Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Dunki’ has had a massive influence on the audience, and there is good news for King Khan fans: the film is now available on OTT.
The film, one of the highest-grossing films of 2023, is now available on Netflix.

Calling it one of his most “special” films, SRK said, “‘Dunki’ is a special film and one that is very close to my heart. We are grateful that we can share this beautiful story with audiences around the world via Netflix. The film is a rollercoaster ride of emotions and I hope this extraordinary journey of a group of friends wins hearts globally.”

The streaming platform shared the update on the official Instagram page.
The caption along with the poster read, “Pack your bags! After a Dunki around the world, @iamsrk is coming home. Dunki, now streaming on Netflix!.”

After the announcement, fans expressed excitement. One of them commented, “Valentine gift”
While another wrote, “best film of 2023”
Another mentioned, “Bestttt valentinessss giftttt everrrrr!!!! I was waitingggg for thisssss”

The ensemble cast of ‘Dunki’ includes Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, as well as Shah Rukh Khan. The picture received mixed reviews from audiences and critics.
‘Dunki’ addresses the problem of immigration. The term “donkey journey” alludes to the long, meandering, and often deadly ways that individuals all over the world use to get to the destinations they desire to immigrate to. With Dunki’s triumph, SRK now has three consecutive hits under his belt.

While talking about the film and his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, director Rajkumar Hirani said, “You always want to make a movie with a meaningful and good story. Shah Rukh liked the story from the beginning. After doing action movies, as an actor, he also wanted to do something different and this is the reason he was very involved and happy about it. I also wanted to work with SRK for so long and, ‘mere liye vo baat puri ho gayi’ and finally we worked together and ‘bahut maza aaya’.”

While praising SRK, Hirani added, “He is a great man and he just showers love on everybody and we enjoyed working on this film.”

The film covers the ‘Donkey Flight,’ a dangerous and unlawful method used by people to enter countries such as the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Talking about the entire idea behind the movie and the kind of research he did for it, the director shared, “When we did the research we found that about 7 per cent of people in the country have a passport. Many people dream of going abroad but very few get the visa. It is very difficult. We want unique stories for making a film and I found it good.”
