On the whole, Dunki is a hit fare. It will have a reasonably long run at the cinemas as business in the weekends after the initial week or two will be very good on the strength of family and class audience.

In the 161-minute run-time of the Rajkumar Hirani film, I was hard put to find anything that made me feel. Even Shah Rukh Khan’s Hardy comes off as working too hard for not enough pay-off. his vaunted first collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani is mostly a crashing bore

Dunki wants to make a case for desperate, needy folks from small towns and villages running off to first world countries in search of better prospects, but in his preoccupation with ’90s style sitcom humour and excessive schmaltz, he cannot establish a solid reason for us to feel bad about the situation or root for its motley bunch.

Concluding my review, Dunki is an emotional drama that will surely hit all the right notes. Even though the story seemed a little dragged in some parts, Shah Rukh Khan’s performance takes over everything. It is all about SRK and he demands all the right attention. Whereas Vicky Kaushal also shines in his cameo role and will steal your heart with his strong performance.

Hirani is known to keep things simple. This benefits and in certain ways impacts the film as well. When the film works, it does with great merit, spunk, and surprise. When it does not, it meanders into a trap that is hard to come out of. But in a time when action entertainers and spy films are very much in vogue, Dunki breaks the monotony and comes as a gush of fresh air. It is heartwarming, cheering, and uplifting reminds you, ‘Sab changa hai.’

‘Dunki’ is a film about unfulfilled aspirations and reaching out for dreams beyond means and boundaries. Overall, ‘Dunki’ is a wholesome entertainer that’s rousing, relevant, romantic and about returning to your roots.

Dunki might not be Hirani’s best work in comparison to 3 Idiots or PK, but it still entertains and leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling as you leave the theatre. Also, what better way to end the year than to have SRK charm you on the silver screen once again

Overall, Dunki is a film that leaves you with a tearful smile. And if you couldn’t watch Animal with your families for the glorified violence, you must check out Dunki for it’s an absolute family entertainer and will be an emotional riot.

All said and done, Dunki has its share of shortcomings and positives. It’s not the cinematic magic I expected from the duo of Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani. I wish the duo work together in the future but with a better story and execution.

In conclusion, Dunki stands as a cinematic triumph, showcasing Rajkumar Hirani’s directorial brilliance. The film’s seamless blend of genres, coupled with Shah Rukh Khan’s unparalleled performance, propels it into the realm of cinematic excellence. From the laughter-infused first half to the emotionally charged second act, Dunki is an immersive journey that captivates audiences, making it essential viewing for both fans and cinephiles. Rajkumar Hirani, once again, asserts his mastery in storytelling, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of Indian cinema with this groundbreaking film.
