Movie Review: Dunki is a heartwarming and entertaining film with a positive message!


Released in December 2023, "Dunki" is a collaboration between the legendary director Rajkumar Hirani and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The film has garnered mixed reviews, with some praising its heartwarming story and emotional impact, while others criticizing its pacing and predictable narrative. It's a comedy-drama that tells the story of illegal immigrants from Punjab who embark on a perilous journey to London in search of a better life.



Story and Themes:

"Dunki" follows the journey of four Punjabi individuals, played by Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal, who dream of immigrating to London for a better life. The film explores themes of illegal immigration, the struggles of the underprivileged, and the enduring power of hope and human connection.

 

Here's a breakdown of the critical reception of Dunki:

Positives about the Dunki:

  • Shah Rukh Khan's Performance: Many critics lauded Khan's portrayal of a simple yet determined Punjabi man named Dunki. His charm and emotional range are said to be the film's strongest assets.
  • Heartwarming story: The film's exploration of human resilience and the bonds of friendship resonated with several viewers, leaving them with a sense of hope and upliftment.
  • Emotional impact: Dunki is sure to tug at your heartstrings, especially the scenes that depict the struggles of the illegal immigrants.
  • Comic relief: The film is peppered with humorous moments that provide much-needed levity.
  • Humorous Moments: Hirani's signature brand of humor shines through in several scenes, providing welcome comic relief amidst the film's heavier themes.

Negatives about the Dunki:

  • Pacing issues: Some reviewers found the film's pacing to be uneven, with certain scenes dragging and others feeling rushed.
  • Predictable Narrative: The overall story arc of "Dunki" was criticized for being somewhat predictable and lacking originality.
  • Oversimplification of complex issues: The film's handling of sensitive topics like illegal immigration was viewed by some as overly simplistic and lacking nuance.

Despite its flaws, "Dunki" is a generally well-made and entertaining film with a positive message. Shah Rukh Khan's performance and the film's emotional core are its highlights. However, viewers looking for a more nuanced and challenging cinematic experience may be disappointed.

Here are some additional points to consider:

  • The film has been praised for its technical aspects, including the cinematography and music.
  • The film's soundtrack, composed by AR Rahman, has been praised for its catchy tunes and emotional depth.

  • The supporting cast, which includes Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal, delivers strong performances.
  • Despite the mixed critical reception, "Dunki" has been a commercial success, breaking box office records in several countries.
  • Dunki is a family-friendly film that is suitable for all ages.

If you're looking for a heartwarming and entertaining film, Dunki is worth checking out. Ultimately, whether or not you enjoy "Dunki" will depend on your individual preferences. If you're looking for a lighthearted and feel-good film with a strong dose of Shah Rukh Khan charm, then "Dunki" is definitely worth a watch. However, if you're looking for a more complex and thought-provoking film, you might want to look elsewhere.

We hope this review helps you decide whether or not to watch "Dunki."

Dono star Rajveer Deol to reveal on being scared of father Sunny Deol’s onscreen persona!

Dono star Rajveer Deol to reveal on being scared of father Sunny Deol’s onscreen persona!

Sunny Deol is well-known as an actor for his memorable lines in addition to the roles he has performed in movies. He is particularly adept at making viewers feel horrible for the villains. When Rajveer Deol was a child, he used to feel horrible for the bad guys in his father's action flicks because he knew that the seasoned actor would give them a brutal thrashing.

Sunny Deol, who starred as the main character in multiple action films in the 1990s, approaches acting with a sense of "honesty," according to his son Rajveer Deol. Due to this quality, he stands out among his contemporaries. Rajveer Deol revealed in a recent interview with a media outlet that he frequently felt "scared" by his father's on-screen persona and that he virtually always felt pity for the villains. He revealed, “There’s a specialty with Dad that I don’t think anyone else can do. There’s honesty in his bones and blood. When he screams at someone and wants to get revenge, you feel it. You want to do it yourself. I used to feel bad for all the villains. I used to see dad get angry (in films) and would know what is to come. I would be like, ‘Oh poor guys, don’t do this!’ I was very scared of that.”

