The movie ‘Dunki’ starring Shah Rukh Khan has left a lasting impression on the public. Fans of the superstar may now rejoice as the film is available for viewing on over-the-top services.
The movie, which debuted on Netflix, is among the highest-grossing productions of 2023.
Dunki is a particular film that is extremely near to SRK’s heart, and he described it as one of his most “special” movies.
We are appreciative that Netflix allows us to tell this lovely narrative to a global audience. The movie is an intense emotional rollercoaster, and I hope that people all around the world will be moved by the remarkable journey of a group of friends.
The news was posted by the streaming service on its official Instagram page.
The poster’s message said, “Get your bags ready! @iamsrk is returning home following a Dunki across the globe. Dunki is available on Netflix right now.
Fans expressed joy following the announcement. As one of them said, “Valentine’s Day gift”
The “best film of 2023” was written by someone else.
“Bestttt valentinessss giftttt everrrrr!!!!” was said by another. I was eagerly anticipating this.”
Along with Shah Rukh Khan, the ensemble cast of “Dunki” includes actors Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, who portray colorful personalities. Critics and viewers gave the movie varying reviews.
“Dunki” centers on the immigration debate. The phrase “donkey journey”—which describes the tortuous, lengthy, and frequently hazardous paths that individuals travel around the world to get to their desired immigration destinations—is derived from the title of the book.
Due to Dunki’s popularity, SRK has three consecutive hits in his collection.
“You always want to make a movie with a meaningful and good story,” director Rajkumar Hirani stated, discussing the movie and his work with Shah Rukh Khan.
Shah Rukh was immediately drawn to the narrative. He was really interested and thrilled about it since, as an actor, he wanted to do something new after performing action movies. For a very long time, I also want to collaborate with SRK and say, “mere liye vo baat puri ho gayi,” but in the end, we did just that and “bahut maza aaya.”
“He is a great man and he just showers love on everybody,” Hirani continued, complimenting SRK. “We enjoyed working on this film.”
The movie investigates the ‘Donkey Flight,’ an illicit and dangerous means by which individuals attempt to enter countries including the US, the UK, and Canada.
The filmmaker discussed the concept of the film as well as the type of research he conducted for it, saying, “We discovered that around 7% of the population in the nation is a passport holder.
Though many individuals wish to travel, very few are able to obtain a visa. It is really challenging. We seek original stories for our films, and this one was good in my opinion.”
