A Rajkumar Hirani film, we believed, could not go wrong. From Munna Bhai MBBS to Sanju, for 15 years, he has won millions of hearts. Dunki, his first collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, has created unprecedented excitement for obvious reasons. But the film fails to live up to expectations. The question is, why?
Hirani films always had excellent screenplay and dialogue, perfect characterizations, costumes, songs, background score, and more. DUNKI is not a match for Hirani’s outstanding track record.
The plot is about the poor, uneducated people’s aspiration to settle in England. Set in Laltu, a small Punjab village, it has such aspirants as Manu (Taapsee Pannu), Baggu (Vikram Kochhar), Balli (Anil Grover), and Sukhi (Vicky Kaushal). They do everything to get the UK visa, but in vein. A visiting soldier, Hardy Singh (SRK), has come to the village to say thanks to his savior, now dead, whose sister is Manu.