The son of Sunny and Pooja Deol, Rajveer Deol, made his acting debut in the Dono movie, which was released on October 5. In this love story, Paloma Dhillon, an actor who is the daughter of Poonam Dhillon and producer Ashok Thakeria, also makes her acting debut. The romance between two complete strangers set against the backdrop of a destination wedding is the movie's main topic. The first film that Avnish Barjatya, the director's son, produced and directed was a romantic comedy-drama that was released on Friday. Avnish worked with his father as an assistant director on a number of his father's movies, including Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Uunchai, before this.

Taare Zameen Par star Darsheel Safary wants to work with Aamir Khan again!

Taare Zameen Par star Darsheel Safary wants to work with Aamir Khan again!

Being a global sensation before the age of ten is a rare occurrence; it doesn't happen often. One of the fortunate ones was Darsheel Safary, who rose to fame as a result of his costarring role in Aamir Khan's debut film Taare Zameen Par. The now 26-year-old admitted that despite the fact that it might have seemed like a dream come true, the demands and even the excessive dedication from others made him feel stifled.

Darsheel Safary claimed in a recent conversation that he was under pressure from both internal and external sources to demonstrate his aptitude. The actor said that he often questioned his ability to live up to everyone's high expectations for him. He revealed, “I was also juggling with studies and so was selective. I wanted to take the best step possible. After school was over, I decided to take a break and introspect about what I wanted from life.” 

The actor claimed that he experimented with theatre around this time and took a seven or eight-year break from acting in motion pictures. He travelled, worked on his acting skills, and focused on theater productions. Then he began to look for scripts.

When the host asked him how he handled it, Darsheel replied he at first didn't comprehend the love and attention he got. He stated that he was only ten years old and that it had grown a little too much for him as others held him in praise. He revealed, “I would go home and cry every day. There were people of my parents, and grandparents’ age, who would come up to me and show so much love. Everything would get registered in my mind but I did not understand what was happening. What’s the hype about?”

When asked in the same interview if he thought Aamir Khan didn't actively promote his career after his debut movie Taare Zameen Par, Darsheel reacted, “Not at all! I am very shy. I get awkward with these things. I can’t tell you how many times I have been told, ‘Are you in touch with Aamir uncle? Drop him a text, call him, this and that.’ But I feel shy doing this. I don’t know how to put it in words. It should always happen organically.”

Darsheel said and disclosed that Aamir Khan is aware of all of his current projects despite not working with the star once more. He revealed, “This concept of, ‘tumpe kisi ka haath hai‘, I have never understood that and I have never expected that as well. In fact, after Taare Zameen Par, almost every project that I have done, somewhere or the other, it has been communicated to Aamir that this is the project that I am doing. It’s mostly the case, just to get his blessings.”

Darsheel expressed his desire to take part in an Aamir Khan movie if the opportunity arose and a project was developed. He disclosed, “I want to be a part of that kind of process, not like, ‘Hi sir, I am here, I am looking to work with you again.’ Which I am very excited to, because it has been 15 years since the film, so I would love to share with him what I have learnt from that one experience. I want to show him what I have become, through his guidance.”

Darsheel added that he last interacted with Aamir when filming his 2022 movie Laal Singh Chaddha. He is anxiously awaiting the release of his forthcoming movie Hukus Bukus.

 

Vishal Bhardwaj opens up on facing issues in raising money for films!

Vishal Bhardwaj opens up on facing issues in raising money for films!

Vishal Bhardwaj is a talented filmmaker from Bollywood. Over the years, he has worked on a number of groundbreaking films, such as Satya and Omkara. He actually collaborates with the talented Tabu on a number of films, including Khufiya, Haider, Maachis, and Maqbool. In a recent interview, the director talked about their recent collaboration and recognized that, unlike Rohit Shetty, another director, having someone as 'prolific' as Tabu doesn't ensure the movie will have a high budget.

The acclaimed director Vishal Bhardwaj was recently questioned in an interview with a newspaper about if it was difficult for him to raise money for Khufiya despite having a star performer like Tabu. The director retorted that not everyone could manage big budgets like Rohit Shetty could.

He was quoted saying, “It is the reality of the market. If I want a budget like a Rohit Shetty movie, then I must deliver a hit like him. This is something we artists should accept. We all have our limitations, even Rohit Shetty. He can't make a film like Christopher Nolan."

