Rajkumar Hirani-helmed comedy drama Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu, holds the top spot on India’s Netflix trending list after dropping on the streamer on February 15.

Also featuring Boman Irani, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar and Anil Grover in key roles, the movie released theatrically on December 21 last year. The immigration comedy revolves around Hardy (Shah Rukh) and his efforts to help his friends, Mannu (Taapsee Pannu), Balli (Anil Grover), Buggu (Vikram Kochhar) and Sukhi (Vicky Kaushal), reach London to seek a better living. Unable to procure visas due to their financial situation, Hardy and his gang decide to embark on a journey to London through the 'dunki' route (meaning an illegal donkey-ride).

Shah Rukh recently revealed that he might begin shooting for his next project by April, while Taapsee is currently working on Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, a sequel to Netflix’s 2021 romantic thriller Haseen Dillruba, alongside 12th Fail star Vikrant Massey.
