Plot
Daaka is a movie about two poverty-stricken men who have their own set of problems to deal with. One, named Shinda is a love bird who falls for the daughter of a retired school teacher, financially well off, and the other, Balli, the father of a girl child who is suffering from a stomach tumour. Both these men co-own a mobile repair 'khokha' but in order to sustain their business, they must pay the shop owner 2.5 lacs else they'll lose their space. When they manage to somehow gather a handsome sum to pay the shop owner, things take an unplanned turn and they're left with just a plan and that too of robbing their village bank.

Gurnaaz Kaur of 'The Tribune' gave the film three and a half stars out of five. Kaur concluded, "The story may be a clichd one, the execution still gets the thumbs-up. To have such a well-crafted tale in Punjabi cinema is a matter of pride. It reflects the growing technical strength of the industry".

The film is absolutely entertaining [...] The film has everything love, thrill, violence, colorful songs and more. It cannot be denied that 'Daaka' is a complete package".References
