According to a report by Sacnilk.com, the movie soared at the box office, raking in an impressive ₹454 crore globally.

Exploring the theme of immigration, “Dunki” delves into the arduous and often perilous journey undertaken by individuals across the globe to reach their desired destinations, aptly encapsulated by the term “donkey journey.”

Following the successes of “Pathaan” and “Jawan” in 2023, Shah Rukh Khan’s final cinematic venture of the year was “Dunki.” In a recent interview with ANI, director Rajkumar Hirani shed light on his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, expressing his satisfaction with the partnership. “You always aspire to craft a film with a profound and engaging narrative. Shah Rukh resonated with the story right from the outset. After his stint in action films, he yearned to explore something distinct, and his enthusiasm towards ‘Dunki’ reflected that. Personally, it was a long-awaited collaboration for me, and finally, the stars aligned, and we had a delightful experience working together,” Hirani remarked, reminiscing about their collaboration.

“Dunki” not only captivated audiences in theaters but also continues to charm viewers on the digital platform, marking another milestone in Shah Rukh Khan’s illustrious career.
