Dunki Box Office 300 Crore Rampage! Crosses 6 Films At The Worldwide Box Office… (Picture Credit: Youtube)
Yes, better was expected from Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki back home, but it has somehow balanced its act by bringing in reasonable figures from the overseas box office. A fun fact: The film’s overseas figures are just 18% lower than the numbers it has been earning domestically in India.
It also looks like in a day or two, Dunki will match its overseas & domestic figures to make the scenario ‘perfectly balanced, as all things should be.’ Adding to Wednesday’s collection, the film has entered the 300 crore club at the worldwide box office.
It now stands at 305 crores (worldwide), with overseas earnings comprising 125.63 crores of that chunk. The Indian (nett) collections are 152.01 crores, which would take its gross figure to 179.37 crores.

‘Bhed Chaal’ is a Hindi proverb very much used in relation to the Hindi film industry. It means that one huge success is followed by numerous other attempts. Original ideas are at a premium in the Hindi film industry. The makers either depend on a foreign film, or a novel, or a South Indian film for a subject.
Filmmakers always want to play safe because the risk factor is always high. The distributor, while being wined and dined, gets a sales pitch, like “Zanjeer se kam nahi hamari picture…” and such. Many smaller-budget imitations of ‘Sholay’, ‘Zanjeer’, ‘Deewaar’ and other such films flooded the market. That is to say, if one action film worked, many more were certain to follow.
With the introduction of the video format followed by CDs, the trend changed to copying Hollywood films. A star was sent two videos or discs to watch, and they were...

EntertainmentSome of these films have retained the origins of the character though the language is Hindi while others have completely changed their identity. Tnm StaffThe newly released biopic Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl has opened to good reviews but has also snowballed into a controversy for supposedly distorting facts about the Indian Air Force. More importantly, the film does not show Iaf pilot Sreevidya Rajan from Kerala, who also served in the Kargil war with Gunjan. Sreevidya has, in fact, said that she was the first woman Iaf officer to fly in a combat zone and not Gunjan as the film suggests. Though the makers have said that the film is a fictionalised account, it has drawn sharp criticism for these departures. While Bollywood has made several biopics and films based on real life incidents, the southern industries are slowly catching up with the trend. Perhaps in future, south Indian...
