Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Dunki' was released in cinemas on December 21 and it witnessed a good opening weekend at the box office. Now, filmmaker Hansal Mehta has reviewed the film on social media and said that he really enjoyed it. Taking to his X account on Monday, the acclaimed filmmaker shared his views on the Rajkumar Hirani directorial and showered praise on Shah Rukh Khan's performance. He said that the film is 'not perfect' but the experience was something he would not 'want to overanalyze or overthink."

In his new post, Hansal Mehta said, "I really enjoyed #Dunki. Not perfect but so what. It’s perfectly fine. It gave me what I miss at the movies. It was nostalgic, heartfelt, simple and an ode to what our films once used to be. Not a film I want to overanalyse or overthink. Give me a @RajkumarHirani film any day. Nice to end the year with @iamsrk tugging at your heart strings, looking into her eyes with love and playing a softie. Lovely ensemble and an enduring charm pervades the film which is not a drama, not a comedy, not a tragedy and not a thriller. It is a Rajkumar Hirani film all the way. Go watch it and decide for yourself."

Hansal Mehta shared that Dunki is powered by an enduring charm and it was nice to end the year with a tender performance from Shah Rukh Khan.

'Dunki' is a comedy-drama based on an illegal immigration technique 'donkey flight'. Apart from Shah Rukh and Taapsee, the film also stars Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover.
