Dunki movie review till the first half:
Dunki starts off on a funny note. The first half is peppered with humour. However, at its heart the Rajkumar Hirani entertainer is full of pathos. Shah Rukh Khan as Hardy is endearing. However, it is Vicky Kaushal who is stellar. His track beautifully sets up the emotional base for the second half. Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani and the supporting cast are in good form. Rajkumar Hirani follows the route of traditional story telling practised in Bollywood. Small tributes to the image of Shah Rukh Khan as a romantic hero are seen throughout.
The writing is fresh, and the humour is Rajkumar Hirani style. Dunki builds up a beautiful ambience of family and community in its first half. The song Lutt Putt Gaya comes at the right time. Shah Rukh let’s his eyes do the talking. Average Bollywood audience will also resonate with the emotions in the film. In a subtle way it highlights many social topics as well.
This is just the review of the first half of Dunki and Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Mere Dost. So stay tuned to Bollywood Life for the whole Dunki movie review and rating.
