    "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.

    A Refreshing Take on Modern Love and Personal Growth

    "Dono," the 2023 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama, directed by Avnish S. Barjatya, emerges as a captivating exploration of contemporary Indian youth and their evolving perspectives. With a fresh cast featuring newcomers Rajveer Deol and Paloma Dhillon, this film proves to be a refreshing addition to the genre.

    The movie skillfully captures the essence of today's generation in India, shedding light on their forward-looking aspirations and the personal validation syndrome that often accompanies young adulthood. It's a relatable reflection of the thoughts and struggles faced by many young people today.

    Rajveer Deol, Paloma Dhillon, and director Avnish Barjatya shine in their debut performances, bringing authenticity and depth to their characters. The chemistry between the lead pair adds a layer of authenticity to the romance, making it engaging and relatable.

    One standout feature of "Dono" is its music, with songs by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy that are bound to leave a lasting impression. The film masterfully blends these melodies into its narrative, enhancing the overall experience.

    But what truly sets "Dono" apart is its exploration of the concept of closure and moving on. This theme resonates deeply with the young audience, making the film more than just a romance; it's a story of personal growth and self-discovery.

    For fans of family dramas and romance, "Dono" is a must-watch. It offers a fresh take on love in the modern age and the pursuit of one's dreams. As it delves into the complexities of relationships and personal validation, it provides a captivating and relatable cinematic experience. So, if you're looking for a movie that combines heart, drama, and romance, "Dono (2023)" should be at the top of your list.

    Refreshing Love story 💕

    Recently watched the movie DONO. It is a very sweet romcom from Rajshri productions. Since many years, Rajshri productions is known for making clean family entertaining movies and DONO does not disappoint.

    This is a refreshing story of young people Dev Sharaf( Rajveer Deol) and Meghna Doshi ( Paloma) who meet at lavish Destination wedding in Thailand .Dev is friend of Dulhan (Alina), who happens to be his childhood crush and Meghna is the best friend of Dulha(Nikhil). Sparks fly between them during pre marriage functions as they strike up a friendship and help each other with their problems.

    Coming to performances, Handsome Rajveer Deol has delivered superlative performance with perfect blend of love ,emotions and humour.

    Gorgeous Paloma with dimples which enrich her facial expressions scores 10 out of 10 with her standout acting, spontaneity and lively screen presence.

    Kanika kapur is very impressive. She acted flawlessly particularly in some emotional sequences in the movie. Rohit Khurana as Nikhil and Aaditya Nanda as Gaurav have also done their roles perfectly.

    Music is the strong part of the movie. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy have given awesome music score which adds a fun charm to the film. Armaan Malik's voice in the title track is outstanding.

    First time Director Avnish S. Barjatya has done a fabulous job in making this sweet love story that has more than just romance. He has directed pre marriage functions very gracefully which his father Sooraj Barjatya is famed for.

    In conclusion DONO is such a pretty movie on modern relations, closures and importance of self respect.

    Slow steady package

    This movie story and screenplay goes in slow verbal pace which makes this movie a feel good type movie. I can assure that this movie will get mixed review because it only target and catch the nerves of young age audiences, also the new married couples. I find it's audience is niche in theatre. If we compare to current trend of theatre like jawan, pathaan, gadar, etc. At current condition theatre seeking for bumper pack movies. However, we also can't deny that in the crowd of biggies some movies like, zara hatke zara Bach ke, rocky rani ki prem kahaani, etc, a simple love story done well in box office. As movie is good, direction also seems professional, acting is not something that we love to say remarkable but it feels good in whole movie, story is good but one criticism is, it somehow seems routine like we can predict the screenplay. As I am youth and I feel that this film exactly catch my taste. Like we talk about zara hate zara Bach ke which is not extraordinary but some factors like cast and song of the movie goes exceptional thus that get hit even though it is just a simple good movie. In the case of dono movie, cast performance seems good but this cast has not a potential for box office success and songs are also average thus we can't expect some exception to happen.

    Overall in my view movie is must watchable. Rajveer and paloma, star debutant work is good but not remarkable but they show potential for coming future. Abinash direction is good and the suggestion is work in fresh and exciting project rather than simple story. It's just my view otherwise his dono movie is well made.
