Also a good campaign to convince idiots that they were making part 2 and 3 with the budget of 400 cr. Dharma productions has backed away from producing it's sequel
After watching "12th Fail", it was evident how big of a role Vidhu Vinod Chopra has played in the writing for Hirani films, just how late writer Sujatha has done for Shankar before "I". There's no doubt that these are top-notch directors, but also no denying the fact that the writing plays a big role in their movies.
@@AmartyaRao356Well he is just referring to the movies on the basis of their stories alone! What you're talking is abt how politically incorrect that Shikara movie was, which I completely agree with!
Having recently watched 12th Fail, I am convinced that the Hirani-VVC combo was certainly the miracle formula. Hirani brought the charm and feel-good moments while VVC infused the raw emotional gravitas that made each of their flicks such a magical experience.
Unpopular opinion: If a film does well on box office even with flaws, it is not being judged. But even a very good film does not perform in box office, we try to find flaws.
@@abdulquadir56 though the subject of Dunki is good, as a movie it has flaws… I felt Dunki should have shown us more about Dunki traveling than why they want to travel illegally and the life they spent in far away fairyland…
Main problem of brahmstra is directors confusion First he wanted to make a love story named dragon_ a fairy tale and in the middle of shoot he changed his mind and trying put astraverse in it ,and mixed everything and after that mess brahmastra is the result😂😂
I am from Nepal and i know a lot of people who went abroad throug the process of dunki . I have heard their stories from themselves and can tell that Mr Rajkumar hirani did a fantastic job with the research for this movie. The movie as a whole has some issues but i will always appreciate Mr Rajkumar Hirani and Mr Shah Rukh Khan for telling their stories.
Same was with me. I am also from Nepal and had this experience with my mum and brother. I was 9 years old. I cried during the whole movie. I watched this movie in Germany. The whole cinema applauded in the ending. People aren’t connected with this movie cause they don’t had this experience.
Dunki is a good plot, and the movie wasn't bad. But I think this is a difficult story to be packed in 2.3 hrs. You dont get the feel and pain of staying abroad etc. This is good story to be shown as webseries
I believe there was some magic effect whenever rajkumar used to collaborate with vidhu vinod chopra. Ever since their combo got separated i felt there was some touch missing in hirani's directorial
This is the first time Hirani made a film not under VVC's house . So ya I agree VVC's inputs would have greatly helped the emotional parts of Dunki and it's clearly evident as you see how 12th fails emotional quotient is way better than that in Dunki
VVC directed last few films - Eklavya - Disaster, Broken Horses- Disaster, Shikhara - Another flop.film and this guy is spinning a narrative that maybe because of his absence the.movie is.not that good 😂😂😂. If Hirani 's next film earns 1000 cr then is magic is back without VVC..people are rush to poke holes in other people's craft at the drop of a hat.
@@joelsaldanha6252couldn’t agree more with you. Indian public and audience have zero memory. Look at how people are salivating over the two deols, acting like they were flop stars post 2004. Even idiots like Anmol Jamwar are feeding into the over exaggerated hate against Dunki (whilst sucking the balls of shitty southern nonsense)
@@joelsaldanha6252 vvc films have always been underrated be it parinda or eklavya or mission kashmir. I believe he is a good director he just makes films in his own way doesn't mind catering for commercial basis
I still think dunki wasn't made to be epic It was a sweet and simple tale Hirani could have made it epic But the scale was small 90 cr budget and 30 cr marketing budget The movie was 1000 times better than salaar tho
In Dunki there were two scenes that made me emotional, one was the court scene the other was ending’s big Ben scene… but I felt the same issues that were highlighted in this video
The main issue with brahmastra was its love story triangle, there was no emotion the audience feelt with the main leads romantic side, but YJHD did it brilliantly I have watched the movie so many times it still got that repeat value, and another boring factor was its impactless dialogues I wished the makers opted for an intense action, with matured dialogues , putting these factor aside the making and vfx really nice Hope they won't ruin the upcoming parts
Brahmastra has got a lot of issues from a writing stand point but I must say it was one of the best theatre experiences I have had from a Bollywood film since like 2018-19. If only the writing and the immature dialogues would have been fixed, we would have got a film to be remembered for a long time.
