Bollywood is all set to see a movie that is one of its kind. Bunker is the tale of a soldier who fought a crucial war for his country and came out alive. But this story is not one that will glorify war and the bravery with which each soldier fights. The story is on the lines of a biopic, which will try to show the story of millions of soldiers to the masses.

Directed by Jugal Raja, the movie covers the dark side of war and has stuck to the more realistic side of it. It is an anti war movie. The movie will show the explicit details of what a soldier goes through and how it is so uncommon for them to discuss the harder parts of war or the life they live.
