About Dunki

Dunki is a comedy-drama based on an illegal immigration technique 'donkey flight'. Apart from Shah Rukh and Taapsee, the film also stars Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover. On Wednesday, Shah Rukh conducted an Ask SRK session, where he chose Dunki over his last two releases Jawan and Pathaan when a fan asked him to select a favourite. “When u have to deal with varied emotions it’s always more of a work for an actor. So Dunki it is,” he said.

Clash with Salaar

However Dunki is facing stiff competition from Prabhas-starrer Salaar: Part 1 - Ceasefire, which released on the same day. The Prashanth Neel action spectacle, starring Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran as two friends-turned-arch rivals, has broken several box office records. According to the reports from the makers, it grossed over ₹400 crore globally within three days.

A few days ago, a report by Variety also added that it was Salaar which was leading at the 3rd spot at the international box office, followed by Dunki in the 4th position during the pre-Christmas weekend.