They could have increased the runtime more to establish characters better instead of rushing. The unsaid chemistry between Alia and Ranbir was very beautiful. The whole intensity of the visuals were destroyed by the dialogues immediately. Still a very good attempt. It did good business despite unfavorable environment when it was released. It could have done much better business.
@@infogames2724 true animal has best editing than bramhastra we can praise srv skills while Jamal kudu lord Bobby introduction transition shot from ranbir to Bobby
Brahmastra failed because of the sole reason of the poor writing!! They should have explored Shiva's psyche more - his fear regarding his powers & how it affects the ones he loves, made Guru's character interesting by giving him the dilemma that whether it is wise for Shiva to know the true potential(as he has immense destructive capabilities - could've made sense then why he was stalling!!), given Isha something substantial(could have been insane if they made her birth something integral to the plot in finding the Brahmastra, and given her powers that resemble the nature of the nurturing mother- Parvati), and obviously made Junoon's origin much more compelling by exploring her connection with Dev(possibly like a surrogate parent-child relationship or someone indoctrinated by Dev to be her servant due his end goal or POV on the powers and their wielders). God, the possibilities were endless!!🥺🤩🔥😔 Hopefully, the sequel sees the light of day!!🤞🤞
The action sequences of Attack can still be commended but I was unable to emotionally resonate with it, something which Khuda Hafiz 2 excelled at(still scarred that the movie didn't do well😭) Also, is there no one who can utilize Vidyut in the right way, not just regarding action but dramatic stuff? It is frustrating to see his potential go to waste!!!
Khuda Haafiz was solid! A fucking solid film till they randomly wanted to take the climax international! It was so gritty and engaging when it was in India. In those narrow streets, the gang brawls and sheer bloodshed, should have stayed there!
I maybe lying to myself but i really loved at what path hirani chose to tell such story of serious topic and atrocities of dunki people through his lighthearted way of storytelling so that u dont feel too deep heavy but still portray the right emotion at right amount. So as u go out after watching it u feel light hearted. This movie was truly a movie to watch with family by the year end.
I think dunki was never about how they took dunki route rather how dunki affected the characters life. But it is true dunki will be more complete without the Raju hirani tag
The longing to go back home however was barely communicated. We went from them getting asylum to them being old instantly. This i believe was the biggest demerit in making that return back home slightly lukewarm vs extremely emotional
@TriedRefusedProductions Since you are an Anupama Chopra chamcha, why don't you make a movie and ask her husband to produce it. Since you have so much knowledge about movies to constantly bash bollywood movies, you could surely come up with a good script in a small budget. I will buy the first ticket because I would want to be emotionally touched by your future highly critically acclaimed movie.
I really do think also, even though I loved the movie, it had it's flaws. If Rajkumar Hirani had just increased the length to 3 hrs 30 minutes, it would've been better.
My problem with Dunk was that why would a patriotic ex-soldier help illegal immigration in the first place. He should know the importance of visas and country security. And why did Hardy go to London in the first place if he never wanted to live there?
There is this idiotic notion that soldiers are a purely patriotic machine like characters and not humans at all. Soldiers do what they do, not just for the country but for their loved ones and they are as human as people can be and they posses those emotions (deeply so due to distance) as a normal human does. So yeah, SRK did what he did for love.
