Dunki 2023 Movie Review Trailer Poster

 Shah Rukh Khan takes on the role of a soldier for the third time in 'Dunki', after 'Pathaan' and 'Jawaan'. However, this collaboration with acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani turns out to be unfortunate, as the film demonstrates. be largely tedious.


In 'Dunki', the term refers to illegal migration. The film follows the character Hardyal Singh Dhillon aka Hardy (played by Shah Rukh Khan), who becomes the driving force for Mannu (Taapsee Pannu), Buggu (Vikram Kochhar) and Balli (Anil Grover) as they navigate dangerously under Water. and land terrain in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, all in search of their dream destination, London.

Director: Rajkumar Hirani
Writers: Kanika Dhillon, Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijat Joshi
Stars: Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani

Before delving into their journey, the narrative is set in a fictional Punjab village, showcasing the challenging lives of the characters and their attempts to navigate the complexities of obtaining a UK visa through small-time agents. While the challenges of dealing with the English language, snarky interviews and visa rejections should have entered classic territory for Hirani, known for his expert creation of fabulous fabulism, 'Dunki' misses the mark. The film comes across as a mix of Mind Your Language and a reverse Purab-aur-Paschim.


In the past, Hirani's films have managed to convince audiences to accept unlikely elements, from a 45-year-old star playing a twenty-something student in 'Three Idiots' to playing a doe-eyed alien in 'PK'. 'Dunki', however, reveals a jaded Hirani, who fails to capture the charm that has characterized his previous works.


While Shah Rukh Khan's character Hardy is omnipresent throughout the film, unlike his bigger roles in 2023 blockbusters, he fails to engage the audience. Despite being a reality-based hero, adept at physical feats in an 'akhada' rather than operating sophisticated machinery, Hardy's character lacks the expected impact. The portrayal of him as an armored knight to Mannu, despite a few fleeting moments, seems forced and fails to deliver a satisfying payoff.


Even the crucial moment of the film, where Shah Rukh Khan's character declares his loyalty to his homeland, passes without leaving a significant impact. Even though 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan' establish SRK as a patriot who embraces his country with all its flaws, the emotional resonance fails in 'Dunki'.


The film's standout performance comes from Vicky Kaushal, whose brief but memorable role harkens back to the earlier Hirani, which seamlessly blended humor and heartwarming moments. Unfortunately, 'Dunki' lacks the fun and emotional depth that has characterized Hirani's previous works, leaving audiences without the expected engagement and resonance.
