Dunki (2023)
A Soldier's journey to keep a promise
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.
Dunki keeps every mind human — it fights its subject at zero distance. The story fights on E8/E10/E12 of the E0–E14 reality ladder.
