About Dunki
Dunki revolves around the issue of immigration with its title taken from the term ‘donkey journey,’ referring to the ‘donkey flight’ – the dangerous routes people worldwide take to reach places they want to immigrate to. Boman Irani, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar played key roles in the film. Shah Rukh had a great 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan setting the box office ringing. Dunki received mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike.
“Laced with director Rajkumar Hirani’s signature style, Dunki rides high on emotions, with humour peppered in quantity that at times get too much to digest. Definitely not one of the best works from Hirani, yet Dunki effortlessly manages to keep you hooked. Be it crossing the desserts in Iran or snowy mountains of their next destination, Shah Rukh doesn’t fail to charm you.”
