Dunki

Dunki (2023) is a Rajkumar Hirani tragicomedy you can watch online on iFILM. Shah Rukh Khan plays a soldier who promises four friends from a sleepy Punjab village that he'll get them abroad to the life they keep dreaming about.

They have no visa and no money for a ticket — only the "donkey flight," an illegal route across deserts, borders and open sea that the poor have used for years to reach England. Hirani folds warm comedy into something much harder: the road to the dream becomes a road of humiliations, and the toll isn't paid in cash alone. Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani co-star, with Vicky Kaushal turning up in a memorable stretch.

This marks the first collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and the director of 3 Idiots and PK, a filmmaker who keeps smuggling social argument inside crowd-pleasing comedy. It takes on illegal migration through people rather than slogans. One for anyone who loves big-hearted Indian cinema where the laughs and the grief sit right next to each other.
