It would not be wrong to say that Shah Rukh Khan has delivered a legendary comeback in the year 2023. From his blockbuster hits Pathaan and Jawan to cameos in Tiger 3, the actor has certainly justified his title of King Khan. As the year comes to an end, he is gifting his audience another treat -- his maiden collaboration with director Rajkumar Hirani, Dunki. The movie is set to hit the big screens on December 21, and SRK fans are eagerly awaiting any details about the film. In a new update, it has been revealed that Dunki has a runtime of 2 hours and 41 minutes. It has received a "U/A" certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification, according to a tweet posted by trade expert Girish Johar. For the unversed, a U/A certificate indicates that the film is unrestricted, but there is a parental discretion advisory for children under 12 years of age. ????????????SUPER EXCLUSIVE????????????#DUNKI gets "U/A" from Censor.Runtime 2hrs 41mins@iamsrk@taapsee@vickykaushal09@RajkumarHirani@gaurikhan
In his post, Girish Johar wrote, “SUPER EXCLUSIVE #DUNKI gets "U/A" from Censor. Runtime 2hrs 41mins.”
As per a Bollywood Hungama report, the Central Board of Film Certification has also proposed a few edits in Dunki. They recommended adding anti-smoking messages at the beginning of the film and just before the second half. In the opening scene, a word was changed to 'immigrants.' A crucial scene will now carry a warning stating, "Suicide is not a solution to any problems." Additionally, the filmmakers provided supporting evidence for the statistics and facts mentioned at the end of the movie. Some visuals of Hardy (Shah Rukh Khan) in uniform on a horse during his wedding before the intermission were also 'suitably' adjusted.
