Shah Rukh Khan’s “Dunki”, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, came out in theatres on December 21, 2023. The film performed well at the box office, grossing Rs 454 crore worldwide, as per a report by Sacnilk.com. According to recent reports, “Dunki” was supposed to make its digital debut on JioCinema; however, the film is now streaming on another OTT platform.

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.

The Shah Rukh Khan film also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar.

Talking about working with Shah Rukh, Rajkumar Hirani told ANI in a recent interview, “You always want to make a movie with a meaningful and good story. Shah Rukh liked the story from the beginning.
