Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of Bollywood, is all set to release his third highly anticipated movie of the year. After treating audiences to back-to-back action entertainers, Shah Rukh is ready to bring light-hearted cinema to the big screen. His upcoming movie, Dunki, directed by the renowned Rajkumar Hirani, promises to be the perfect holiday release. While promoting the movie in Dubai, SRK did his signature step of outstretched arms and mentioned that Dunki is going to be a very special film in his career.
A Tale of Dreams and Immigration
Dunki revolves around the story of a man and his group of friends who aspire to go to London in search of better financial opportunities for their families. The film touches upon the emotions and challenges faced by individuals who choose to leave their home countries and cross borders as immigrants through unconventional means.
Shah Rukh Khan’s View on the Plot
In a recent statement to the media, Shah Rukh Khan expressed his excitement and described Dunki as a love story that transcends time. While Shah Rukh is known for his romantic roles, he clarified that this love story is not like the ones he’s famous for. He mentioned, “When we finished the film and saw it for the first time, we felt that Raju sir made a love story that spans ages. It is a very touching film that deals with the love for the motherland.”
A Combination of Genres
Shah Rukh Khan emphasized that Dunki is a complete package that encompasses comedy, emotion, and action. While Rajkumar Hirani‘s previous films were known for their humor and emotional depth, this movie stands out with its inclusion of action sequences. Shah Rukh shared, “There are many sequences in the film which are very new to me.”
The Hirani Touch
Rajkumar Hirani, the mastermind behind Dunki, has a unique way of promoting his films. He prefers to keep the audience intrigued by not revealing too much in the trailers and teasers. He believes in the power of the theater experience and wants people to enjoy his movies to the fullest. Shah Rukh Khan acknowledged this and added, “The film has lots of comedy, and I hope you will love it.”
SRK’s statement on the film
In a press conference in Dubai, Shah Rukh said that Pathaan was made keeping in mind his ladies’ fans while Jawan was to please his young fanbase. But Dunki is a movie for himself and this is why this film will always remain close to his heart. Dunki will be released in theaters on December 21, 2023.
Box Office Clash and Expectations
Dunki is set to face a solid Box Office clash with Prabhas’ action entertainer, Salaar: CeaseFire. Despite the competition, Shah Rukh Khan and his team remain confident about the movie’s success. The advance booking reports have been promising, instilling confidence in both the team and the audience. It remains to be seen how well Dunki performs at the Box Office, with fans eagerly anticipating its release.
Closing Thoughts
While Shah Rukh Khan opens up about the plot of his upcoming movie, Dunki, and refers to it as his best movie to date the audience will have to wait for a few more days to see if the film is really worth the claim. 2023 has been extremely lucky for the superstar. He is riding high on the massive success of Pathaan and Jawan. Also, his daughter Suhana debuted this year in The Archies and the film is reported to be successful. So, it is to be seen if Shah Rukh Khan’s star power and Rajkumar Hirani’s touch will be enough to win over the audience for Dunki.
