Critical reaction
With an average rating of 5.90/10, five out of the eighteen reviews left by critics on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes are positive.
Even if Dunki isn’t as good as Hirani’s other films, like 3 Idiots or PK, it’s still entertaining and makes you feel good, according to Tushar Joshi of India Today, who gave it a rating of 4 out of 5. Dunki’s story is heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time, with friendship and romance all rolled into one, according to Times of India’s Sreeparna Sengupta, who also gave it four out of five stars. In keeping with Hirani’s signature approach, the film presents a powerful message while also including satirical and comedic elements to create an enjoyable experience.