not necessarily atleast I am an exception i am really rooting for every Rk and srk movies tbh but i liked brahmastra coz i don't know somehow the cringe or i shall say naive dialogue worked for me it was badly proceeded love stroy bu they didn't show the process of getting in love which worled for me I hope you get my point I amnot fed up by love stories but the lenght of it.@@dheeraj009.1
Bhediya had a poor climax which was the main reason why the film didn't do as well. Although the origin story was good but some minutes of kriti's story was really needed
I really liked Brahmastra, but the future for the franchise is very doubtful . Especially when Ayan has taken the rights to another studio altogether. Plus Ranbir is doing ramayana and animal 2 , the entire crew is doing other projects . Also even if they shoot it by 2027-28 . The VFX work will take a lot of work which will delay it further
I think they will stop these franchise because animal collections are more when compared to bramhastra most of the Indian productions always look for good roi
Jab Harry Met Sejal was a masterpiece with a bad accent of Anushka. Imitiaz's movie will hit you after a while, just like Tamasha, Laila Majnu, etc. It's the audience who was more into SRK romancing girls half of his age but in the story. . Bhediya was a brilliant attempt. It didn't need to have any horror element as It was a werewolf story who was protecting his land. Again, people rejected it. . People who are living abroad can relate to Dunky. It was a good-feel movie. Simple!!!
Dunki did it's job brilliantly brother. It isn't like Hirani's other films, where he stressed on common topics. I don't think I have seen the topic Dunki took im almost any other film. There may be very few. The reason you didn't feel anything from it is cause you didn't experience Dunki irl. I did, and cried through the 2nd half remembering those awful times. Watched this movie. And I loved it.
Bhediya - 2/3 creativity left the project Prithviraj - bad casting plus utter bad director Brhamastra - buycott gang on its peak Dunki - hirani ji srk bharose, srk ji hirani bhrose, kahani raam bharose😅
Dunki was a good watch. It was a bit different and hard hitting in terms of storytelling. Yes, they could have showed the gritty donkey journey a bit more for the emotional impact but they showed what exactly happens after successfully getting there. The film is more about what could happen after the journey rather than while doing the journey. Whether it’s worth to take the risk even you might successfully reach there. It could have been a massive hit if not having clash with Salaar. Rather than the movie, everyone was fighting over the screens that time and the box office revenues. This film could easily make 300-350 crs without a clash. Those who really experienced this journey in their own life, they connected to the story.
Absolutely right bro. The problem nowadays with these so called critics is that they want to dictate the film makers that 'what the movie should be' rather than comment on 'how the movie was'.
Dunki is still running after 16 days and making money What most people don't understand is that the final motive is to make money which Dunki has done to a great extent
bro Dunki is a Super Hit right now but at the theatre end it will 100% Get a Blockbuster Verdict😍😍❤Just Only Few days more to Get a Blockbuster Verdict❤
@@onasunnyday366lol crossed 400 crore world wide and msg it hit close to 500 crore or even surpass it 😂😂😂.keep crying 😂.No drama romance genre has done since 2019 in Indian cinema 😂😂.from the south to the north .srk can do it .keep crying .
No matter how underwhelming it is, I'd still rewatch Dunki when it comes out on OTT. The overall underwhelming product wouldn't stop me from revisiting the film. This is the third time where SRK collaborated with celebrated directors after JHMS and Zero, and Dunki is a clear among them tbh. That scene where Manu says goodbye to Hardy and SRK's expression in that moment hit so hard.
Hirani magic was there in some parts, example is the scene where Hardy meets Balli and confronts him about sending fake pics back home, and then Balli tells him his compulsion. Sadly this was one of only few places where Hirani magic was, most of the movie just didn't work.
As you said the problem with attack is that we couldn't connect with character's emotions. They could have taken more time to establish the characters.What is the use of good action sequences if you can't connect with the characters
Idk why most PPL see it that way cos I remember how good the transformation was for John Abraham where unlike most heros he takes time, taking slow his action with his "Jarvis". Their interactions were funny as hell. Science behind it made sense. There was an excellent scene where a burglar breaks into his home and John displays amazing emotions as a helpless man where his mom had to come to his rescue. I thoroughly enjoyed Attack cos of these moments and I felt I totally got the gist of the main lead.
