Shah Rukh Khan’s “Dunki”, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, came out in theatres on December 21, 2023. The film performed well at the box office, grossing Rs 454 crore worldwide, as per a report by Sacnilk.com. According to recent reports, “Dunki” was supposed to make its digital debut on JioCinema; however, the film is now streaming on another OTT platform.

In a groundbreaking move within the Indian film industry, veteran lyricist Javed Akhtar has secured his place as the highest-paid lyricist with the haunting track "Nikle The Kabhi Hum Ghar Se" from Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani's latest film, “Dunki”.

“Dunki” is about the shocking ways in which people try to illegally migrate to the UK or any other developed Western country. Called the ‘donkey route’, it involves unscrupulous agents, tough border controls, corrupt officials, and lots of money.
