DUNKI is a delightful collaboration between two of the most loved artists of our generation, SRK and Raju Hirani, and this time they are all set to treat the audiences with another charming gem, full of heart and humor, Dunki! The film aims to bring back the sweetness and nostalgia of cinema, evoking cherished memories. Dunki is a heart-warming tale of four friends and their quest to reach foreign shores; it charts the arduous yet life-changing journey they are about to undertake to make their dreams come true. Drawn from real-life experiences, Dunki is a saga of love and friendship that brings together these wildly disparate stories, and provides hilarious and heart-breaking answers. It also gives a glimpse into an enchanting, heart-warming and unique tale that marks the return of storytelling to cinema.

Critics Consensus

Dunki's got good intentions and no shortage of heart, but its uneven tonal blend and shallow treatment of serious themes undermines the intended effect.

Audience Says

Dunki covers all the bases with plenty of comedy, drama, romance, and action, although the story isn't strong enough to support everything it tries to do.

In the end, Dunki undermines its own messaging, sandwiching a series of informative cards about donkey flights between a rushed conclusion and comedic coda.

Rated: C+

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

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.

Rated: 1.5/5

However, Dunki fails to tell a sincere story despite the grave issues it attempts to interact and engage with.

The Long Take Podcast

After a decade and a half of not really caring and producing the same garbage, [Karan Johar showed] that he can actually do it if he wants to. [On Dunki, Rajkumar Hirani is] so far gone that there’s no redemption possible with any frame in this movie.

It’s ultimately because Khan posits himself as an actor who keeps rethinking how he approaches his multiple façades on the screen that makes Dunki worth a watch.

Rated: B+

Tatsam Mukherjee

The Wire (INDIA)

It’s possible that director-writer-editor Rajkumar Hirani doesn’t know the difference between empathy and sympathy [we saw enough evidence of it in Sanju (2018)].
