Dunki Why, Hirani, why? What prompted him to make this godforsaken misfire? What has happened to the brilliant flair for farce and social comment he once displayed in Munnabhai MBBS and its even superior sequel Lage Raho Munnabhai? Hirani’s last work Sanju , which was a cream-cracker version of a stubbornly adventurous life, was mired in mediocrity. But at least it wasn’t dull. Dunki is dreadfully torpid. In terms of sense and sensibility , coherence and basic common sense, it is a better film than Shah Rukh Khan’s two other films Pathaan and Jawaan this year. But that’s no consolation
