I suggest you read the man page of du:

man du

which says

-s             Print only the grand total of disk usage for each
                          of the specified name operands.

Hi Ambarish,

du -k or only du will give you the size of the current folder as well as folders under your current folder.

In the bottom of your big list you can see total space utilized by the folder.
