The immigrant dream might be Western civilization’s greatest export. Since the days of colonialism and long since, people all over the world dream of moving to the U.K., Europe, or U.S. to start a new life and change their family’s legacy.
Reality shines through day-by-day; that supposedly civilized countries are plagued by their own issues, that predominantly white spaces aren’t always safe for people of color, that moving to a new city or country anywhere in the world means struggling to build that life and questioning the whole endeavor.
All of this comes to light in Rajkumari Hirani’s “Dunki,” a story ostensibly about the treacherous trek across nations, but more intriguingly about the dream dangled at the end of those treks — and whether it’s a dream at all, but a lie.

After 30 years in the industry, 2023 might be the most important year of Shah Rukh Khan’s career.
For one thing, the beloved Indian actor — who won over audiences as a romantic lead in films from “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge,” to “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,” to “Kal Ho Naa Ho” and so many more — finally has the action hero filmography he’s always craved. For another, he’s back on the big screen after five whole years with not one, not two, but three films in 2023, two of which are out now and can comfortably be declared hits. And those two movies — January’s “Pathaan” and this weekend’s “Jawan” (and probably December’s “Dunki”) — underscore how critical this man is, not only to Indian cinema, but to India itself.

Karan Johar is one of those directors whose name is an adjective. Throughout his 25-year career as a filmmaker, perhaps one of the harshest critiques he’s read of his work is “That’s very Karan Johar.”
“I feel like I read, ‘Oh, this is so dramatic, but that’s very Karan Johar. … ‘Oh, this is so melodramatic. That’s so very Karan Johar.’ … ‘This is a world that you can’t believe, but that’s very Karan Johar,'” Johar told IndieWire during a recent Zoom interview on the heels of his latest directorial release, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.” “I’ve read, of course, a lot of great things as well, and I’m very grateful for that, but I’ve also had some really nasty things about my filmmaking. You get slotted into a genre, right?”
