Shah Rukh Khan's 'Dunki': It was a house in Jalander that inspired director Rajkumar Hirani to make the film
Published On: 20 December 2023 | Bollywood | By: Team Moviekoop


The backstory of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film 'Dunki' sounds fascinating and unique.
The inspiration drawn from a real house in Jalandhar with a cement airplane on its terrace adds an interesting cultural touch to the
narrative. It's intriguing that the airplane symbolises a family member relocating abroad, and the pride associated with it is a powerful theme to explore in the context of immigration.
Director Rajkumar Hirani's visit to the actual house for research, where he discovered that the airplane wasn't just a creative water tank but had two bedrooms inside, adds a layer of authenticity to the film. The fact that the house and the airplane are not CGI but real elements from Punjab reflects the attention to detail and cultural richness that the filmmakers are incorporating into 'Dunki.'
The blend of drama and comedy, along with the cultural nuances from Punjab, promises an engaging and entertaining cinematic experience. Additionally, the connection with Punjabi culture, including the song 'Banda' sung by Diljit Dosanjh, further solidifies the film's roots in its setting.
With such a unique premise and a talented cast, including Shah Rukh Khan, Vicky Kaushal, Anil Grover, and Boman Irani, 'Dunki' seems poised to offer audiences a captivating and culturally rich cinematic journey. Fans are likely eager to see how the immigration drama unfolds against the backdrop of this distinctive house in Jalandhar.
