What worked?
Strong Story and acting
Credits: Dunki Trailer
The story is based on illegal migration also commonly called “Dunki”, a path chosen by youngsters when they are not able to get a visa. The story is well-written and makes you go through the struggles of every character in the movie. Tappsee Pannu,Vicky Kaushal,Boman Irani,Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar have acted beautifully in the movie.
Shahrukh Khan is just magic
Credits: Dunki Trailer
He just owns the movie. He is the strongest pillar that holds the movie together. He is the King of Romance and this movie proves that. His expressions and unconditional love are visible and can be felt. So, for a Shahrukh Khan fan,it is a treat to watch.
Message to the youth
Credits: Dunki Trailer
It is a message to not look to foreign countries for work. It tells you to value your own country’s opportunities. The grass is greener on the other side. You might feel that the people who go to foreign are happy souls. This movie brings out the reality in front of you.
What did not work?
Humour was not so good
Credits: Dunki Trailer
The jokes don’t land at times. To be honest, it becomes a disappointing element during the movie. There are just a few places here and there where you truly giggle or laugh out loud.So,the expectations you have from the trailer go down the drain.
Taapsee – Shahrukh Chemistry does not hit!
Credits: Dunki Trailer
When you go for a Shahrukh Khan movie,one element you expect can not go wrong is Romance. But,though they tried to bring the Veer-Zaara magic in the movie,it did not give you the feels.It fell flat.
Sadness surrounds the film
Credits: Dunki Trailer
Despite the characters trying to crack jokes,the film is carrying the weight of sadness that does not go away at all. You cannot for a single minute feel free and happy.Every moment is laced with sadness.
Dunki can be considered a one-time watch! But,it is not a movie you might want to watch again and again.It is a decent movie but not so extraordinary. So,see if you can be charmed by the one and only Shahrukh Khan again then you might enjoy the movie or maybe not!
