Shah Rukh Khan’s film ‘Dunki’ releases on Netflix

Shah Rukh Khan’s film Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is now streaming on the global streaming platform Netflix.

Dunki came out in theatres on December 21, 2023 and performed well at the box office. The film was supposed to make its digital debut on JioCinema but is now streaming on another platform.

Netflix India shared a poster of the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer on Instagram announcing Dunki’s OTT release on the platform.

The caption read, “Pack your bags! After a Dunki around the world, @iamsrk is coming home… Dunki, now streaming on Netflix!” Dunki made its OTT debut on Netflix on Valentine’s Day 2024.

Dunki revolves around the issue of immigration. Its title is taken from the term ‘donkey journey’, which refers to the ‘donkey flight’, the long winding, often dangerous routes that people across the world take to reach the places they want to immigrate to.

The film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar. Dunki was Shah Rukh’s last release of 2023, following the success of Pathaan and Jawan.

Dunki received mixed reviews from the audience and critics, and clashed with Prabhas’ blockbuster Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire.
