Dunki

Shah Rukh Khan's film has had its digital release on Valentine's Day 2024. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki came out in theatres in December, 2023. Also starring Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar, Dunki revolves around the issue of immigration. On Thursday, Shah Rukh also dropped a special promo to announce Dunki's OTT release.


The Kerala Story

The Adah Sharma-starrer is now streaming on Zee5. Directed by Sudipto Sen, The Kerala Story revolves around three women, who convert to Islam and are later forced to become terrorists. The Kerala Story was called a 'propaganda film' and faced ban in some places after it was released in May 2023. However, despite the controversy, The Kerala Story emerged as one of the successful films at the box office last year.