Plus one .. loved Bhediya! And we had caught it in a hall -- everyone in the theater was enjoying it, really.. don't know why it didn't find many takers
I think the reason for failure of Brahmastra was its editing of both movie and promotional material. If they hadnt revealed much of the money shots in trailer , the film would have been so much better . Like Deva Deva song , imagine we saw that first time in the theatres it would have blown our minds
I remember you said in your review that if you're watching dunki and expecting a classic hirani flick with laugh and emotions with Drama you'll enjoy it but if you're expecting evolution in hirani's film making you'll be disappointed yes it was not as great as his previous legendary films but still it was a fairly good movie with characters I connected with rooted for it had beautiful old school humour and a climax which was very emotional when nikle the kabhi hum ghar se played everyone shed a tear.... speaking of evolution what evolution you find in Rajamouli's filmmaking in RRR when you named it the best film of 2022....and btw it's a normal disagreement from my side bro big fan of your channel from a long time 😅
Obviously we can agree to disagree. You loved Dunki, I found it just alright. I loved RRR (character introductions, the emotional arc of Ram Charan was beautifully etched out, action set pieces in my opinion only worked in bits) you did not like it that much!
@@TriedRefusedProductions I loved RRR as well enjoyed it more than dunki it's just that we as a audience tend to go a little Light towards a action spectacle films in terms of flaws but never give drama films the same Liberty I only disagreed on the evolution part you were talking about bruh!!! And nothing else... I really enjoyed RRR
@@TriedRefusedProductionsRRR was such a bad movie when you compare it to last Rajamouli venture. It was so over the top, loud and there were no logics in the story. It made a big business due to Rajamouli sir otherwise it was an average movie
Anyone thought the comedy in Dunki was partly ripped off from 3 idiots and that Vicky Kaushal was just a Joy lobo of the film? Anyone else thought the entire craze to meet Hardy in the first sequence felt like Farhan and Raju's craze to meet Rancho?
I agree, they messed up in so many aspects in Dunki. The characters need to go to London wasn't explored and what happened to three of them in their 25 years stay in London also wasn't shown. Also the title was Dunki but they hardly focused on the journey. Actors like Boman Irani were wasted and there were so many unnecessary sequences like the Dubai one. I guess the best in Raju Hirani comes out when VVC is producing and he is working with an actor, not a star. I felt many sequences in the film was not to carry the story forward but just to boost SRK's image as a saviour.
I believe that dunki is actually a good film and it's unfair by the audience to expect every hirani film to be as good as or beat three idiots or munna bhai.. A film should be judged for what it is and dunki was definitely funny, entertaining with a message to take back.. That's all one wanted and hirani did give it
I watched the film in the theater and I didn't really like it. I live in the US and the entire moonoligue if visas should be given easily didn't make sense. Why would Hardy, coming from a military background, ever support illegal immigration. He should know the importance of security of a country
I loved brahmastra. Yes, it does feel like a kids' story with super bad dialogues. Like my ears are still traumatized from listening to those in theatres 😂. But overall, I loved the movie and experience. I am all excited for its sequels, and I believe that Ayan Mukherjee will do a better work with Dev and Amrita's story with excellent VFX, like in part 1.
I think Dunki should hv never started with the characters in their old age. It just took away the feeling of danger while we watched them get to England. Personally, I think vicky kaushal's death should hv been the inciting incident, hardy and manu getting separated at court as the interval. It really didn't help the movie that dunki part of the movie was basically a montage.
See I watched dunki today... Have seen review..so managed expectation... My POV... Movie Is a good watch and gives you a feel good feel... Comedy as per is not as that of idiots level...but is good..and some scene a indeed very funny... And despite it's flaws... I had a teary eye at the end..! Tu radio wapis krne gaya tha aur laalto mein hi zindagi guzaar di...had me!❤
Loved your analysis. Brahmastra did really gud at the box office plus I don’t think it went that down, yes the dialogue part but it was a great movie experience for all.
I absolutely loved Bhediya and Attack. Both movies had very fresh concepts with impeccable comic timing. I was surprised by John Abrahams comic timing. I find Attack as one of the best sci-fi actions India has ever created.
