The release of “Dunki,” starring Shah Rukh Khan, has left moviegoers ecstatic. Fans cheered and danced to SRK’s “Lutt Putt Gaya” song while watching the movie, even after celebrating outside the theatres. Fans poured into theatres to support and celebrate SRK’s film at Mumbai’s legendary one-screen theatre, Gaiety Galaxy. For his fans, SRk’s movie debut is nothing less than a joyous occasion. A sizable gathering of people can be seen dancing to the tunes of “Lutt Putt Gaya” and expressing their joy by tossing confetti in videos posted by Shah Rukh’s fan clubs.
Fans in the viral videos could be seen lining up outside the theatre between two and three in the morning, anticipating the film with grandiose posters, banners, and a long cutout of Shah Rukh Khan while dancing to the sounds of ‘dhol’. Rajkumar Hirani is the director of “Dunki,” which also features Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Boman Irani. On Tuesday, SRK and Rajkumar Hirani lavishly promoted their movie in Dubai. Videos from the evening have appeared on social media fan clubs for the actor, where he can be seen striking his trademark pose during the drone show at Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, with his arms extended skyward.
Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon are the co-writers of Dunki. This endearing story tells the story of four friends, Manu, Sukhi, Buggu, and Balli, who want to move to London to live a better life, but first they have to go through a difficult but transformative journey. At one of the Dubai events, Shah Rukh Khan called “Dunki” his best movie.
“I didn’t make anything for myself when I made Jawan, so I thought it was a movie for boys and girls. Then, I made Dunki. Thus, this is my movie. I hold this movie in the highest regard. Several film critics, who ostensibly know more about movies than the directors, commented on the kinds of roles I was playing during Pathaan, which made me feel strongly that I should only work on movies that I truly love, which includes all the movies I’ve done this year. I want to close the year with a movie for myself, but I started the year with Pathaan, which was always ladies first. Please make time on December 21 to watch Dunki. There is something in the movie for everyone to relate to. You’ll laugh out loud watching the movie, he said. This is SRK and Hirani and Taapsee’s first joint project.
