On Day 3, 'Dunki' demonstrated a promising surge, netting Rs 25 crores, contributing to its overall success. Despite facing challenges like capacity constraints in metropolitan areas, the film's box office prospects appear favorable, with the cumulative collection reaching Rs 73 crores in just three days.

The film needs to demonstrate promise to ensure robust numbers, carrying it through the new year until the release of 'Fighter' on Republic Day weekend in 2024.
Internationally, 'Dunki' has exhibited commendable performance, garnering $5 million in the first two days. Projections suggest that it will reach $10 million during its extended four-day weekend. The film's overseas earnings through the new year will play a pivotal role in determining whether it can achieve a cumulative international gross of over $20 million.
