Watched Dil Dhadakne Do last night....Zoya Akhtar does what she is best at doing..exploring the complex web of human relationships, interdependence,expectations from self and others, although this time the backdrop is a high flying cruise jetting uber rich mehra family of south Delhi and the impact the societal pressures have on them and their relationship with each other and their lived ones..the key message is love is not enough for relationships...people need space, respect and their own individuality and more so kids...very relevant for parents of all ages...had this been so easy for parents to do(self included)Ms Akhtar would not have embarked on this mission and created this movie to harp in this subject.....Relationships need more than love and care..good to remember but tough to implement....
Anil kapoor....you are brilliant man..as the Good old Punjabi ruthless MCP business tycoon who doesn't mind using his "oye puttar" lines for getting work done... I think this is Kapoors best performance at least in the last decade if his Bollywood / Hollywood dabbling...we have all respected his work...but this movie clearly has Anil kapoor phase 2 coming of age....seems he finally moved on to the ageing actor bracket gracefully...well done Anil kapoor.....his best work in a long long time ...movie makers have missed using your talent for the right roles
Ranveer Singh is in a fresh new look...does a great job of playing the good natured,ever helping, spoilt and confused brat with a good heart.He manages to hold his own in this impressive star cast bringing a certain freshness to the often repeated role of the rich spoilt and confused brat.Singh manages to get a certain likability about him which is quite endearing
Priyanka in a restrained role. As a woman torn between a dominating father, a lost and insecure mother, a nagging mom in law(zareena wahaab), a cold husband (Rahul Bose) and a confused brother, Priyanka does full justice and more to her part..very restrained and controlled performance by her. I have not seen Mary Kom yet but would rate this as Priyankas top performance along with the likes of her roles in Fashion, Barfi & her career defining role in "Andaaz"
Shefali shah as the socialite trophy wife who is filled with insecurity and complexes does a pretty decent job.Shefali is a powerhouse of talent & needs roles like these & many more to do full justice to her immense skills as a natural performer
Farhan Akhtar and Anushka Sharma, as live interests of the Mehra siblings, Priyanka & Ranveer, have been wasted in the movie and one wonders what was the relevance of their characters..
The supporting actor characterization has been done to the T...overall a good entertaining movie which the modern families of today should go and see...
See it for Anil kapoor in his Mr Mehra Avataar....... you will fall in love with him once again..."Prem Kumar Patialaa waala of "WOH 7 DIN" to Mr Mehra of "DDD", Kapoor rocks