Action sequence was really boring to watch man in a freaking action movie due to those cuts and unnecessary slow motion.. if the action was done like his another movie Rocky handsome then it would have been awesome
@@itihasadhikari240 yes! I liked the story was straightforward but the quick cuts and haphazard editing in the action scenes spoiled it for me. Like, rocky handsome had way better editing when it comes to action scenes..
I feel, if they ever make a Game (Soulborne game) based in India, Bhramastra can be a phenomenal option. I mean, they had debacle games Like Ra.one, Ghajini and Don 2. Bhramastra can be an amazing Game. But with the gaming standards we have as of now, to make a game like that, Kjo can go in debts
The presentation of the actor is in the director's hands. To present Vikram rathore in a way that first showcases his bandages on hand burning and then his eyes and then his whole face was up to Atlee. Siddharth Anand said in pathaan's success press conference that if the film fails then it's the director's fault because he gave you everything that you asked for.
Excellent analysis! I recommend please explore cases otherwise as well where weird projects, like the movie "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi,". Initially seemed unlikely to succeed on paper but turned out to be blockbuster hits due to outstanding performances and a compelling screenplay. Seemingly implausible plot of a wife failing to recognize her husband just because of removing mustache and a little hair-do. Yet the film's emotional depth has resonated with audiences, making it a memorable and rewatchable experience for many, myself included. ✨✨🌟🌟
@Jammy, I liked Bhediya, Brahmastra & Dunki in theatre. Not sure why you always look for a wholesome experience with every movie. Every movie is different.
@@jimmyreviews1486 how come then u force people do not want to watch JHMS when they feel fed up 😂😂😂 which had way more potential. I think imitiaz ali took inspiration from a tamil-telugu bilingual movie released in 2016, Directed by Gautam Vasudev Menon, Starring naga chaitanya in telugu version Silambarasan T.R in tamil version, It also didn't have story like thing much and was released as a "road" movie
@@jimmyreviews1486 but I agree with u on Jagga jasoos, since it was a disney styled movie made in india for the 1st time, that too a honest attempt, that's why I feel its an honest attempt with less flaws and movie which can become interesting as u dive deep (happens with very less movies with somewhat different narrative), I felt its better than Archies, u connect with characters in Jagga jasoos easily as compared to Archies where u feel like we are watching something alienated or someone mimicly something badly even though we can understand the spoken language there 😂
Including dunki and speaking of it in same breadth as flops like prithviraj and others seems like a disservice or rathwr an intetnional dissing of a film which is still running in theatres...every film would have some issues here and there ..but including it here as if saying its a flop doesnt seem right to me especially when the other film released with it was as much of a disappointment or even more..😮
I think we are not willing to accept something new until it's validated...eg. R.A one people started praising it until they saw something very bad VFX cinema. Similarly emotional scenes are bound to story if you can simply add very emotional scenes in every story that won't survive or connect. Here people are seeing cinema in the lense of critics which was not the case previously.sholey worked after 3-4 weeks it's connected with people. Now people cry good movie are not coming and yet for good movies they don't go to theatre and then jammy will cry this movie deserves to watch
@@TriedRefusedProductions Well, I kinda felt for Sanjay Dutt when I watched Sanju, talking about connect.. the best film in his filmography, IMO, is 3 idiots. Even LRMB was quite impactful (especially the scene when Munna apologies to Circuit)
Vikram Vedha, despite being a remake, truly deserved a wider audience. Unfortunately, the marketing efforts fell short at the grassroots level, limiting its reach. The lack of enthusiasm from the makers, possibly due to internal disputes, contributed to a missed opportunity in promoting their own product.This disinterest likely affected the film's overall visibility and reception. Additionally, the choice of the release date played a pivotal role. With the low pricing a week before the official release for everyone movie for one day ( 50rs or 100rs )audiences flocked to theaters, filling them to capacity for that day.A more strategic marketing approach could have amplified the film's impact and garnered the attention it rightfully deserved.
