The track was initially released as a standalone Punjabi/Indie single. It uses a minimalistic guitar loop (or Tumbi) and a heavy bass drop, which has become a staple for "sad boy" reels.

The term Dunki derives from "Donkey," a metaphor for the arduous, clandestine journey migrants undertake. In popular discourse, the "Donkey Flight" is associated with cunning and trickery. Yet, Hirani’s film pivots on a more painful axis: Dhokha. From the opening frames in London to the flashback sequences in the fictional village of Laltu, Punjab, every major plot point is driven by a lie or a broken promise.

The official Dunki album (2023), composed by Pritam and lyricist Swanand Kirkire, features tracks like Lutt Putt Gaya, Nikle The Kabhi Hum Ghar Se, and O Maahi. Dhokha is conspicuously absent from that list. So, why the association?

The connection is purely thematic and fan-made. Dunki (released December 21, 2023) tells the story of friends navigating the treacherous "Donkey Flight" (Dunki) route to migrate to London. It is a tale of love, separation, friendship, and specifically—the pain of leaving home and the betrayal of false promises by travel agents.

Fans of Dunki, desperate for an extended emotional anthem about the film's climax, latched onto Dhokha as the unofficial anthem of the movie’s dark side.
