Shah Rukh Khan, fondly known as ‘King Khan,’ holds a special place in Indian cinema. His classic, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), not only won hearts in Hindi but also in Telugu and Tamil versions, creating a widespread fanbase.
However, disappointment arose when Khan’s recent film, Dunki (2023), chose to release exclusively in Hindi, overlooking the diverse South Indian audience. Fans had hoped for solace through Netflix, anticipating a dubbed version. To their dismay, Dunki arrived on the platform solely in Hindi, sparking discontent among fans and movie enthusiasts.
The expectation of inclusivity in the digital release faced a setback, prompting Netflix to confront the criticism. How they navigate this challenge and respond to the passionate plea of non-Hindi fans will be eagerly awaited.
