectacular as his past movies, the social drama is nevertheless delivered in an upright tone. Vicky Kaushal makes an outstanding appearance, and you do get back the charming Shah Rukh Khan. Finally, unlike the romanticized depictions of violence in movies, 'Dunki' is a family-friendly film that makes you feel good when you walk out of the theater."
