Review of Dunki starring Shahrukh Khan including Budget, cast and ratings
Dunki portrays the poignant journey of illegal immigrants seeking a better life in Western countries like the USA, the UK, and Europe. Rooted in Punjab, the story echoes the aftermath of the 1984 riots that prompted a community shift towards the West. Successful migrants there became beacons, inspiring others to send their kin. While legal migration avenues emerged gradually, illegal immigration persisted due to stringent eligibility criteria. This narrative sheds light on the sacrifices, hardships, and compromises of migrants pursuing clandestine routes to Western nations.
Story Overview of Dunki
Set in Laltu, “Dunki” follows Manu (played by Taapsee Pannu), Buggu (Vikram Kochhar), and Balli (Anil Grover), yearning to reach London despite language barriers, visa limitations, and encountering swindlers. Enter Hardy (portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan), a soldier aiding their cause. Hardy teaches Manu wrestling to secure a sports visa and later suggests enrolling in English classes for student visas. The group meets Sukhee (Vicky Kaushal), determined to reach London urgently for his beloved. Their journey unfolds through trials, tragedy, and eventually resorting to an illegal path to London, unravelling the ordeals faced in a foreign land.
Honest Review
Shah Rukh Khan delivers a stellar performance, infusing life into the character’s aspirations and pain. Raj Kumar Hirani, known for his emotionally charged narratives, adeptly crafts a drama bordering on reality. The film navigates through heartfelt emotions, thanks to Khan’s portrayal and Hirani’s direction.
Audience Reception
“Dunki” diverges from Khan’s previous action-packed films, presenting a slower, family-oriented narrative. Consequently, it has evoked mixed reactions from audiences. While some label it the actor’s weakest film this year, others commend Khan for his emotive prowess, earning him the title of the King of Romance and Emotions.
Box Office and Budget
Despite varied reviews, “Dunki” has amassed 30 crores in India since its release, despite its 80-crore budget.
Ratings and Recommendation
We rate “Dunki” with 3.5 stars, recommending it to audiences, particularly teens and families, for its enriching portrayal of familial emotions and struggles associated with illegal immigration.
