Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani starring Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, has surpassed the lifetime viewership of Salaar, the Telugu action featuring Prabhas, on Netflix in just four days. Now after two weeks, film has become one of the most watched films ever on streaming giant.
Dunki is a comedy-drama film that marks the first collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani, who is known for his blockbuster films like Munna Bhai series, PK, 3 Idiots and Sanju. The film also stars Boman Irani, Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee Pannu in pivotal roles. The film is co-written by Hirani, Abhijat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon.
Dunki Registers Record Breaking Views On Netflix After Two Weeks
Dunki scored 11.1 million viewing hours from 4.2 million views during the week of February 19 – February 25 and was the third most-viewed non-English film worldwide. The movie was made available to stream from February 15 and it scored 13 million viewing hours from 4.9 million views in the first 4 days.
Dunki has so far scored 24.1 million viewing hours from 9.1 million views, making it one of the most-watched Indian films on the streamer in the first 11 days. Additionally, it is trending in the top 10 in 21 countries, including number 1 in India, UAE, Oman, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Maldives, and Pakistan.
Salaar’s Low Viewership On Netflix
In comparison, Salaar, which was released on February 8th, had only 1.6 million views in its first week, with 4.8 million viewing hours. Film only managed 3.5 Million views in two weeks which is way less than 9.1 Million views of Dunki in same period.
The film, which was expected to be a massive hit, failed to impress the critics and the audience alike, and received mixed reviews for its story, direction, and performances.
This is most transparent and organic platform to gauge popularity of any show or film that too if both films released on same date and same platform.
Dunki’s Box Office Triumph
Dunki had already made waves at the box office, grossing nearly ₹ 475 crore worldwide during its theatrical run. Film became highest non action film post pandemic in India too with 230 crore nett. Now, its digital success on Netflix adds another feather to Shah Rukh Khan’s illustrious cap.
Dunki continues to dominate the Netflix charts this week, and is expected to witness a further surge in viewership in its second week.
