Dunki Streaming Release Date Rumors

The Dunki streaming release date is highly anticipated, and viewers are wondering when they can start streaming the Indian Hindi-language movie. It is directed and edited by Rajkumar Hirani, one of the most celebrated Indian filmmakers, and stars Shah Rukh Khan, one of the biggest stars of Indian cinema. Dunki marks their first collaboration.

Here’s when the Dunki could be coming out.

When is the predicted Dunki streaming release date?

The Dunki release date could be sometime in 2024.

The Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film releases in theaters on December 21, 2023, and the Indian streaming date hasn’t been officially announced yet. However, given it’s one of the biggest films of the year with a ₹120 crore ($14.39 million) budget, the production companies involved in its development — Jio Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films — will likely prefer to keep it in theaters for as long as possible.

Moreover, Shah Rukh Khan has a huge following in India and beyond and has experienced back-to-back success in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan. It can be safely presumed that he wants to end the year on a high note and complete a hat-trick of blockbuster films. To accomplish that, Dunki needs to spend a considerable time in theaters. So, it will probably begin streaming sometime in 2024.

The term Dunki refers to “donkey flights” in Punjabi language. The phrase stands for a particular illegal immigration technique used to gain entry into the US, the UK, or Canada. The film revolves around Hardayal “Hardy” Singh Dhillon and his friends, who are forced to use the eponymous illegal method with the hopes of fulfilling their lifelong dreams and immigrating to London.

The cast includes Shah Rukh Khan as Hardayal “Hardy” Singh Dhillon, Taapsee Pannu as Manu, Vicky Kaushal as Sukhi, Boman Irani as Gulati, Vikram Kochhar as Buggu Lakhanpal, Anil Grover as Balli, Jyoti Subhash as Buggu’s grandmother, and more.

Is Dunki coming out on JioCinema?

Dunki will be available to watch via streaming on JioCinema.

It was reported in July 2023 that JioCinema had secured the domestic (Indian) streaming rights to Dunki for an impressive ₹155 crore ($18.59 million). Current JioCinema subscribers will be able to watch the film when it airs. JioCinema Premium subscription currently costs ₹999 per year.

The official synopsis for Dunki reads:

“Centered around the rampant use of an illegal backdoor route called ‘Donkey Flight’ by immigrants to enter countries like the UK, USA and Canada.”
