Nationwide excitement was palpable as the film debuted on Thursday. Several photos and videos shot by SRK fans at this enormous party quickly became internet sensations. Shah Rukh’s fan groups have posted footage of the enormous throng that celebrated the release of Dunki with dhol music and fireworks.

Plot

The film, which was directed by Rajkumar Hirani, follows Hardy (Shah Rukh Khan) and his buddies from Laltu, a village in Punjab, as they try to get jobs in London. The four village pals all have one goal: to realise their ambition. The only catch is that they don’t have the necessary travel visas or tickets. They choose an unusual path—the “donkey flight”—in their determination to reach a faraway land.

Review

The most important thing for a review is a captivating tale, and Dunki offers just that. Thanks to his unwavering direction, Hirani makes the picture work. Once again, his talent for weaving tales together and carrying them out with precision has been important.

The unique plot depicting the Donkey flight is what gives the picture that additional weight and there are certain parts of the film when the performances of the actors will scream. Notable performances were given by the actors, particularly Vicky Kaushal. The movie would not have been complete without Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani, who both provide strong performances.

The film’s editing and cinematography are top-notch. Filmmakers sometimes struggle to strike a balance between the film’s many moods, but Hirani manages to pull it off well.
