About Dunki
Dunki is a comedy-drama centered around the illegal immigration technique known as ‘donkey flight.’ Besides Shah Rukh Khan, the cast includes Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover. Portrayed as a tale of friendships, borders, homesickness, and love, Dunki is directed from a script co-written by Rajkumar, Abhijaat Joshi, and Kanika Dhillon.
This movie is Shah Rukh’s third and final release of 2023, succeeding the consecutive action blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan. Dunki’s first-day earnings are below both Pathaan and Jawan, which had garnered ₹55 crore and ₹65.5 crore nett on their respective opening days in India. Notably, both movies surpassed ₹1000 crore in worldwide box office earnings.
Presented by JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films, Dunki hit the screens on December 21, a day ahead of Prabhas-starrer Salaar, setting the stage for a box office clash. The film unfolds as a heartwarming narrative of four friends—Manu, Sukhi, Buggu, and Balli—who aspire to settle in London for a better life but find themselves on a challenging yet transformative journey to achieve their dreams.
Shah Rukh on Dunki
According to news agency ANI, during an event in Dubai, Shah Rukh expressed that Dunki is “a film very close” to his heart. He stated, “So when I made Jawan, I thought I made a film for boys and girls but I didn’t make anything for myself, then I made Dunki. So this is my film. This film is very close to my heart.”
He remarked, “During the filming of Pathaan, critics who claim to know more about films than the filmmakers questioned the roles I was taking on. This made me realize the importance of doing films that resonate with my heart. This sentiment guided all the movies I undertook this year. I commenced the year with Pathaan, emphasizing ‘ladies first,’ and now, I aim to conclude the year with a film for myself. I urge you to watch Dunki on December 21. The film holds elements that will resonate with everyone, touching their hearts. It promises laughter as well.
