Shah Rukh Khan sets another record; plays a PATRIOTIC character, who can do anything for India, in all films this year - Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki

The weekend gone by was a special one for moviegoers after the poster of Dunki was dropped on social media. The teaser poster was not shared by the official handles of Shah Rukh Khan, Red Chillies Entertainment or Rajkumar Hirani. However, it wasn’t fake either and was put out by international distributors. In no time, it went viral and enhanced the buzz for the film, though it doesn’t show Shah Rukh’s face. But the feel of the poster and also the tagline ‘A Soldier’s Journey To Keep A Promise’ did the trick.

Dunki is the third release of Shah Rukh Khan in 2023 and it’s interesting to see that he’s playing a soldier or a patriotic character who can do anything for India in all three movies of the year. 2023 began with a bang with the monstrous blockbuster, Pathaan. It featured the superstar as a spy working for RAW. The actor was loved for the manner in which he played the cool character with ease and also for his quest to do anything for his motherland.

This was followed by Jawan. It broke Pathaan’s record and emerged as an all-time blockbuster. In Jawan, audiences saw Shah Rukh Khan in a double role. The father, Vikram Rathore, was a disciplined soldier of the Indian army, who had to pay a heavy price when he raised his voice against wrongdoing. His son, Azad, is a jailer and also a vigilante. Both the characters were patriotic in their own way and dedicated their lives to their country. The response to their scenes in cinemas was unprecedented.

And now, Dunki also sees Shah Rukh Khan as a jawan from the Indian army. A source said, “Shah Rukh plays an Indian army soldier. He’s patriotic and his character would be loved especially to what lengths he goes to.” The source also added, “Since it’s directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the way it is handled, you won’t draw parallels with Shah Rukh’s other two films, just like how the audience didn’t get a déjà vu of Pathaan while watching Jawan.”

Dunki releases in cinemas on December 21, 2023. The teaser is expected to be out next month.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
