Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki Releases On OTT; Here’s How You Can Watch It – News18

Almost two months after its release, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki has now been released on OTT. The Rajkumar Dirani directorial is now streaming on Netflix. On Wednesday night, the OTT platform took to its official Instagram handle and shared a poster of the film to announce its digital release. “Pack your bags! After a Dunki around the world, @iamsrk is coming home ❤️ Dunki, now streaming on Netflix!” the caption read.

Released on December 21, Dunki follows the emotional journey of a group of friends who want to move abroad. The plot follows the exciting journey of those who choose an unconventional route known as the Donkey Flight, showing the difficulties they face on their way. Besides SRK, it also stars Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal in key roles. The film earned over Rs 300 crore at the Indian box office.

Even though the film received a positive response from all, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Rajkumar Hirani revealed that SRK was sure that even though the comedy-drama would win hearts, it wouldn’t rake the kind of figures that actioners like Jawan and Pathaan did.

“He had always told me not to expect huge numbers at the box office initially. He knew it was a slow burner and the audience and family would eventually lap up to the film and start coming in. More than anyone, he was preparing me and that is what exactly happened. We have seen many families coming together to theatres to watch the film,” he told us.

Last month, Box Office Worldwide reported that Dunki is likely to be submitted for The Academy Awards nomination. Even though there is no official confirmation regarding this as of now, if this turns out to be true, it will be Shah Rukh Khan’s third movie to be submitted for Oscar nominations. Previously, his 2004 movie Swades and 2005 film Paheli were also submitted for the prestigious awards nomination.
