Raju aur Sonu naam se hi lagte hain ke apne hi koi honge. Aur yeh gaana joh dono ne banaya hai, yeh bhi apnon ka hai. Apne ghar waalon ki yaadon ka hai…apni mitti ka hai…apne desh ki baahon mein sukoon…
The film has garnered attention not only for its compelling narrative but also for its music, with fans eagerly anticipating the release of each new song. The recently shared video of Ricky Pond, the 'dancing dad from the US,' grooving to the beats of 'Lutt Putt Gaya' from Dunki, further added to the buzz.