The fact that Vishal Bhardwaj is making his feature debut once more with Khufiya after a five-year break is noteworthy. Upon being questioned about the protracted break, he revealed that he started writing Khufiya in 2016 and finished the first draft in 2018. “At the time, it had a male protagonist. I wanted to work with Irrfan, who was unwell. After he passed away, I thought of changing the gender and making the film with Tabu as the protagonist. The budget I required for this wasn't available for any female star. But Netflix gave me the confidence to make the movie that I wanted to make,” told the director.

Vishal Bhardwaj also disclosed information about his ongoing projects. He revealed that he "worked intensely for over a year on that," when speaking about his most recent movie, Pataakha, which was released in 2018. However, it was stopped before he could begin shooting. Radhika Madan and Sanya Malhotra starred in the Midnight's Children (1981) adaption by Salman Rushdie.

He also revealed that he was developing a series for Prime Video based on IC 814, the December 1999 hijacking of Indian Airlines Flight 814. However, the OTT platform "developed cold feet" after the uproar surrounding Saif Ali Khan's Tandav series, which was accused of hurting religious sensitivities.

A number of films, including Laaga Chunari Mein Daag, Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, and Page 3, elevated actress Konkona Sen Sharma to the top of the Indian film business.

Konkona is now preparing for the debut of Mumbai Diaries' second season.

Aside from being a top-notch performer, Konkona Sen Sharma is also a successful director with a number of well-regarded and successful works to her name, including Lust Stories 2 and A Death In The Gunj.

It was her first time working on a film sequel, and Konkona told a media outlet that it was fantastic. The Lipstick Under My Burkha actress revealed, “This is the first time I'm working on a sequel of a show which has actually been really lovely. It's a feeling of homecoming especially as you're just building on the character and not starting fresh.”

Speaking about filming for her series's sensitive female character who is attempting to help Mumbai survive, she revealed, “As we had something to fall back on, it was great fun shooting it too. Not just getting back into that zone of the show or the character, but you're going deeper into it which was quite a wonderful experience.”

The creators of Mumbai Diaries attempted to depict the challenges encountered by the personnel at Bombay General Hospital following the city's terrorist assaults in 2008 with the first season of the show, which was published back in 2021. After two years, the medical drama's second season's teaser was released.

Sonam Kapoor to express desire to act in mini-series or OTT shows!

Sonam Kapoor, recognized for her amazing acting in movies like Raanjhanaa, Veere Di Wedding, and Neerja, has not only made a name for herself as a talented actor but also as a big fashion influencer.

In a recent interview with a media source, Sonam Kapoor declared her ambition to enter the workforce and claimed that the success of her father Anil Kapoor's web series served as her motivation. She told, “I got pregnant at the tail end of COVID-19 and I've always said that I will take time off (from work). It was maternity leave, which every woman and man should get. I spent time with my baby. Now, I'm ready and raring to go again.”

Sonam Kapoor expressed her wish to appear in a miniseries or an over-the-top (OTT) program while also expressing her respect for her father Anil Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur's performance in The Night Manager. She revealed, “I would love to do a mini-series or OTT shows. I saw my father's show and I was very excited to see what it was like. It was at the level of any film that you will see. I would love to do something like that. I feel you can have more time playing a character.”

Sonam Kapoor's most recent film, Blind, a criminal suspense thriller, was released on July 7.

‘I couldn’t control…’, says Vijay Varma on how ‘pap situation escalated’ after he started dating Tamannaah!

‘I couldn’t control…’, says Vijay Varma on how ‘pap situation escalated’ after he started dating Tamannaah!

Bollywood actor Vijay Varma and Tamannaah Bhatia were seen acting together in Lust Stories 2. Naturally, people were drawn to their on-screen chemistry, and in Netflix's fantasy drama, the duo displayed their acting prowess. Following their pairing in Lust Stories 2, the actors' fans were in a frenzy, but they were also happy to see how well they got along off-screen once their relationship became known. Vijay recently discussed how the paparazzi culture exploded after he began dating Tamannaah.

