Dunki Review: More Screen Time To Vicky Kaushal Could Have Saved SRK's Film
Priya Hazra of ABP Live writes, "From 'Pardes' to 'Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge', Bollywood has produced films that glorify life abroad. Rajkumar Hirani's social drama reveals the truth, which is one of fixation and feeling powerless, shattering the rose-tinted bubble. During the reverse immigration times, 'Dunki' reminds us of an era in which moving to a foreign country looked to be the only way to sustain. The film, despite its comedic tone, depicts a gloomy tale about folks forced to abandon their homes in bunkers solely to take on odd jobs in order to make a living for their families."
