People used to throng a gurdwara on the outskirts of Jalandhar, Panjab, offering toy planes for their prayers to move abroad. It came to such a silly state that the Akal Takht had to step in to put a stop the practice.
Panjab is no stranger to its people looking out for a better life aboad. This is the underlying story behind ‘Dunki‘, a Shah Rukh Khan’s movie now on Netflix after its run at the theaters.
The title comes from the ‘donkey journey’ for the eager illegal migrants, taking them on an arduous and treacherous journey in their quest for a better life.
Among the big names in the Bollywood movie are Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochar.
