Dunki movie Review
Raju Hirani proves his proness in films of this genre, and the screenplay is truly top-notch. The cinematography, especially the close shots, is remarkable. A special commendation for choosing a movie like this in a time dominated by action films at the box office.
The film delves into the critical theme of the Dunki flight, delivering a compelling narrative. The first half captivates with its brilliance, showcasing hilarious comedy. The trailer wisely refrained from revealing too much, creating a delightful surprise in the movie. The initial 40 minutes of the first half offer a thrilling mix of comedy, drama, romance, and emotions, engaging the audience thoroughly.Dunki is a rollercoaster of emotions, helmed by one of the finest directors of Hindi cinema, namely Rajkumar Hirani.
Set in 1995 in a village of Punjab, the main leads embody their roles perfectly. Vicky Kaushal in his limited screentime is a standout and his portrayal of a Punjabi ‘munda’ is top-notch. Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar do well in their roles too and are definitely two actors to watch out for in the future. Boman Irani, as the IELTS teacher, is also nice to watch and his scenes involving SRK will remind you of classics, like Main Hoon Na.
Taapsee Pannu, as the leading lady, will surprise you in a positive way. Her chemistry with SRK looks very natural and the duo dazzle on screen. SRK shines throughout the film, especially in the older scenes, where he looks more comfortable. Needless to say, his younger portion looks nice as well and kudos to the VFX team for making him look natural. His Punjabi accent is like Aamir Khan’s in Laal Singh Chaddha: ‘A’ for effort and that’s about it. There comes a point where it sounds borderline cringe but it’s not awful.
The music by Pritam is surprisingly good. From the upbeat track of ‘Lutt Putt Gaya’ to Diljit’s spunky ‘Banda’ to the multiple romantic/emotional tracks, all songs fit in nicely with the screenplay. The strong writing goes to show the extensive research that was put in to the write this film’s script. The editing is decent (better than the trailer for show) but nothing extraordinary. The cinematography and colour grading complement each other perfectly and really enhance the overall experience.
Overall, Dunki is the perfect family entertainer that will remained etched in viewer’s minds for years to come.
