Finally, Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki has been released unannounced on an OTT platform. Probably a masterstroke in promotional strategies. On February 14, Shah Rukh Khan dropped a major hint that said something very special was about to happen on Valentine’s Day. People were guessing that it might be his last released film, Dunki.
Now, the guesses are all ticked right, and all the guesses definitely get a 10 on 10 for being so precisely correct. Rajkumar Hirani‘s Dramedy has indeed dropped on OTT, and those who missed it in the theaters can finally watch it.
The film is based on immigration problems for people who want to travel to London from India in search of work opportunities. They mostly followed the route of Donkey Flight, an illegal immigration technique, and the film is a social commentary on the same.
Now, as Dunki releases on OTT, here’s a streaming guide for the Shah Rukh Khan starrer film, along with other details you need to know.
When To Watch Dunki
The dramedy, also starring Tapsee Pannu, Vikram Kocchar, Anil Grover, Vicky Kaushal, and Boman Irani, has already been released on OTT. The film was released in theaters and clashed with Prabhas’ Salaar. However, it has dropped on OTT after Prashanth Neel’s film dropped on OTT platforms on January 20 in other languages and will stream in Hindi from February 16. Dunki, like the theatrical release, has arrived a day before Salaar Hindi.
Where To Watch Dunki
The movie is finally streaming on Netflix in Hindi, along with English subtitles. It is Netflix and Shah Rukh Khan’s Valentine’s gift for the audiences. For three weeks, the Korean film Badland Hunter has been trending at Number 1 on Netflix in the non-English film category. It would be interesting to see if Shah Rukh Khan‘s film overtakes this one!
Dunki OTT Deal
Earlier, it was rumored and reported that Dunki was sold to a streaming giant for a whopping 155 crore. Later, it was reported that Jio Cinemas had cracked the deal for streaming Dunki. Now that it is already streaming on Dunki, one can guess that the deal would have matched a whopping 155 crore or more, at the least! The combined value of Dunki’s digital, satellite, and music rights was speculated to be 230 crore.
Dunki IMDb Rating & Rotten Tomatoes Score
The film has been rated 7.2 on IMDb against 62K votes. Earlier, it was trending much higher on IMDB’s most popular list of films. Currently, it is trending at number 413, globally. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a score of 76% by Audience and 53% on Tomatometer.
