There's no doubt that 3 Idiots was Hirani's peak of his career. The movie got pretty much everything right. But Dunki is just a confirmation of Hirani's declining stature as a director. Ferrari ki Sawari, PK, Sanju, and now this. Just a consistent drop in Hirani's creativity and creative skills.

It's crazy that you can have seasoned actors like SRK & Boman Irani at one place and still fail to get their best out. Khan feels like he's doing mimicry the whole time, writing is sloppy, screenplay is slow and too long. Movie gains some momentum in second half but ends with a rush? No character development, just a highly amateur take on Swades.

This almost makes you wonder if 3 Idiots was pure luck? Or maybe our expectations from him are too high and he simply can't seem to deliver anymore.

I was a huge fan of the show since I followed Glenn's journey when it came out in 2019. It's possibly one of the most inspirational shows I've ever seen on TV as an entrepreneur myself and to relate with many things that happen behind the scenes shown on TV.

The second season was even better. We followed the journey of three entrepreneurs and how they build million-dollar businesses out of a hundred bucks.

I mean, I see where the criticism stems from. People react differently when there's a camera crew around and it definitely opened up many doors for these 3 the way it would not for others.

But even accounting for that, it was great to see on TV that an opportunity lies everywhere if you're out to run for it. Especially enjoyed both Elaine's and Grant's journeys and the people they met.

I sat to watch down the movie but couldn't finish as it just seemed seemingly boring, distorted and a work of frustration rather than art.

It stretches for over an hour and half but the premise of the movie is set in first 30 minutes. A Brahmin priest is shown as a cruel monster who uses antics to keep so-called oppressed Shudras in check.

A Thakur (Rajput) is then shown followed by a Vaishya as well.

Needless to say, there's a forceful, historically-incorrect attempt to make all the three look like predators and the oppressed slaves as some kind of "yes sir" folks.

The movie has no plot, it has no connected direction either. It's just a bunch of scenes put together. Nothing more than that.

It finally ends with a clip where the narrator compares Bhimrao to the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and tries to imply that he vanished the lines of varnas by writing ideal rules. Well, if he really did that, why do you still reserve 80% seats?

It's a work of fiction. I would only recommend if you can keep your brain in the refrigerator and common sense in the garbage bin, and have nothing better to do in your life.
