    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Dunki' delves into illegal immigration, friendship, and emotional journeys, blending comedy and drama. Shah Rukh Khan's performance and Rajkumar Hirani's direction are praised, along with the film's emotional depth. However, criticisms include inconsistent pacing, underdeveloped characters, and a lack of emotional connection. Some find the humor forced and the storyline oversimplified. Cinematography and music receive mixed reviews. Overall, 'Dunki' is considered decent with strong performances but doesn't match previous successes.

    Vintage SRK is back

    "Dunki" excited us from the announcement, as we grew up watching SRK and Raju Hirani. Apart from that, Bollywood has never explored such a unique plot. Now, coming back to the movie, "Dunki" is a decent entertainer with a great first half and a weak second half. The screenplay is engaging until the first half; after that, it falters. This is the only weakest point of "Dunki." The music is outstanding and fits perfectly into the scenes. The dialogues are well-written. SRK, Taapsee, and others have done a tremendous job. Overall, it's a great entertainer for the festive season. It might not be Raju Hirani's best, but you have to remember it's still better than others' best work .

    Good movie but nothing Great

    Being an RH fan I had to see this on the first day and it left me disappointed. Once the credits roll you will say it's a good movie but will I watch it again? NO.

    It has the emotions and drama backed by great performances from SRK and Taapsee. The social message is delivered but if you are going to watch this for walking out with that 'feel good' factor you felt with Munnabhai or 3 Idiots... that's not going to happen.

    The script focuses so much on SRK and Taapsee that it fades out the potential of others. Boman Irani and Vicky Kaushal are not given any character arc and knowing their potential it is unfair.

    The soundtrack is good and blends with the narrative but nothing stands out. Worth a watch if you get the tickets cheap else wait for it to hit the OTT platforms.

    Beautiful message - for someone with the right ear!

    Dunki is a unique take on a situation not known by many in India. In a way, it educates people to some extent. Bur since the problem is not known by many, audiences may not be able to relate to the story.

    The story revolves around a group of people who want visit/migrate to UK for different reasons. Their journey, called, dunki, based in the route they take is full of emotions and a roller coaster ride.

    The common reaso in migrating to UK for the characters is the need to earn a good livelihood. In today's scenario,many may feel thar there are ample opportunities here and may not think the story to be good.

    However, everyone will surely relate to the emotions and when it comes to emotions, no one can beat SRK. That man speaks emotions with his eyes, nose, ear, hair, literally everything. He is so popular for a reason. SRK shines all along in the movie.

    But the person who steals the show is, Vicky Kaushal. He is at par with SRK in the screen time he gets, very impactful acting. He has been doing amazing acting and for me, he takes the crown of the best actor in this movie.

    Tapsee has always been amazing, and her role in this movie gives her ample moments to prove her mettle. Rest of the actors are doing justice to their roles and are a treat to watch.

    The one who can relate will love this.

    Hirani nailed it. Early morning went for movie which was worth it. It has some drama which was forcefully added then focused on real content. If its real content was more than unnecessary drama then i would have give it 10. Otherwise you will love the movie. You will enjoy this movie multiple times on your lifetime. It is mainly focused on type of person who wants to goto foreign. It is so true that many people want to goto foreign and have a lavish lifestyle but failed to do so. So this movie also taught us some lessions. It is very good movie. If u are srk fan u will definitely like this movie but if u are neutal fan also.. u will enjoy this movie.

    NOT UPTO THE MARK..

    I'M A DIE HARD FAN OF SRK AND Hirani Aswell.. Film is Beautiful.. Enjoyable.. But not so upto the mark.. Something is definitely missing.. THE SPARK IS MISSING OF HIRANI AND THE WRITER ABHIJAT.. TAPSEE IS GOOD AS USUAL.. MAY BE ITS A BEST TILL DATE.. VICKY KAUSHAL IS SUPRB. VICKRAM AND ANIL ARE TOO AWSM.

    It's a One time watchable movie.. Not a Bad a movie but we expect more from HIRANI. He is genius at his work but not this time.

    Anyway.. Its a gud movie, completely family package.. Pure and clean film it is.. Hopefully Hirani and Abhijat and Kanika Dhillon comes with BIGGER next time.........

      Shahrukh Khan's first collaboration with director Rajkumar Hirani after previous attempts of Munnabhai & 3 Idiots couldn't be worked out between those two..
    • Goofs
      Since "Qatar Airways" was one of the sponsors of the film, there are scenes of their Airbus A350 being used throughout. But when the story from 25 years ago was being told, the same Airbus A350 was used in the narrative. Even though that type of plane wasn't built during that period, only after 2011.
