Honest Opinion on "Dunki"

<p>It&rsquo;s a film review time and today we are going to give our opinion on movie &ldquo;<big>Dunki</big>&rdquo;.</p> <ul> <li><big>Story</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">Dunki is the way to settle in foreign land in an illegal way without having the visa. So, the story revolves around five friends who are keen to go to England but having little to no English knowledge and how they suffer in the process. Whether they get to England for better life style forms the basic storyline of this movie.</p> <ul> <li><big>Direction</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">The director of the movie is Rajkumar Hirani who has made classic movie in the past but somehow fails to make the movie of his standard in this one. There were some part where he did great job but considering overall movie, its not to the mark. Although it&rsquo;s a dram and film on social commentary, he fails to give proper message to the audience. Considering his track record, this is the weakest film in his career.</p> <ul> <li><big>Performance</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">The movie stars Shahrukh Khan(Hardy), Tapsee Pannu(Mannu), Boman Irani(Geetu Gulati), Vikram Kochhar(Buggu Lakhanpal), Anil Grover(Balli) with Vicky Kaushal(Sukhi) in special appearance. Here Hardy was shown as ex army officer but after shifting to village named Laltu he do his best for his friend to shift them to London. Shahrukh Khan&rsquo;s performance was just ok considering how great of a performer he is.</p> <p style="margin-left:48px">Tapsee Pannu also did ok job here as there were never shown high tension in her character.</p> <p style="margin-left:48px">Boman Irani was shown as an IELTS teacher and looks like he was used only for comedy gag.</p> <p style="margin-left:48px">Vikram Kochhar was in my opinion the funniest character. His low IQ and sense of humor creates the most of comedy scenes in the movie.</p> <p style="margin-left:48px">Anil Grover was also fun to watch.</p> <p style="margin-left:48px">Vicky Kaushal was in my opinion the perfect character to play the role. He has proper motive shown to go to England and his performance was also effective. His character is the sole reason for the story to move further.</p> <ul> <li><big>Cinematography</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">The cinematographer of this movie was C.K. Muraleedharan, Manush Nandan, Amit Roy and Kumar Pankaj who did commendable job in their department.</p> <ul> <li><big>Music</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">The music was given by Pritam and the music is one of the strongest quality of the movie. Whether its romantic song or patriotic song, all have great impact on the movie.</p> <ul> <li><big>Drama and comedy</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">As the movie is of drama and comedy genre, it lacks the depth on showing it. The stakes were never to high for the character on a dunki mission. There were some portion were the character had miserable time but the viewer cannot connect through it. And comedy was also just ok. There were some one liner which were funny but overall was not impactful.</p> <ul> <li><big>Production design</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">We should give props to production design as it was executed well.</p> <ul> <li><big>Run time</big></li> </ul> <p style="margin-left:48px">The run time of the movie is 2 hours and 41 minutes long which could have been edited by Rajkumar Hirani to make it crisp editing by excluding some sub plots and putting the dunki journey a little bit long as it can have impact on the audience as the stake can be shown higher.</p> <p>Overall, Dunki was a light-hearted drama movie showing how the people will be treated in foreign soil and was just ok product considering the names associated with it. The dunki journey of the character should be a little longer which was the core of the movie as it helps to show the difficulties of the character and can make the movie bit emotional. In my opinion, Dunki was just ok cinematic experience as the expection were so high.</p> <p style="margin-left:48px">&nbsp;</p>