Tamannaah Bhatia and Vijay Varma are one of the most beloved couples in the Bollywood business. Even though they have always attracted attention because of their wonderful chemistry, Vijay recently talked about the paparazzi situation when he started dating the actress at the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2023 and claimed that it "escalated" after that.

“I was doing fairly good on my own. The pap situation escalated a bit as soon as I started seeing Tamannaah [Bhatia]. That's where the paps lost their minds. I couldn't control it! And there were times they came right at my doorstep and nobody came to my building before that. I live in this isolated part of Andheri that nobody should know where I live and don't go tell your friends where I stay and I don't want you all outside my house,” revealed Varma.

The most recent OTT film from Vijay Varma, Jaane Jaan, which also starred Jaideep Ahlawat and Kareena Kapoor Khan, is currently doing well. Sujoy Ghosh's mystery-thriller film is based on the Japanese novel The Devotion of the Suspect X. Varma also has Homi Adajania's Murder Mubarak in his collection.


‘It never feels good’, says director Imtiaz Ali on dealing with criticism!

‘It never feels good’, says director Imtiaz Ali on dealing with criticism!

Both success and failure are equally important. In the Hindi cinema industry, renowned filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has had both kind of experiences. But it was his determination and never-give-up attitude that helped him advance and climb to the top of the charts. Recently, the Jab We Met director opened up about a difficult time in his life and shared how he responds to criticism.

The acclaimed director was talking to a daily. Imtiaz Ali admitted that he had failed miserably a lot during this conversation. He disclosed, “When I look back, I see a lot of failure in my life, a lot of times where everybody feels at certain times. I particularly feel I failed at various times. In a longer discussion, we can discuss this, but I have gained a lot from those times that I have failed. Sometimes, I have gained more from my failures than from my so-called successes. Although it never feels good when people don't love your work, and when things fail, it never feels good. But now, I have enough experience to know that this will also make a contribution to my further growth and my further success on the whole, as a filmmaker. That's how I take it.”

He further divulged, “The one thing that I never want to do, is to be bogged down by failure to the extent that I stop taking risks.”

When questioned if the failure and criticism had ever badly impacted him, Imtiaz admitted, “No, luckily not, because I have kept it that way. And I hope to continue to keep it that way. I also feel that flat topography is not interesting. If you look at the career graph or film graph of any filmmaker, good, bad, the top, you will always see a certain mountain range, ups and downs." "That's bound to happen. One has to accept and move on,” he disclosed.

Jab We Met was the writer-director's most well-liked and successful movie. Clearing the air and defending its sequel, Imtiaz Ali disclosed, “No, it’s not happening. I don’t have a story for Jab We Met 2 yet. I’ve heard of these and read these reports and articles. Nobody asked me before publishing them, so I don’t know what to say. But let’s see what happens.”

Suhana Khan recalls feeling 'extremely nervous' on her first day on the sets of The Archies’!

Suhana Khan recalls feeling 'extremely nervous' on her first day on the sets of The Archies’!

On December 7th of this year, Netflix will release The Archies, a young adult musical comedy starring newcomers Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, and Agastya Nanda. The cast, writer, and producer of Archies, Reema Kagti, as well as Netflix India's Vice-President of Content, Monika Shergill, all attended Day 1 of the India Today Conclave Mumbai 2023. They took part in a presentation called "New Kids on the Block: Meet the Gen Z of Bollywood," commonly referred to as "The Archies Gang."

It will be Suhana Khan's acting debut when she plays Veronica Lodge in the Netflix film The Archies. She discussed her initial thoughts and how her experience on the first day of filming stood out from the others at the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2023. She disclosed, “I guess all of that is very different from being in a Netflix film and being on a real film set as a working actor, I think, from the number of people on set, from the number of lights on set and the hair and makeup and all the chaos. And in the middle of this, I felt extremely insignificant. And, I guess I kind of knew that everything that everyone was doing around me was felicitating the director’s vision, Zoya’s vision and I guess knowing that on my first day and realising that, I felt extremely nervous.”

When questioned about the person who criticizes her the most, Suhana said that her parents, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan, are her most valuable teachers. She revealed, “I wouldn’t say my critic, but my biggest source of guidance is my parents. My entire family feels to chip in and help each other out.”

