Dunki Actor Explains Why Animal, Jawan, Pathaan Aced The Box Office: ‘People Are Frustrated, Angry, Hateful’

Big budget, action-packed movies like “Animal,” “Pathaan,” “Jawan,” and “Pushpa” have been huge hits lately! People just can’t get enough of their exciting storylines and superstar leads. But recently, two similar movies, “Dunki” starring Shah Rukh Khan and “Salaar” with Prabhas, came out at the same time. Both films have tons of action and are led by mega-stars, which made everyone wonder: why do people love these big, flashy movies so much, and what will happen when two titans like Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas go head-to-head at the box office? Actor Vikram Kochhar from “Dunki” shared his thoughts on why these masala movies are so popular and what this clash could mean for both films.

During an interview with Bollywood Now, Vikram Kochhar shared his thoughts on the recent surge of massy cinema and their popularity, “There are a lot of action-thrillers that are working these days, and a lot of people want to watch them. But this also depends on the political scenario of a given time. Look at how many wars are going on around the world. People are frustrated, angry, hateful, these feelings are prevalent. Everybody has vengeance in their heart, but they don’t think about where this will take them,” he explained.

He added, “A friend of mine was telling me recently that a lot of people are craving power, but they don’t know how to execute it. When they see it on the big screen, their dreams are fulfilled. On the other hand, films have a responsibility towards the audience also. Only then can they be considered great. Look at Satyajit Ray’s films, there’s a reason for that… Masses don’t want to see this. But if the masses are irrational that doesn’t mean they should be given what they want. If they want to see someone’s throat being slit, you show it to them. Then you’re just amplifying certain things that you shouldn’t.”

Shah Rukh Khan is on a record-breaking roll in North America! His latest film, Dunki, has joined Pathaan and Jawan in crossing the $5 million mark at the box office, making him the first Indian actor to achieve this feat three times in a single year. That’s right, King Khan is conquering the hearts (and wallets) of overseas audiences with his big-screen magic.

Dunki isn’t just an SRK show, though. It’s a star-studded adventure with Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and others joining the King on a heartwarming journey. They play a group of friends dreaming of a new life abroad, but instead of boring old airplanes, they take the unconventional “Donkey Flight.” This exciting, yet risky, path throws them into hilarious and dramatic situations as they chase their dreams.

So, if you’re craving a feel-good adventure with Bollywood’s biggest star and a talented ensemble cast, check out Dunki! It’s not just a movie, it’s a box office milestone for Shah Rukh Khan and a testament to the power of his global appeal.