Nepali Movie Industry: History and its New Age Rise

<p><span style="color:black">The history of Nepali movie industry is around 60 years long. Although, it is not that big of an industry but it has significant impact within the country&rsquo;s population. Nepali movies industry is also referred as &ldquo;Kollywood&rdquo; which is similar in context of Tamil movie industry. The primary center for Kollywood is Kathmandu. Besides Kathmandu, there are various other location like Pokhara, Biratnagar, Chitwan where the multiplex has been created to show nepali movie. The advancement on technology helps the movie creator to build new content for showcasing. It is estimated that <span style="background-color:white">Rs 1.65 billion is the worth of Nepali film market which produce around 100 movie a year which will further increase in the coming years.</span></span></p> <h3><span style="color:#2f5496"><strong><span style="color:black">History</span></strong></span></h3> <p><span style="color:black">Talking about the first film of Nepal, <span style="background-color:white">it was D.B. Pariyar&#39;s&nbsp;</span>Satya Harishchandra, which was the first Nepali-language movie to be shot which was released on 14 September 1951. Although it was Nepali movie but it was produced in Kolkota, India. The first movie produced in Nepal was Aama which was released on 7 October 1964 was produced the government of Nepal. The first film to be produced under a private banner was Maitighar, which was released at the end of 1966.The first 25 years of the industry was not so good as there was not &nbsp;around 25 feature films developed in that time frame but it increases gradually in 1980&rsquo;s. With the commercial success of movies like Kusume Rumal, Saino, Koseli, Lahure, Kanchhi the industry saw the rise of various actors like Bhuwan KC, Rajesh Hamal, Shiva Shrestha, Karishma Manandhar, Gauri Malla and so on. With the commercial success, the rapid growth of movie production happened in early 90&rsquo;s with more that 140 movies made in around three years. But the mid-90&rsquo;s became hard for the industry due to maoist insurgency which directly affect the market as few movies has been created and many of them flopping at the box office. Only selected movies were viewed by audience and in 2000&ndash;2001, the then-highest-grossing Nepali film Darpan Chaya</span>&nbsp;and Jindagani were made.&nbsp;</p> <h3><span style="color:#2f5496"><strong><span style="color:black">Industry after 2005&rsquo;s</span></strong></span></h3> <p><span style="background-color:white"><span style="color:black">By 2006, with Maoists</span></span><span style="color:black"><span style="background-color:white">&nbsp;coming into mainstream politics, the Nepali film industry started to return to its previous state, and more films were being made and released. This period also marked the commencement of digital films in the industry. Various new age movies were made after. In 2012, movie &ldquo;Loot&rdquo; directed by Nischal Basnet was considered to be game changer in Nepali movie industry. The concept was different and was loved by the audience. It was the beginning of new age movie viewing in Nepal with the new generation of talent like Saugat Malla, Dayahang Rai, Bipin Karki being associated with movie industry. Later more new talent like Anmol KC, Priyanka Karki, Swostima Khadka, Pradip Khadka, Barsha Raut were introduced in mid- 2010&rsquo;s. With the increase market value, TV actors like Deepak Raj Giri, Jitu Nepal, Kedar Ghimire, Deepa Shree Niraula, Sitaram Kattel also joined the movie industry with their movie series &ldquo;Chakka Panja&rdquo;, which became the highest grossing Nepali movie of that time with over Rs. 20 crores gross which was dethroned by Kabaddi 4 in 2022 which gross around Rs. 23 crores. </span></span></p> <h3><span style="color:#2f5496"><strong><span style="color:black">Influence of Foreign Film Industry</span></strong></span></h3> <p><span style="color:black">The influence of other film industry has been huge in nepali market. More multiplexes want to showcase foreign film if it clashes with nepali movie. Youngsters are directly impacted by foreign movie rather than nepali. That&rsquo;s the reason why the collection of foreign film is more than that of Nepali film in Nepali film market. The gross collection of Baahubali 2 is Rs. 25 crores which is more than that of Kabaddi 4. Similarly, more Bollywood and Hollywood movies have grossed huge sum of movie in Nepali film market.</span></p> <p><span style="color:black">The advancement of technology helps the makers to create different concept films with The Legend of Sankhadhar<span style="background-color:white">&nbsp;being the first animated Nepali film. And Vigilante was the First 3D movie made in Nepal with many multi lingual movies also made like Parastree and Prem Geet 4 among many being released in Hindi language.</span></span></p> <p><span style="background-color:white"><span style="color:black">The Nepali film industry has come a long way in recent years with the growth of new age technology, lavish location, popularity in music. The increasing professionalism of Nepali filmmakers and actors have all contributed to the success of Nepali films. As the industry continues to grow and mature, it is likely that Nepali films will become even more popular and widely recognized in the future.</span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
