Dunki review

Spoilers for themes and tone below. Don't read if you want to go in cold. In short: recommended.

I can see now why none of the trailers for Dunki really did it for me. The second drop song Lutt Putt did though, and that was enough for me to think the trailers might be misrepresenting the film.

I was right. Or rather, it's not that they misrepresent the film, but they misdirect about what the actual journey is so that you're not spoiled.

The thing the trailers are working so hard to hide is that this is a tragedy. Yes, it has a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, especially in the first half. It also has some pointed satire as you'd expect from this director, and adventure, and a bit of action, and some rousing speeches. And romance of course, with SRK at his soulful best. It has all of that, and it's deftly done and very entertaining.

But we all should have known from the title that there was only one way a story like this could really end.

Dunki is about the bitterness of poverty, and how it strips people to their core character and forces them into making choices that change their lives forever. Even when that change leads to the best possible outcome - which it usually doesn't - it's at the price of bone deep regret that cannot be undone. It's life ruining.

Of Shah Ruhk Khan's three movies this year, I was bored by Pathaan, but could see why people were keen on it. In contrast, I was sold on Jawan from the first preview and adored it - a highlight of the year for me. But I didn't really get what all the fuss was about Dunki, and why people were so hyped about it.

I get it now. This director knows their stuff.

I'm not sure how big a hit Dunki will be, because I don't think it will be what people expect. It's not a feel-good Christmas movie. I got the vibe from people leaving the cinema that they enjoyed it, but weren't wowed.

I enjoyed it a lot - in a completely different way to Jawan, even though it has some thematic similarities. I need to mull Dunki over some more before I come to a final conclusion about it. Do I want to re-watch it? I think so, but maybe not for a while. It made me sad.

Dunki is a really entertaining movie and I recommend it, just be ready for a tragedy, not a romcom.

You'll laugh. You'll fall in love. You'll have your heart stomped on. It's a whole ride.

I had a couple of friends (my only two friends really lol which two is far far above my historical average for friends, one is above the historical average if we're being Real) over last night to see the movie I made with my cats/co-directors and I made little tickets/keepsakes for both of them lol

Since the first short I randomly slapped together back in January which eventually ended up being incorporated into what this ended up being I liked the idea of keeping this as something I primarily just directly share with people in my own living room, like the only reason I initially put this shit online anywhere is to have an easy way to share it on here with you all in case it's of interest to anyone lol but idk like there's no way to make even five dollars off of this since I don't have the rights to any of the music playing in the background and huge chunks of certain songs/albums are in the shit lmao like almost half an hour of D'Angelo - Voodoo lmfao but like. it cost me literally nothing to make this, I shot the entire thing on my phone and cut it together on my laptop using open source software so there isn't even any cost to recoup so why not include the music I was already listening to ig and past that just share it with directly with anyone that's willing to sit through it

Back in May I was talking to one of my neighbors who is also one of the neighborhood plugs who also raps a little bit just for the fuck of it "I dont make money off music, I'm a trapper for real" (slightly paraphrased it was almost a year ago at this point), but I actually fuck with his music and listened to it of my own volition after he initially directly played a track for me and our other neighbor and the other day I was over to reup and was like 1) I made a movie off your product so truly thank you cause this doesnt happen otherwise and 2) if you check it out and anything jumps out at you we can work on a music video along those lines if you're down which who knows if we'll do that but personally I'd love to. Then he asked me why I haven't been fasting lmao, remembering that I also didn't fast last year. And that led to talking about god and history and america and the whites. He was telling me a bit about another Pakistani guy that buys from him, showed me a picture of the dude, standing with (presumably although I can't say for sure) his father and grandfather.

The picture he showed me, everything he said has been stuck in my head since. The three smiling desi faces, if I had to guess either fellow Kashmiris if not that maybe Pathaan, but especially the old man's face recalling of course my nana's. I wish I could've made a movie in Lahore with him. I do want to make one with my mom, I was thinking of incorporating clips of a walk around the creek at my parent's neighborhood with her into this video but I ended up going a different direction but I do think it could be worth it's own standalone piece. But I do want to do more of these and the process by which it came together is definitely something accessible to everyone like everyone can do this I feel, if anyone wants. But I personally do want to make one with my mom if she's down.

A few days before that aforementioned day in late May I read Prince's unfinished autobiography and among a million things in there that I have not been able to stop seeing or thinking of was what? The way he opened the first chapter with the image of his mother's eyes - the first thing 👁 saw.

[cameforb99stayingforkdramas]

I watched Dunki on the second day (sorry, i had to break the tradition of watching the first day first show cause depression won over), and it was underwhelming, to say the least.

