Redditors Review Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki Without Spoilers: Take A Look

SRK, Taapsee Has No Chemistry

A user wrote, "It's a Hirani film written all over it... Vicky Kaushal stole the show even with the limited role he had, SRK as usual is Love ...Most characters played their part pretty well. For Me, Taapsee is the weakest link here, Can't act & got zero chemistry with all."

The user commented on the film, expressing admiration for the typical comedic style present in the first half. However, they noted that the second half, although emotional, seemed a bit prolonged. Regarding the rating, the user felt it surpassed Sanju but fell short compared to 3 Idiots or PK, giving it a rating of 3.5 out of 5. For those unaware, all the films the user mentioned are Hirani’s.

Best Love Story By Raju Hirani So Far

However, for another user, it was the best love story by Hirani so far. Commenting on other elements of the film, he wrote, "The VFX were excellent, and the music was so captivating that you'd want to listen to more. The message was positive. Let's see what those people who were bashing other movies for morality and stuff will say. I suggest people go watch the movie with family or companions; you will definitely enjoy it."

Emotions On Point But Humour Outdated

Many commenters engaged in a debate about the quality of jokes compared to those in his earlier films. Another user provided their insight, noting that while the emotions were well-crafted, the humour might feel outdated for today's audience, especially in the OTT era. The user wrote. "Won’t say this is Hirani’s best work but probably not his worst either, since his emotional game is always on point , no matter what era we are in. I would say it’s a good one-time watch during holiday season but do not expect a cult classic, one which you can rewatch again and again."

Vicky Kaushal's Standout Performance

Consensus across most comments centred on Vicky Kaushal's standout performance. Similar to his role in Sanju, his portrayal in Dunki garnered widespread praise, with many applauding his exceptional acting skills.
