Though fans lined up for the first day shows across India to catch a glimpse of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, it was Vicky who stole the limelight. The Zara Hatke Zara Bachke actor impressed filmgoers with his acting skills. Many took to social media demanding an award for the actor.

Taking to X, a user wrote: "#Dunki Interval: Theek hai ji. That #RajkumarHirani flavor is seen in comedy and drama lekin abhi bhi kuch lagrahai hai missing hai thoda fika hai. #ShahRukhKhan𓀠 is as always good. #VickyKaushal is a performer who never disappoints. OK, 1st half. #TaapseePannu #DunkiReview"

  • #Dunki 1st half:-

    I have a perpetual smile on my face.
    Ample time to develop supporting characters allows for the ensemble cast to shine! #VickyKaushal is a clear stand out! The comedic beats are far superior than the promotional material

    It’s been a breeze

    2nd half time 🤞

  • Everybody who watched #SRK’s #Dunki in the general public is saying that the only good part is #VickyKaushal’s acting, yet these pages are calling it an all time blockbuster. A so-called “all time blockbuster” which is struggling to sell tickets on the very first day itself. 😂🤦‍♂️

A Twitter user unimpressed by the movie or SRK's chemistry with Taapsee wrote: “#Dunki is definitely #RajkumarHirani's weakest film till date! The humour is unfunny and the script and execution is dull! #Taapsee and #ShahRukhKhan literally have 0 chemistry which was important for a film like this! #VickyKaushal was the only saving grace.”

Vicky Kaushal, who has a special role in the movie, was called the highlight of the film by many on X. He was also trending on Twitter Thursday morning with social media users demanding an award for his performance. The actor had an eventful year with three back-to-back films, namely Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Sam Bahadur and now Dunki.

Dunki, co-written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon, is a heartwarming tale of four friends Manu, Sukhi, Buggu, and Balli who have a dream of settling down in London for a better life but undertake an arduous yet life-changing journey to reach their goal.