So yes, there was a plot, but the execution sucked? I was not at all entertained nor moved by any of the reasons why these 3 wanted to go to London. None of the reasons felt pressing enough for them to undertake this extremely dangerous journey. I was moved only by Vicky Kaushal's backstory. But that was it. Neither has the movie utilised the actor Boman Irani, which was sad. None of the jokes landed for me. They were too cringe 😭 I also did not like Taapsee or SRK's performance (his acting sucked sorry he was overacting😭) but of course, SRK is a treat to watch on screen.

But I did like SRK's character, Hardy, tho. He reminded me of our kdrama oppas, and then it struck me that SRK has always given us oppa vibes!

I feel like one of the main reason Bollywood movies suck nowadays is because of the way they are executed. They just know how to fuck up a good plot with their extremely bad execution. But if you look at Jawan, directed by a South Indian, everything about it was top-notch. Even tho, one would say it really doesn't have a plot (I don't necessarily agree with this but ok), everything about it was executed reallly well - from cinematography, to backstory to songs, etc.

That being said, I'm extremely happy that SRK had a great year in terms of conquering the box office. I'm also very glad that I could watch all 3 of his movies at the cinemas this year (watched Pathaan and Jawan twice at the cinemas 😎). I also absolutely never care about plots if there's SRK, so even if continues to make shitty films, I'll always go watch it.

I'll miss him in 2024 😭

[skiddo-xy]

I've chosen my topic for my summative project for world history which is "evaluation of the usage of the Yiddish language during the 19th century" and to for ambiance reasons I've started branching out my Yiddish music taste to songs other than the Barry Sisters' rendition of Tumbalalaika.

For this reason, I've been listening to Chava Alberstein's rendition of Dona Dona/דאַנאַ דאַנאַ and in the chorus there is the lyrics "lakht un lakht un lakht/לאַכט און לאַכט און לאַכט" and in between a few of the consonants she sings a /ə/ (better to look it up yourself how it's pronounced but it's sort of like "uhhh") so the lyric sounds more like "lakht unəlakht unəlakht."

I found that super interesting because a lot of Punjabi and Urdu/Hindi songs do the same thing!

An example of this in the song "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" from the movie soundtrack "Pathaan," the chorus is as follows:

Jhoome jo pathaan meri jaan/झूमे जो पठान मेरी जान Mehfil hi loot jaaye/महफ़िल हाय लुट जाए Dede jo zubaan meri jaan/देदे जो ज़ुबान मेरी जान Uspe mar mit jaaye/उसपे मर मिट जाए

It is pronounced more like: "Jhoome jo pathaanəmeri jaanə/mehəfil hii lootəjaaye/dede jo zubaanəmeri jaanə/uspe mar mitəjaaye"

Also interesting since not all consonants in each language get spacing between them, and in both examples above, they're not the same ones! In Dona Dona, the "kh/כ" sound from "lakht/לאַכט" doesn't have a space after it, though the "h/ह(/ح)" from "mehfil/महफ़िल(/محفل)" does!

Just interesting stuff I wanted to share :)

Songs I talked about in this post:

[knarangg]

Good but could have been better

Tiger 3 (2023) : I had higher expectations from this but still I would keep it in my good books. Many positives were there, but negatives were there too. Salman Khan did well but the MVP of this movie was Katrina Kaif for me. Her action & her story were good👌👌

I liked the way they connected things to the past and gave a connected feeling although not sure what Tiger 3's events set up for the future. Zoya's past, Aatish's past with both Tiger & Zoya and Vienna Peace Summit connections were good.

Although the movie increases stakes by killing character but it had negligible effect. And the whole saving Pakistan plan & National anthem at the end might have been too extreme. But one good thing was that the movie did not have any unnecessary songs in between.

The direction in the bike chase scene at the start was a little creative, wanted something more from that Towel fight scene, VFX could have been improved & ofc, cameo of Pathaan , the banter of these two is always enjoyable.

And lastly, the post-credit scene, I was expecting to see JrNTR in it & it was a surprise to see Hrithik Roshan going rough & rogue and now I am excited to see what happens in War 2 . To conclude, Tiger 3 is a movie that looks good on paper but could have had better execution.

Introduction to Bollywood and its Music

Bollywood, the vibrant and thriving Indian film industry, has captured the hearts of millions worldwide with its captivating storytelling, colorful visuals, and, of course, its soul-stirring music. The music of Bollywood plays an integral role in shaping the emotions and narratives of the films, creating a unique identity that sets it apart from other cinematic experiences.

Bollywood films are characterized by colorful costumes, vibrant music, and elaborate dance sequences. Bollywood movies are often musicals, and feature songs that are integrated into the story. These songs are known as “filmi” songs, and are often very popular in their own right.

