Despite being turned off by the acting, scenes and music in the trailer, I went to see Dunki in theater as I've always loved Rajkumar Hirani films, Sanju had made me cry and I loved it in theater.

The acting in Dunki is lousy, SRK cannot act, everyone is aware of this, but the remaining cast isn't great either. Vicky Kaushal though is a natural and does do justice to his character in some comedy and emotional scenes. But SRK, Taapsi, Boman all come off as flat and often unfunny. There's no realistic naturalness or spontaneousness in their acting or body language.

Where's the classic Raju Hirani comedy vibe and heartfelt dialogue scenes, it's all missing. And who composed such lousy music that isn't even worth listening to again?

I regret watching this in theater, and would have probably regretted watching on Netflix. Hirani should've known better before choosing to cast SRK for this story.

Take any of your favorite political thrillers. What you'd find is political insight and compelling suspense, seamlessly woven to demystify your flimsy notions and beliefs about that subject. While the protagonist peels the layers off falsehood, you experience the joy of veils dropping. You get more than just the solution of a mystery; a new interpretation of the event, a shocking perspective. Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai is one such political thriller. This terrific film hits you like a hurricane and terrifies you to bits. It has an abiding effect that will haunt you even hours after you've left the theater. If you enjoy true cinema, go for SHANGHAI.. Else, better wait for SRK or FARAH KHAN's next POPCORN FLICK!! Go for SHANGHAI for Kalki Koechlin, for Emraam Hashmi,for Abhay Deol, for the Music & for everything you want from a masterpiece! And next time you end up comparing why do Bollywood standards do not reach Hollywood, stay quite! You don't deserve a word!

10/10

Peddlers is one of those gems which is churned out by the the Bollywood film industry maybe once in five years. If it has to be described in one word, I think 'Extraordinary' would be a good one.Nobody would disagree with the fact that Gulshan Devaaiahh has established himself as one of the most promising actors of Bollywood after his amazing performances in Shaitan,That Girl In Yellow Boots,and has delivered the performance of his career in Peddlers.The film is dark with but the presentation is such that you do feel pity for the people in it but can't help but sadistically laugh at them. That is what Vasan Bala has been able to achieve with Peddlers which very few directors in India can manage to.

This film will surely help Bollywood break out of the barricades of outdated film making, and shift towards a more contemporary technique of pleasing audiences.

10/10 from Die-Hard Gulshan Fan