We can't really say it was VVC's absence that led to the Dunki not being one of the best of 2023. VVC himself has made poor movies (example being Shikara). I am sure VVC gave creative inputs during the making of other Hirani ventures, but by saying that VVC's absence was the reason behind Dunki not being best we are undermining Hirani the filmmaker. The VVC absence topic has become more prevalent because 12th Fail is an outstanding film. Dunki itself as a topic was so niche that less people could connect with it. Hirani did a few things for the first time in Dunki which he never did before it so I think somehow he missed the mark there. Anyway it has done good business if we see from the budget to gross collection ratio so every stakeholder has made money. ROI to acha hi hai.
Your 3rd video trying to prove Dunki was a bad movie. I accept it was not a great movie but definitely a good watch. Will earn 450cr+ WW against a budget of 120cr is definitely a successful venture. Also if we consider an audience shift to action nowadays. Eventually will earn more than Tiger 3 which should have been added in this list rather.
Im still waiting for a kabir+salman collab although i know tubelight didn't work out. Where kabir focuses on the story and ensures that Salman acts properly.Tubelight had wrong casting as a muscular actor like salman never matched proper to the role.
For me as a film i disliked tubelight but i never disliked salman khan and his acting in the movie. I dont know why but as soon as salman turns on his more expressive/emotional character mode inside him it kind of hits me in the right place. I think the bhai image he has created in the fanbase sometimes makes him lag behind in choosing scripts like bajrangi bhaijaan.
@@DP-jl6qysummed up perfectly, when he tries to do something different, his fans want him in same action flick. Bajrangi is my favorite SALMAN movie in last 15 years. Hoping Kabir and Salman announces Babaar Sher soon. Super excited for the reunion.
Dunki In my opinion was a realy nice movie. It attracted those people more who live abroad. May be local people wont find that connection. The acting, music and emotional scenes were really good. People may have not liked it at the moment but will become a cult classic in coming years. Really loved watch it in cinema despite few draw backs.
It is, dont listen to people carrying their gigantic expectations to get the next 3 idiots. It is a good film, might not be rajkumar hirani's best work but a really good movie on its own.
One thing you should know is that "Hirani" - never creates beautiful chemistry & love story in his movies. The love story is not marinated well. They will Just be cute together & like each other that's it
After a lot of high octane dishoom dishoom movies, Dunki was refreshing. i disagree with your views on the movie, as someone staying far from his home to support his family, this movie connected in a way.. My mom watched it yesterday and was so happy. So i get watching it with a reviewers eye, this movie did its job of entertaining
Jo bhi ho, I want Brahmastra 2, also waiting for Stree 2, and more new SRK projects where we see the actor SRK in it, may be a comedy with Raj and DK, a drama with SLB or SRV, a film with Kabir Khan .
After i watched Cinemaan video about Brahmastra, he explained its problem on editing of the film, which i also felt while watching it. Brahmastra must focus on dialouges and editing of the movie to be impactful
Bhediya was a decent/good movie. It doesn't deserve to be in this list.In fact, Bhediya series movies except Roohi were far better than the hits of the year- Pathan, Jawaan, Gadar2.
you know what exactly went wrong with dunki? it's the hypocrisy of indian audience asking for quality content over same cringe ass action and then when it's released they cry that they didn't expect this. imo dunki was actually a good movie which focuses on several important issues and aspects. if your taste shifted towards action then you can't blame the other movie for being okayish..
you're still not talking about the film and its elements. The perceived notion about the audience not accepting content other than action was already disproven by OMG 2 and 12th fail
Why can't u fans accept that dunki ain't a masterpiece..... Neither zero nor fan was.... Don't call these quality content dunki was avg at best.... And the other were terrible
It has already done better than 12th fail and OMG2 if numbers are concerned jammy,the thing is people who are calling dunki average like you have no valid point or criticism apart from it not the best rkh film which is the stupidest criticism I have ever heard from critic(if you like to call yourself that)
I don’t know about Dunki. I loved it. It was funny and sweet. It may be the weakest of Hirani movies but I wasn’t a big fan of his earlier movies. So Dunki didn’t disappoint me. I laughed when they were laughing and cried when they were crying. I could feel what they felt. So I loved Dunki. Apart from cheesy dialogues, I didn’t find the romance cringe in Brahmastra. But the movie is a visual treat and being part of a trilogy I can forgive some cheesy dialogues. I didn’t watch other movies.
