Reception

Critical response

Dunki received mixed reviews from critics. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 57% of 14
critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.10/10.[64]

Tushar Joshi of India Today gave 4/5 stars and wrote "Dunki might not be Hirani's best work in comparison
to 3 Idiots or PK, but it still entertains and leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling".[65] Sreeparna
Sengupta of Times of India also gave 4/5 stars and wrote, "Dunki's story is an emotional one - rolling in
friendship, romance, heart-wrenching and heart-warming moments all into one. And in trademark Hirani
style, there are dollops of comedy which is laced with satire to make it an entertaining ride, along with the
strong message the film brings forth".[66] A reviewer for Pinkvilla considered it "a modern-day classic", but
was critical of the film's pace.[67] A reviewer from Bollywood Hungama awarded the film 3.5/5 stars and
wrote "Dunki bears the Rajkumar Hirani stamp of filmmaking with the right message and emotions as a
backdrop. However, it is not as outstanding as his previous films as the writing plays spoilsport to a great
extent."[68] Filmfare's Devesh Sharma was pleased by the film's messaging of "a world beyond borders",
and praised the performances of Khan and Pannu.[69] Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times labelled
it a "heartwarming tale that's high on emotions", but despite praising the performances of Khan and Pannu,
she was displeased with their chemistry.[70]

NDTV's Saibal Chatterjee believed that the film's strength lay in its ability to not be in service of Khan's
stardom, instead allowing the supporting cast to shine, particularly Vicky Kaushal.[71] A reviewer for Film
Companion also believed that Kaushal's special appearance had enhanced the "simplistic" film.[72] Writing
for The Hindu, Anuj Kumar considered Dunki "not the best of Hirani but has just about enough to make
you chuckle and churn".[73] Mint Lounge's Uday Bhatia compared it negatively to The Dupes (1973), a
Syrian film about border crossing, writing that unlike that film, Dunki "is only interested in illegal
immigration and the refugee crisis to the extent that it allows Hirani and Khan to grandstand".[74]
Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com opined, "Dunki is high on ambition but its flimsy premise renders this nearly
three hours long journey into farfetched adventures hard to believe, harder to buy into".[75] Nandini
Ramnath of Scroll.in dismissed the film as "flat and unfunny", adding that the "strangely anodyne film is
briefly enlivened by Khan's dimpled charm and spirited turns by Taapsee Pannu, Vikram Kocchar and Anil
Grover".[76] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express criticised it as a "crashing bore" and considered it
Hirani's weakest film.[77]

Internationally, Manjusha Radhakrishnan of Gulf News rated the film 4/5 and wrote "Illegal immigration
and unauthorised cross-border migrant crossings are grim issues, but director Rajkumar Hirani humanized
them with an emotionally engaging tale".[78] David Tusing of The National wrote "With Dunki, Khan takes
on a poignant immigration tale with a whole lot of heart that's bound to strike a chord with audiences".[79]

Box office

Dunki had the 13th-biggest advance booking of all time for a Hindi film.[80] On its opening day, it collected
a net total of ₹28 crore (US$3.5 million) in India.[3][81] It had net domestic collections of ₹20 crore
(US$2.5 million) and ₹24.5 crore (US$3.1 million) on its second and third day, respectively.[3][82][83]

As of 24 December 2023, Dunki has grossed ₹125.31 crore (US$16 million) in India, with a further
₹85.75 crore (US$11 million) in overseas, for a worldwide estimate of ₹211.06 crore (US$26 million).[3]

Notes
a. According to Pinkvilla, the combined cost of producing and marketing the film was ₹120
crore.[2]
b. "Dunki" loosely translates from Punjabi to English to mean "to hop from place to place".[4]