Based on popular comics, Zoya Akhtar's musical coming-of-age film The Archies is a coming-of-age story. In this Indian adaptation, Dot will play Ethel Muggs, along with Agastya Nanda as the endearing and gifted Archie Andrews, Khushi Kapoor as Betty Cooper, Mihir Ahuja as the ravenously hungry Jughead Jones, Suhana Khan as Veronica Lodge, Vedang Raina as the dashing Reggie Mantle, and Yuvraj Menda as Dilton Doiley.

Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda was questioned about how much he resembles the character of Archie Andrews in the eagerly anticipated upcoming Netflix film The Archies at the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2023. He disclosed, “I wouldn't call myself a casanova. Something that we do share in common is our love for music, because it helps you deal with a lot of emotions and that's where we are kind of similar, and yes, I am definitely not a casanova.”

Big B's grandson Agastya Nanda opens up on similarities with The Archies role!

Chatting about his debut, he further disclosed, “I don't think you choose The Archies. It was Zoya who chose and we auditioned for it. Being on Netflix is such an exciting opportunity, being streamed in 190 countries at once. I find it so exciting. I couldn't have asked for a better team of people to work with. These guys over here have become my best friends and we hang out a lot, actually a bit too much.”

When interrogated about his role model, Agastya Nanda revealed, “My role model is my dadi, Ritu Nanda. She isn't with us anymore, but I have always aspired to be like her. She just had this warmth about her that if you were around her, you could feel like you could do anything. I wish to be like that, to give people around me all that positivity and love.”

On December 7th, Netflix will release The Archies, a new original series co-written by Zoya Akhtar, Reema Kagti, and Ayesha Devitre. It has all-star performances from Khushi Kapoor, the daughter of Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, and Suhana Khan, the daughter of Shah Rukh Khan.

The actor from Bhediya asserted that he has changed significantly in recent years. “I have actually stopped thinking about the rat race. I’m very happy where I am.

Currently, Varun is filming VD18, which will be directed by Jawan Atlee Kumar. Additionally, he will debut on streaming services with Citadel, an Indian version of the same named American TV show with Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

Since her February marriage to Bollywood hottie Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara is almost ever seen in the city by herself.

Sophie Turner’s symbolic 'Fearless' bracelet in FIRST post after split with Joe Jonas!


In a joint statement on September 6, Sophie Turner, 27, and her ex-husband Joe Jonas, who plays Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, announced their separation. This is Sophie Turner's first social media post since that time. The word "Fearless," which appears on Taylor Swift's second studio album, was displayed on a friendship bracelet in Turner's Sunday Instagram Story.

When news of the couple's near-fatal accident made headlines, they were on vacation in Italy. Additionally, videos of the disturbing incident were posted on social media. The Lamborghini that Gayatri and her husband Vikas were traveling in Sardinia's countryside crashed with a Ferrari and a camper van, according to a story by a daily. According to reports, a serious accident occurred when the two fast cars collided while attempting to pass the large camper van in front of them. While the Ferrari caught fire, the van in front also overturned on the highway.

When the daily newspaper source contacted the actress to know about their whereabouts, the actress informed that both of them were absolutely fine. She said, “Vikas and I are in Italy. We met with an accident here (multiple-car collision). With God’s grace, we both are absolutely fine.”

Gayatri quit her job as a video jockey to focus solely on modeling. After having a mediocre amount of success in beauty pageant competitions, she began modeling for companies and appearing in music videos, including those for the songs Jhanjaria by Hans Raj Hans and Kaghaz Ki Kashti by Jagjit Singh.

‘He’s got the charisma…’, says Russo Brothers on Tom Holland's casting as Spider Man!

‘He’s got the charisma…’, says Russo Brothers on Tom Holland's casting as Spider Man!

The Russo brothers revealed why Tom Holland was picked to play Spider-Man in a media interview with a tabloid. Joe and Anthony Russo made it clear that selecting Spider-Man wasn't an easy task. After being chosen, Holland's career trajectory took a huge turn, elevating him to the position of one of Hollywood's most popular performers at the time.

