WION's review of Dunki
In her review of the film, Shomini Sen wrote, "Dunki also comes out in a year when the alpha-male and action heroes have been lapped up in India. Hirani's sensibilities, therefore, may feel dated in a year like 2023. Nevertheless, Dunki has its heart in the right place and tries to convey an important message wrapped in Hirani's quintessential style of entertainment."
