Re: Dil Dhadkne Do mini review
I really enjoyed it
Anil Kapoor hands down stole the show..amazing versatile acting and the movie is actually about him and he and ranveer get the most screen time..shefali shah was very natural. Ranveer was good, he needs to do more restrained roles like this as he often is over the top in his other movies, I didn’t like priyanka and anushkas modern girl roles but their acting was top notch (the portrayal of the modern girl in this movie is a central theme of the movie, dont know if i agree with their portrayal of the female protoganists as promiscuous, engaging in pre-maritsl sex, wearing very revealing clothes, rebellious women who focus more on careers, will ditch family and husbands for no reasons at all just bc they don’t feel it anymore and seek out other man while still being married just bc they experience a spark with the other guy who is not their husband–this is openly advocated by movie as being completely normal, didn’t like this message sending wrong message to girls), Farhan Akhtar role was really an extended cameo. Feel bad for Rahul Bose’s character as he is constantly disrespected throughout the movie although hes never unreasonable until he’s pushed to the edge in one scene in which he was provoked although the movie does try to make him out into a misogynist which he actually isnt. Songs were situational and most were above average to unmemorable. The movies story line is simple and extended over a period of 3 hours so the story depends more on the characters to move the story forward so if you don’t connect with the character for some this movie will drag but I enjoyed it. The comedic portions are very subtle, dry humor. Not everyone will like it. Not for the people who enjoy Rohit Sh*tty films.
8.9/10
Couldn’t agree more. The Akhtar family really are good at what they do. I enjoyed the movie even though i am a pirate and saw a crappy version online . Priyanka Chopra is so pretty, sigh. lol Anil Kapoor’s acting was definitely something to admire, especially the part where he was popping pills, i enjoyed that one. I can’t comment on the songs, i forwarded through all of them (not a bollywood music fan) but over all good movie.
I’d give it a 7.5-8/10