The Russo brothers spoke to Sarah Halley Finn, Marvel's head of casting, during the media chat. They recounted that she presented them to Holland and said, "This is the guy. You'll fall in love with him.

The Russo Brothers added additional information, “Sarah (Finn) should get all the credit for casting Holland as Spider-Man; she’s the best in the business and she knows us. We had already done two films with her. So Holland came in. He did his test. We called Sarah straight after and said, ‘Oh, my God, he’s incredible. He’s a movie star: he’s got the charisma; he’s got the range.’ It’s very rare someone walks into a room who has all the elements that make up a bona fide star. Holland had that thing.”

The best actor to play Spider-Man was Tom Holland. The Russo Brothers elaborated on this, revealing, “Plus, Holland’s ability to do a standing backflip right in front of you – that helped!” He further told, “It was the first time Spider-Man had ever been cast as an actual teenager, right? Which was very important to us; there was a distinct nervousness of casting a kid.”

The Spider-Man sequel, which has been delayed due to SAG-AFTRA strikes, will be the actor's upcoming movie.


Lara Dutta says crazy things for Welcome 3!

Lara Dutta says crazy things for Welcome 3!

Lara Dutta has been a boon to the big screen with her highly entertaining parts over the years. The audience enjoys the actress, and she has contributed significantly to this industry. We are particularly excited to see what Lara, an extraordinarily talented actor, has in store for her audience this time around as she works on Welcome 3, the third entry in the Welcome franchise. She recently discussed the film's production and how "exciting" Welcome 3 will be.

In a media interview with a daily, Lara Dutta discussed being in the movie and referred to the script as "absolutely crazy" and "exciting." “It’s going to be absolute madness. I can't tell you how many messages from very influential people in the industry say ‘please can we come and be on this set’. The script is just absolutely crazy. It's exciting. Obviously for Raveena and myself to come on board, there has to be something substantial for us to be part of it,” revealed Lara

It appears that 2000 was "India's year" because Lara Dutta won the Miss Universe title while actors Dia Mirza and Priyanka Chopra also won the Miss Asia Pacific and Miss World crowns, respectively. Without a doubt, India has gained respect as a result of the actresses' successes. Lara had the same view, saying, "I totally believe in only faith and destiny. India's year was that one. The trio went on to say that winning the titles was an honor because they did it for their country and that "the stars were aligned and it's a phenomenon that I don't think any country can boast off something like this." Lara continued by describing how winning the crown "catapults you into a very different dimension altogether." “Those kinds of opportunities are literally one in a couple of billion,” stated Lara.

On the work front, Lara, who earlier appeared in No Entry and Partner, will now be seen in Ahmed Khan's Welcome 3, which also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Akshay Kumar, and Sanjay Dutt.

Bollywood's top actress, Kareena Kapoor Khan, is booming! The actress is engaged in a number of exciting projects, and Sujoy Ghosh's film Jaane Jaan, which she starred in, recently made its OTT debut. Japanese author Higashino Keigo's best-selling book, The Devotion of Suspect X, was released in 2005. Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat are also featured in the film. In a recent reaction, Kareena said that it's flattering that she's called a "hot padosan" in Jaane Jaan. The actress is happy because today is her 43rd birthday.

Kareena talked about the necessity for Hindi films to reinvent the meaning of desirability in an interview with a tabloid. She argued that she loved flaunting her gorgeous side and that she knew her fans linked to it as well in response to being designated a "hot padosan" in Jaane Jaan. She stated, “It’s a great time, I have two children, I’m a proud wife, proud homemaker, and mother. I also love my glamorous side, which I know my fans connect to. And they’ve been so loyal. It doesn’t matter that I’ve been married and have two children. Age is just a number. I’m turning 43. It’s a great time to be in the movies. And ‘hot padosan’? I think it’s a great compliment.”

She continued by telling that she hasn't hidden the fact that she is aging. In spite of people's insistence, she said that she doesn't overly alter her images. “Sometimes people say, ‘No, no, you should’. I’m like, ‘Some days I’m going to look tired, because I’m human, and my fans should know that.’ We’re not always going to be 20, and thank god for that; I don’t want to be 20. I’m having the time of my life, and I’m still the ‘hot padosan’,’ revealed the Chameli actress.
