In what promises to be a cinematic treat for fans, Rajkumar Hirani's much-anticipated collaboration with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, titled Dunki, is set to hit cinemas on December 21, coinciding with the festive season of Christmas. The film is touted as a heartwarming tale of friendship and dreams and takes the audience on a nostalgic journey to 1995 in the quaint village of Laltu.

The trailer, released recently, opens with Shah Rukh's character, Hardy, standing on the edge of a train, setting the stage for a captivating narrative. Hardy introduces his friends, including Sukhi, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal, who grapples with learning English, and Mannu, played by Taapsee Pannu, known for her unwavering support of Hardy against those who mock him for his poor English skills. The camaraderie among the trio adds a touch of humour and warmth to the storyline.

Boman Irani makes an entrance as their English teacher, with the promise to train them enough to qualify for a life abroad. Justifying their aspirations to relocate overseas despite language barriers, Hardy and Sukhi draw a parallel to the British rule in India, emphasising that language is not a hindrance to success.
