    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.

    Not Rajkumar Hirani film

    Had so much hype and Expectation personally, not because of SRK, but because of Rajkumar Hirani the director and Abhijat Joshi the script writer. Totally disappointed by Dialogues, Screen play and surprisingly direction too wasn't at par with what we have seen in past from Rajkumar Hirani film. The acting was all right but the cast wasn't looking punjbi at all. Srk - Tapsi big Zero in chemistry and coming on screen together as 2 Punjabis, better would be Shahid Kapoor or Daljit.

    Background score and music aren't that good either. I mean this is not what we expect from HiraniJi as director, i belive he needs Aamir Khan and under Vidhu Vinod Chopra he delivered Masterpiece. This I belive and understand is Ghost directed by his Son.

    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 .

    Lies in between good and better

    Between good and better but not great as Hirani sir does.

    I would rank it 4th in Hirani's filmography.

    The movie is based on dunki and the cast has their own stories especially SRK'S and Vicky kaushal's story were a cinema in itself the cast was outstanding but SRK and Vicky kaushal were great, SRK as Hardy is loveable , trustable and a great leader.

    Positives: The stories and their subplots Cast and their performances SRK HIRANI The frames were just like wallpapers I loved the scale and quality of the film.

    Dialogues were a big plus where my heart melted and yes comedy worked but you won't burst out laughing.

    Negatives: Rushed screenplay took time to set up a story in 1St but then rushed in second half and also in emotional scenes My tears were ready but just then the scene was cut.

    Movie had great album but was wasted in the movie And background score was not strong enough to support the emotionally loaded movie Last words to say had a pleasant watch.

    Indian audience is climatized to mass cinema...

    Raju Hirani is back with another fun & emotional roller coaster. One of the best comedies of last two decades.

    I know there is a war going on between South belt and Bollywood but both are Indian industry how can you hate one movie without even watching. Since 12am 21 Dec Praphas, Salu and Akshay fans are giving this movoe 1 star without any reason. Sigh such idiots...

    Coming back to movie, as far as acting is concerned this is one of the finest performances by SRK after Devdas & Chak De India. He might win national award for Dunki. Taapsee is definitely top contender for best actress award this year. Vicky Kaushal might also win best actor award tough competition with lord bobby.

    Raju is pure genius with screenplay and direction. Songs were also soul touching. I got goosebumps in many scenes. Every indian should watch this movie at least one time. I am sure all Srk & Raju fans will watch this movie 5-10 times because movie git repeat value.

    Thanks Raju and Srk for another Masterpiece. At box office it will perform slow but steady mark my word this movie will break all records of previous Raju Movies.

    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.

    • Trivia
      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.
