Riding the waves of success, the Shah Rukh Khan-led film 'Dunki' has surpassed the remarkable milestone of Rs 100 crores at the box office. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the movie hit screens on December 21, 2023, receiving an enthusiastic reception from both viewers and critics alike. Hansal Mehta has now shared his review of the film.

On Monday, Hansal Mehta took to platform X and wrote, "I really enjoyed #Dunki. Not perfect but so what. It’s perfectly fine. It gave me what I miss at the movies. It was nostalgic, heartfelt, simple and an ode to what our films once used to be. Not a film I want to overanalyse or overthink. Give me a @RajkumarHirani film any day. Nice to end the year with @iamsrk tugging at your heart strings, looking into her eyes with love and playing a softie. Lovely ensemble and an enduring charm pervades the film which is not a drama, not a comedy, not a tragedy and not a thriller. It is a Rajkumar Hirani film all the way. Go watch it and decide for yourself." 

Speaking to The Deadline, King Khan talked about the plot of 'Dunki'. He said, "In English, my film would be called Donkey. But the way, a part of India pronounces the word, it is ‘Dunki’. The Punjabis say it as Dunki. How much should I tell you about the film…It is a film directed by one of the most brilliant filmmakers we have in our country, Mr Raju Hirani. It is written by a fantastic writer, Abhijat Joshi. It is a story of people who want to come back home when you finally get the calling."
