Dunki means Donkey.

Shahrukh Khan was honored at the Red Sea International Film Festival, where he revealed his Movie Dunki. He said,

“In English, my film would be called Donkey, it is Donkey. But the way a part of the country pronounces donkey in India, it is ‘Dunki’. The Punjabis say it (donkey) like dunki…”

How did Shahrukh come up with the Punjabi Community?

Let’s figure it out!

‘Donkey’ doesn’t refer to the animal here.

Donkey Means “Donkey route“.

A term used by the traffickers for the people who illegally migrate into Western countries like USA, Canada, UK, etc.

Those from countries like India, travel thousands of miles for months illegally, hiding from everyone’s eyes to reach their destination. The transport could be anything, from goods trucks to cargo ships and sometimes on foot.

Officials claim that the number of people, migrating illegally from India to other Western countries has increased significantly in past decades.

It has emerged as a huge problem for the governments of these countries.

The Punjab Connection

In India, the people from the Punjab region are seen to be mostly involved in this. A disproportionate number of its citizens opt to travel the Donkey Route for a better future.

This is why Shahrukh mentioned that In the Punjabi language, we call the donkey Dunki, and so is the movie’s name.

The trailer has not been released by the production yet but the confirmation of the Premise of the movie by Red Chilies Entertainment has been confirmed. it says that

“Based on the concept of “Donkey Flight”, an unlawful backdoor entry technique, Dunki lightheartedly depicts a few Indians who find themselves using this process.”

Shahrukh added that “it is a big journey film, and it goes through different areas around the world and finally comes back home to India.”

The actual movie is going to be revealed on 22 Dec. People are also looking super excited to watch the movie. And from people’s excitement, we could say that this is going to be the third banger of the year by Shahrukh Khan.

Well, Dunki is not the first movie based on illegal migration. Before this, a Punjabi movie featuring Ammy Virk titled “Aaja Mexico Chaliye” was also based on almost the same plot.

But we clearly anticipate more from this movie because big respected names like Shahrukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani are in it.

The fact that people are choosing illegal and harsh ways to migrate to Western countries is true. It has become the business for traffickers now. You can just simply search the “Donkey route” on Google and you will see numerous news articles about illegal migration.

These are serious concerns, and films about these topics need to be produced and supported as well.
