Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki was finally released globally on Thursday, December 21, and the fans all around the world are praising it. Several videos of the fans are going viral where they can be seen shaking legs on SRK’s song.

The emotions that Rajkumar Hirani’s characters evoke in viewers have carved out a special place in their hearts for his cinematic universe. He’s one of the few directors that can captivate you with the story with simply the narration of the tale.

Hirani doesn’t use situations with a lot of visual effects or loud conversation. Rather, he concentrates more on the writing and the dialogue of his characters. Five years afterwards, Hirani returns to theatres with his very first picture starring Shah Rukh Khan.

Audiences in New Zealand attended one of the earliest shows, and he shared his first impression of Dunki on X, formerly known as Twitter. The social media user praised Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan for Dunki, and called it an excellent patriotic movie. Additionally, he remarked that Vicky Kaushal’s performance would move you. Taapsee Pannu plays the key role in Dunki as well.

A user said, 1st half is a roller coster, while another appriciated Vicky Kuashal and said his performance will be remebered ever. A third user said, Rajkumar Hirani does it again. Others also appriciated the film.

Those who want to enter a country illegally are referred to as Dunki. The narrative of Hirani begins in Punjab and travels all over the world to the Middle East and London. Shah Rukh Khan’s character Hardy Singh meets a group of outcasts who hope to one day travel to London. Despite their Indian origins and affinity for the regional tastes and hues, their hearts skip a beat as Big Ben is brought up. But getting to London is not a simple task. It’s lined with perilous quizzes and examinations where the team must study English to obtain the necessary visa.

Even though SRK is the main attraction, Hirani makes sure to give the other actors plenty of opportunities to shine. Hirani’s specialties have always been writing and conversation. Hirani’s distinctive feel-good comedy and straightforward style are evident in Dunki’s first half, which is multilayered and subtle.

Vicky Kaushal is fantastic as Sukhi, and thankfully the character has been developed by the writers despite his little appearance. When called upon, he may be ferocious and quiet at the same time. Taapsee seizes the opportunity to kill. Her timing on the comedic lines with SRK is flawless.
