Dunki’s trailer has a passing shot of someone being lit up in flames. We also see Shah Rukh delivering an emotional dialogue against the backdrop of a funeral pyre burning. If we notice the main posters carefully, one can see Vicky Kaushal’s Sukhi missing from those suggesting that his character won’t make it till the end. This might mean that his character dies either by committing suicide by burning himself or is shot dead while the group tries to cross the border. This further makes Hardy and his friends' resolve to cross the border and fulfill Sukhi’s dream to be even more resolute. They battle several life threats from the deserts to underwater. However, what keeps them going is their determination and mental strength.
