Paloma Dhillon and Rajveer Deol in Dono (2023)

Review by tusharchandwani

Dono

1/10

"An Unbearable Fiasco: A Review of 'Dono'"

"Dono" is a cinematic catastrophe that defies description. From its laughable plot to its cringe-worthy performances, this film is a masterclass in how not to make a movie.

The storyline is a convoluted mess of clichés and inconsistencies. It jumps between genres so abruptly that it leaves the audience bewildered. The characters are one-dimensional at best, with their actions often making no sense whatsoever. It's as if the scriptwriter had a dartboard of movie tropes and threw blindly to piece this disaster together.

The acting is equally dreadful. The lead actors deliver their lines with all the charisma of a soggy cardboard box. Their attempts at emotional scenes are so painfully awkward that you'll find yourself squirming in your seat. Supporting cast members seem to have been plucked from a local community theater, bringing wooden performances that make you yearn for better talent.

The special effects are a joke. CGI that looks like it's from the '90s, and not in a nostalgic way. Explosions and car chases are so poorly executed that they elicit unintended laughter. It's baffling how anyone involved in this production thought these effects were passable.

The editing is a train wreck. Scenes transition abruptly, leaving you wondering if a reel was misplaced. The pacing is so off that it feels like a marathon of endurance rather than entertainment. And let's not even start on the cringe-inducing soundtrack that blares at inappropriate moments.

As for the cinematography, it's a masterclass in how not to frame shots. The camera angles are bizarre, and the lighting choices often make it difficult to see what's happening on screen. It's almost as if the director had never held a camera before.

In conclusion, "Dono" is a cinematic travesty of epic proportions. It's a movie so bad that it's not even fun to mock. Avoid it at all costs unless you're a masochist looking for a painful movie-watching experience. This film should serve as a cautionary tale for aspiring filmmakers everywhere: this is what happens when everything goes wrong in the world of cinema.
