The film marks Shah Rukh’s third and last release of 2023, following back-to-back action blockbusters in Pathaan and Jawan.

Clash with Prabhas’ Salaar
Dunki faced stiff competition from Prabhas’s Salaar: Part 1- Ceasefire, which released on December 22. Directed by Prashanth Neel, Salaar is set in the fictional city of Khansaar. The story revolves around two friends, Deva and Vardha, played by Prabhas and Prithviraj Sukumaran, who become arch rivals. The film will soon enter the ₹600 crore club at the global box office.
Ahead of the release, Shah Rukh described Dunki as his best film at an event in Dubai. “So when I made Jawan, I thought I made a film for boys and girls but I didn’t make anything for myself, then I made Dunki. So this is my film. This film is very close to my heart,” he had said as quoted by news agency ANI.
