Dunki
Dunki is a comedy-drama based on an illegal immigration technique ‘donkey flight’. Apart from Shah Rukh, the film also features Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover. Billed as a saga of friendships, borders, nostalgia for home and love, Dunki is directed from a script Rajkumar co-wrote with Abhijaat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon.

The film is Shah Rukh’s third and last release of this year. It also became his lowest film opening of 2023 amid high expectations from the film. The film marks his first collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani. It also brings him romancing Taapsee onscreen for the first time. The film is working better overseas as it earned ₹58 crore on its first day.

Dunki worldwide collection
Sharing the collection, Shah Rukh Khan’s wife and co-producer of Dunki, Gauri Khan posted, “Winning love worldwide! 58 crore worldwide GBOC.” The caption read in Hindi, “Came from a long distance… Now it seems that we will go a long distance, with your love…Watch #Dunki – In Cinemas Now!”

Dunki review

Since the trailer made it clear that Dunki has SRK playing a young and an aged man, it’s no spoiler to know that the story mostly runs in flashback. We see how Manu met Hardy, how they got attracted to each other while taking the Donkey flight (illegal immigration) to reach London, and face several adversities on the way. Hirani, who returned to direction after five years since Sanju, makes sure that he engrosses us in his world full of love, heartbreaks, laughter, tears, hope, failure and topping it all with music that soothes the soul.”