Bollywood music is characterized by catchy melodies, energetic rhythms, and emotional lyrics. Filmi songs often make use of traditional Indian instruments such as the sitar, tabla, and sarangi, as well as Western instruments.

About Pasoori, Rid, that's t-series, they can make the worst remake of any iconic song with no regret.🤡 Even though I love the og songs of T-series, they don't do justice with the remakes, and why a remake when nobody even asked for it lol)

Coke Studio India and Pakistan have been releasing bops in many languages for decades, and most of them have ended up being translated into a Bollywood Hindi remake song. And it's not like they are making these songs known by remaking them when they literally ARE popular.

I am a Rajasthani, and I cringed real hard when I first heard the Hindi remake of Chaudhary song (an old Coke studio song in Marwari, which was also featured in Balika Vadhu if yk). Even though I speak Hindi, that song was literally a part of my Childhood! and hearing that song being translated into Hindi was painful, the og vibes didn't match at all!

I understand that Bollywood produces many movies in a single year that contain way too many songs, so they can't help but make few remakes, but still, why? Even the the general public doesn't like these remakes, they still make them! I literally have a love-hate relationship with T-Series in this whole music production matter. :')

Sorry for my long ramble, I never really shared my thoughts on this topic with anyone before, and I genuinely apologize if I bored you and you had to read all of this. :')

ahhh, don't apologise for the ramble, i understand what you're saying. you're right, bollywood does produce a shit ton of movies a year, so they're bound to hit a wall once in a while when it comes to new music. choosing old songs and remaking them seems like an easy option and i don't blame them. but yeah, i think sometimes it doesn't quite work. i don't necessarily think the pasoori remake is bad, i just think it wasn't needed bc the original is already so amazing.. and i think if it's hard to come up with music, it's also sometimes okay to not include any at all — i know a lot of movies that had 0-2 songs in them, but they were still such a success (looking at you, pathaan), but yeah. i understand that music is an integral part of bollywood, i just hope that even if they continue making remakes, they do so carefully or let the same artists sing those. some just weren't my thing :(

Jawan: non-spoiler review

A more thoughtful review, now I've had a bit of time to think about it.

Shah Rukh Khan is the heart of the movie, so if you don't like his work, you probably won't like the movie.

Fortunately his performance is strong, and he easily carries it. The plot requires him to flex his range, which he does with confidence and charisma. He's rarely been in better form.

It might be billed as an Atlee film, but it's pretty obvious that this was SRK's dream project, and he put together his dream team to make it. I don't say that to dismiss what Atlee brings to the table, just that this project was clearly being driven by SRK's desire to tick off some of the things remaining on his bucket list. That pays off in a lot of ways, because SRK can afford the best, and that really shows on the screen.

SRK worked hard in Jawan to consolidate that he's an action star now, and he succeeded - I don't think anyone would argue it anymore. However, he didn't throw out all the old hooks. His scenes with Deepika Padukone are classic SRK, and so are the dance numbers. Zinda Banda in particular was a highlight. The song is an earworm, and the dance itself is both a spectacle given the number of dancers, and yet simple enough that even I could do it, with a bit of practice. The perfect crowdpleaser.

I don't want to spoil the biggest twist for you if you haven't seen the film yet, so I can't talk about my favourite aspect of SRK's performance in detail. I'll just say that for the last few years, he's been at his best when playing his real age, and that's true in Jawan as well.

There are good things other than SRK. Atlee's direction has all the kineticism of southern Indian cinema, and it's a spectacle that's a joy to watch on an aesthetic level. The soundtrack is fantastic. The special effects are world class.

I also like that this is mass entertainment that's not pretending to be anything else, but that it still touches on themes that are timely in India at the moment. I watched Raees just a few weeks ago, and there are obvious parallels. It's obvious that not everything along those lines comes from Atlee, even if the southern didacticism is on full display.

I do have one criticism. The plot was ambitious, and I give it points for that. I much prefer an ambitious plot that doesn't always work to a plot-by-numbers like Pathaan. However, Jawan's plotting sprawls all over the screen. That's sometimes a feature rather than a bug. It helped the film avoid some of the more obvious cliches. For example, I liked that the bad-guy's Evil Habit ended up not playing out in the way you'd expect. Anything that subverts a cliche is good with me. On the other hand, the plot was weaker than it needed to be. For instance, in a movie with so many women characters, I wanted more of them in the final act. There was still enough momentum to carry me to the end, but the ending was weaker than the rest of the film. Just a bit more cleverness in that final fight, tying it more effectively to the larger plot strands, would have made a big difference.

It was still a really great time, and I'm looking forward to seeing it again. I hope they do make a sequel. I would happily watch more of SRK in this 'verse.
