"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.

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.
