‘Disaster’ trends on Twitter as fans find Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki trailer boring, his accent ‘forced’

Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki stars Shah Rukh Khan along with Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani. It is set to release on December 22.

The trailer of Shah Rukh Khan's Dunki was released on Tuesday, but it seems that not many on the internet are pleased with it. Dunki marks the maiden collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. After the trailer dropped, many users took to social media to react to the three-minute-long Drop 4, with many calling the Punjabi accent 'forced' and the overall impact 'boring.'

Reacting to the trailer on X(Formerly Twitter), one user said: "Boring. Plot has nothing new to offer, many Punjabi films have already covered such a topic. Accent is so annoying. I don't understand the need to mix Punjabi & Hindi. It doesn't even sound comical. Just stick to Hindi." Another wrote, "The less I say about the trailer, the better. The Punjabi accent feels forced, the dialogues lack impact, and I struggle to connect emotionally with the story. Not to mention, the de-aging of SRK, whether in 'Jawan' or this, comes off as comically unbelievable. This might be the weakest film from Hirani that I can recall. Feel free to call for my head. Cheers."

Many also called out the de-aging of Shah Rukh Khan in the film. One user said, "Why always blame Balayya, Chiranjeevi for playing young characters, Actually #SRK is the Real Culprit. Look at the amount of VFX on his face." "Quite the underwhelming trailer, I must say. A bit all over the place from an editing perspective. Can’t be an excuse in terms of a track record of Hirani trailers. SRK’s delivery seems very uncomfortable. The de-aging even more distracting!" wrote another.

Several users also expressed how the trailer revealed a lot of things already. One said, "The voice baritone was iffy. Trailer Spoiled so much of the movie and took surprises away - Old SRK, the funeral of a character. The action scenes make me feel this movie is gonna get distracted from the core story and go downhill - very reminiscent of Zero." A comment also read, "Well, it feels basic & not really pushing me to want to watch it in a hall. But I felt the same for 'P.K.' and it was a helluva experience." 🤷‍♂️🎭
