What is Dunki about?
Four friends from a sleepy little village in Punjab share a common dream: to go to England. Their problem is that they have neither the visa nor the ticket. A soldier alights from a train one day, and their lives change. He gives them a soldier's promise: He will take them to the land of their dreams. What follows is a hilarious and heartwarming tale of a perilous journey through the desert and the sea, but most crucially through the hinterlands of their mind.

Critic Reviews
Dunki (2023) Review: Big Heart, Rough Journey
★★★½☆
Dunki pairs Rajkumar Hirani with Shah Rukh Khan for a Hindi comedy-drama about Punjabi villagers chasing England by illegal routes. Warm, sincere and uneven.
Yes, with reservations. Fans of Hirani's big-hearted crowd-pleasers will be moved, but the long running time and a preachy second half test patience.