I think Bhediya is just over analyzed. I liked the movie and your comments on developing Kristi’s character and giving a message on the environment is not what this movie is meant to be about. It’s about someone who gets bitten by wolf and the things he does after he transforms into one. This movie delivers it. It’s a short and crisp movie and adding backstories or messages just increases the run time to like 2h 40m and there will be criticism that the movie is long. Besides there weren’t many werewolf movies that has had great characterization it’s meant just to be entertaining with no such message therefore I’m satisfied
Maybe it's because I'm from Arunachal Pradesh but I loved Bhediya. (Maybe it's because we don't really get represented in any form in other parts of India.)
I mean bollywood is North Indian industry.... It will represent north india only . That's why South India has their own industry .... Similarly other states . I think North -east Indians should also make their own industry..... It will help other people to understand their cultures..... Maybe it will gain popularity like South Indians are getting. The majority of people do know about north east india.... Especially in 2024 .
@@Aradhaya45720 I get what you are saying and you are not wrong. But the fact of the matter is that we are not as developed as other parts of India, we became a state in 1987 and the other film industries you are referring to is older than my state. Moreover we only have like 15 movie theatre in the whole state so even if we make movies they don't earn their money back and our movie making knowledge/technical ability is very low. P.s. I know other states are not obligated to make a movie about us. All I'm saying is when I see myself get represented in Indian movies it makes me happy.
Dunki was a ambitious project and definitely even Hirani would agree its his weakest . The movie wasnt bad in any way but when compared it will stand nowhere near PK or 3 Idiots ! The audience has loved the movie too specially in abroad. And personally also i think the second half was extremely good and emotional. Dunki route could have been shown more but ofcourse Hirani didn't wanted the movie to lose its family audience. Also the hyping up unnecessarily like its a movie to be watched even more times than 3 Idiots also increased the expectations which it didnt matched.
Honest opinion-All you film critics are boomers or millenial and me being a non south delhi/bombay gen-z connected with naivity or in your words cringe dialogues becoz maybe ayan is targetting teens and young ones of same age bracket as me (13-20). You all wanted a love story getting developed or feeling organic but I being naive wanted it exactly the wy it went i.e. the are already in love and are grown up so no waste in developing and straight to story I can feel it as the seqel which released first and second part giving the reasoning . I really fed with the simple,predictable yet visually good story and have a lot of expectations from sequels coz it is probably the best and biggest sc fi universe we have got .(being honest I don't have hopes from kalki due to the male lead even though visuals look good)
Peoblem with audiences and critics.. why we are comparing these movies to director's previous work? Swedesh compared with lagaan... bhediya with stree.. dunki with 3 idiots... mostly movies appreciate in ott.
People who were disappointed by Dunki should check out aaja mezico chaliye( a Punjabi film) the film is essentially what we were expecting from Dunki but done right
In dunki, the court scene should be the last scene and all of them should come back. after interval film should show more problem to all 4 , one might die , all should realise their sadness, lonliness and try to have mixed emotion of going or not to india.
3 Idiots: Define Machine Dunki: Define Language 3 Idiots: Start with a phone call, and then the story moves to the past Dunki: Same 3 Idiots: Hero left college, and they meet at the end Dunki: Same I find similarities in PK and Sanju also. I think the director believes he has a hit formula; he just needs to use different actors, a social issue, and make money. Tell me what you guys think about this.
Dunki the dunki analysis was too the point accurate. I mean the whole dunki route was hardly a 20 min think while the movie name is "dunki" itself 😂 Also the emotion of "hum apne ghar ja rhe hai" was useless as there wasn't any reason
