The success of Dunki has not only showcased Khan's star power but has also highlighted the growing prominence of Indian productions in the global market. This success reflects the changing landscape of Bollywood and its impact on the international film industry.
Khan's Career Resurgence
Khan’s career has been bolstered by Dunki’s worldwide theatrical release, alongside two other, more critically praised films he starred in during 2023. Both movies, Pathaan and Jawan, are action thrillers, with the actor starring as the main hero in both productions. The theatrical success of all three movies indicates his star power, showing how he is able to be a successful addition to a variety of genre films.
The actor's success indicates how big Indian productions are becoming around the world. This was prominently reflected by the loosely based on a true story RRR, whose box office success worldwide opened the door for other prominent theatrical releases. Not only does this mean Khan's career is on an upturn, but all of the Bollywood scene is making a comeback thanks to a global market.
Given Khan's major roles this year, it's probable other movies like Dunki could star the leading actor in the future. While it's unclear what his next project will be, it's likely to find similar global success as his newest work has. This means he may be on even more theater screens in the future as more of his future projects get released.
