While Dunki is not Hirani's best work, it certainly is one of the better narrative driven films of SRK in a while. SRK'S performance is really good apart from a select few scenes. In Jawan and Pathan we saw SRK the superstar, in Dunki we see the actor SRK. As far the other cast members ho, Vicky Kaushal deliver's a fantastic performance regardless of short screen time. Tapsee and others also deliver a good performance. I feel Boman Irani was under utilized but performed great as he usually does. First half of movie is comedy and will make you laugh whereas the whole second half is more serious but somewhat slow paced. But it will certainly get an emotional response from you. The social message the film drives through about people wanting to go to abroad and those not having the means to do so resort to Dunki. But when they get there it's not sunshine and roses and life there can be harsh. That harsh reality is depicted in this movie. All songs are really good and they are choreographed really well and add to the storytelling. In terms of soundtrack this is definitely the best of Hirani's films. I will however say the chemistry of SRK and Tapsee could have been stronger and due to this some emotional scenes lose some of their Impact. Also the twenty five year time lapse could have shown how the trio of Tapsee and friends struggled and how much better off they were when they wanted to go back to India. This sequence could have just been depicted in a song. Overall, Dunki is a great family entertainer but not the best film of Hirani.

Jawan is a mass masala movie and that is exactly what it delivered. Watching this one in theatre is a lifetime experience. This is one of the those movies, which has a great replay value and a movie I want to watch over and over again. While I am a fan of SRK, his films over the last decade were mostly hit or miss. I can recall liking Don 2 and Fan from his last decade. While Chennai Express and Happy New Year were ok and did great numbers, they were still below average movies. People had grown tired of SRK same old act of Lover boy or Romantic hero. SRK reinvented himself with Pathaan, but here he just stands out as the superstar that he is. It has been so long that I enjoyed an SRK film this much. Pathaan was also entertaining but did not blow me away but Jawan just has that flair to it. SRK's role as Vikram also opens up the realm of possibility of SRK playing an old man in his films, much like Amitabh did. Nayan Tara had a good performance but she got sidetracked in the second half. Vijay Sethupati was a convincing villain and had a menacing presence but I feel he could have benefited from more screen time. Deepika nails it in her special appearance. All the girls in Azad's squad deliver great performance. Sanjay Dutt was also good in his cameo. Songs are really good but not great. Challeya is my favorite among them all but Not Ramaiya Vaisawaya and Zinda Banda ha are also good. In conclusion Jawan is a masala film, if you try to watch it expecting an intelligent film with a brilliant narrative and a brilliant story telling then maybe it is not for you. If you go into it expecting a mass entertainer, you will be blown away.

Amazing Graphics and great gameplay and that's it for the positives. The plot is all over the place and kind of a mess, the characters behave completely out of character from the first and the ending is just flat out unsatisfactory.
