I just watched Dunki and I consider it a new masterpiece. I don't know how it will do at the box office but I find that topic very frivolous in the first place. This will go down as a classic in SRK's portfolio of films like Swades. It reminded me most of Swades, Veer-Zaara, DDLJ, and My Name is Khan so what excellent films to be compared to. ...

Coming back this Christmas Eve morning to my favourite topic your review is the apt beginning of the day with its take about humanity and the good feeling you give me.

Although I'm well aware that the perception of a same movie can be very different on the feeling level (which then gets 'explained' with the brain), Dunki in no way deserves the kind of bashing some indulge in.

I don't have an interest to compare Dunki to other (Hirani) movies, except for what you mention in term of familiar scenes seen in other SRK movies. He is doing it for years - linking his work through allusions to other of his movies (depending on the subject). It makes me smile as it gives me the impression of the journey he did these more than 30 years with very distinctive stations and proceedings.

You write about boundaries in the political sense nations made out of economic reasons but there are also the 'boundaries' people make up in themselves which get quite flexible when in the own interest. Some of those individual 'lands' I fly over as I've lost the interest to land there...in others - in the contrary - I feel fine, I feel the human spirit I cherish. Your 'land' definitely is one of them, not because I agree but because of the way you express yourself.

Thanks for your writing

Edit: I don't know why the tagging isn't showing in the post because it shows when writing the post... (I just quoted a small part so others know that it is a reply to you...)

PR houses are taking advantage of Taran's absence. India-forums is also one of them. BOI only reports Hindi collections and its reach is limited.

They spread negative articles to set a narrative and influence people's perceptions. For instance, India-forums posted an article claiming Dunki saw a significant dip on day 2. However, another major movie released the same day, lost all screens in south. But they ignored all that.

Now, Salaar sees a drop on Day 2, but it's acceptable because the Hindi collection remains consistent.

Convenience ke hisaab se Hindi convenience ke hisaab se hisab se all language worldwide .also ww collection me 1din pehle ka premier shows (10x ticket rates)

Kuch clarity nahi kuch pata nahi bas negativity spread karo

True, but all I’m saying is that the film has not done well compared to Jawan and Pathan’s opening days. Not sure why some other people here are having a breakdown though (not you)

I understand that the film hasn't performed well as Jawan and Pathan. Dunki trailer didn't make the strongest impression and failed to leave a lasting impact and may not have connected well with a broader audience. Tell me audiences generally prefer movies that offer action and a mass appeal.But still earned a 30 cr on its first day.

See personally for me......how much a movie makes....means how many people watched it....and that is success for me....but yes technically speaking ....its difficult for a movie with 85 cr budget and it will go past its budget in 2 days.....to flop....

Also if someone's failure.....becomes the source of happiness for someone....then it is really really sad...

It's unfortunate when people find joy in others' failures.
