Dunki First Half Review: Shah Rukh Khan's Social Comedy Drama Is A Dark Tale Of Real Life People

New Delhi: Rajkumar Hirani's wholesome comedy drama Dunki marks Shah Rukh Khan's return from a string of high-octane action films that nearly marked his thunderous homecoming.
Fans were undoubtedly mesmerised by SRK's combat sequences, but this movie features an older version of the actor. The one that will tickle your funny bones, not a romantic young man gallivanting across mustard fields. Although Shah Rukh Khan is still somewhat underappreciated for his comical timing, he has always been praised for his romance.
Khan and Hirani are a new duo that Dunki introduces to us that we were not aware we needed. The film's plot is on four friends who want to move to London so as to escape their miserable lives and start new ones. The narrative is based on actual encounters of young people in Punjab, thus it is not entirely fictitious. The director creates a picture that is relatable by drawing on people's real-life experiences.

Dunki tells us a tale of a period when going to a faraway country looked to be the only option to live a happy life during the reverse immigration era. Shah Rukh Khan as Hardy, an army man, takes on the task of attaining his new acquaintances' goals.
The film's first part follows these people as they accomplish their goals through various ruses and tasks. They do everything, from learning English in three months to losing every saved penny to dishonest visa agent. As a last resort, Hardy and his friends risk their lives to come to London after all else fails and there appears to be no other hope. Despite being pitched as a comedy, the movie tells a dark tale of people fleeing their homes in search of basic necessities in a foreign land.
