Some films are made from the heart, that's #DilDhadakneDo. Not your typical critic friendly film. But so so endearing. Review soon @filmfare
What critics say will have very little bearing on Dil Dhadakne Do. Your folks will love it anyway. Family-friendly critic-proof vacation.
Absolutely loved Dil Dhadakne Do! Not a dull moment in the entire movie! Got to love @RanveerOfficial AND his BRILLIANT expressions!
#DilDhadakaneDo is Zoya &@ritesh_sid's victory and a shoutout to @kagtireema for brilliant writing gives the joy of a rollercoaster ride

@taprichai ranveer singh is simply brilliant. worth watching only for him.
@DDDTheFilm going with family
If you thought, it's all hunky dory in the world of the rich and the glamourous, then you are wrong.
It's not just about their pouts and Pradas, but about their pain as well.
And, it's this reality that director-writer Zoya Akhtar exposes in Dil Dhadkne Do'.
"Money can't buy you everything," echoes her free-spirited, dancing queen Farah, and sets the pulse of the movie.
Zoya gathers the dysfunctional Mehras and their equally affluent friends onboard a luxury cruise-liner, and unhurriedly uncovers their imperfect lives.
While the Mehras aren't very forthcoming initially about disclosing their deep, dark secrets, and ironing out their indifferences, it's their pet dog Pluto who lets us in on their troubles.
In fact, he adorably throws valuable insight into their complexities. While his expressions are naturally delightful, he's got Aamir Khan and Javed Akhtar to thank for pitching him perfectly and lending him great philosophy.
As the extravagant celebration - "8,000 euros per family" - unfolds over 180-minutes we discover how everyone's pretending to be cheerful until their repressed emotions eventually runs amok.
Much like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', Zoya uses a spectacular canvas to tell her story, and employs Carlos Catalan to frame them charmingly, and friend-and-filmmaker Reema Kagti to co-author the story. There's Istanbul in all its glory, but it's never allowed to overshadow the Mehras or their misadventures.
What pitches Dil Dhadakne Do' a rank higher than her earlier work is the writing. Nothing is spoon-fed, and every conflict is introduced, left to simmer, before its history or relevance is explained, thus crediting the audience with grey matter.
And, like all her movies, she's got her family to back her, with brother Farhan acting and penning the dialogues, alongside her father and lyrist Javed Akhtar. Farhan peppers the lines with popular movie titles, where Main Hoon Na' and Dil Chahta Hai' slip out of their Bollywood zone into real conversations.
Together they create an interesting world, one that's fun, complicated and interesting to explore.
But, much of the madness works because of Ranveer Singh and Anil Kapoor's exemplary team work. It's thrilling to watch Anil capture the complexities and insecurities without ever reducing Mehra into a caricature. He's outstanding, especially when he innocently discovers a secret affair.
Ranveer's equally talented, and tackles Kabir with finesse.
Even the women are top-notch, with Shefali Shah soaring above the rest. She surrenders to Neelam's quirks and eccentricities unquestioningly. One moment she orders her husband to skip the acting, while at another she lets him crush her with his sarcasm.
Priyanka Chopra's also got her moments of glory, and she doesn't falter. Anuskha Sharma's harmless, but her bee-stung lips continue to distract.
With so many people slipping in and out, it's interesting how the casting for the supporting roles is done with sincerity. Of the bunch, Farhan holds his own, and grabs our attention as the "famous journalist" Sunny, while Rahul Bose is equally impressive.
Apart from the spectacular performances and stunning locations Dil Dhadakne Do' has its moments of fun, laughter, drama, tears and romance. So go on, plunge in.
@RanveerOfficial what an amazing performance in #DilDhadakaneDo
.
She actually wasn't very kind to Ranveer before if criticizing is concerned.Hawa badal gaya.Good to see.
DDD begins in a very YJHD style where Ayesha Mehra (Priyanka) is packing the invitation basket for the wedding anniversary of her parents, which is going to be held on a cruise trip.
Zoya seems to be too inspired from Ayaan, such that she kept the name Kabir handy for Ranveer and likewise she reads out a card that has only Kabir Mehra's name in RSVP (Major YJHD De Ja Vu moment at the very beginning of the film).
In somewhat Karan Johar kind of style, the film tries to fit in a very Indian script on the high society celluloid, with wine and champagne, English delicacies, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin with characters that speak Prada!
DDD has a failing businessman, a spoiled yet soft hearted son, a neglected daughter who's in an unhappy wedlock, a housewife who's trying to come to terms with her husband's indifferent behavior and a dysfunctional family.
Amidst a grand star cast consisting of Priyanka, Farhan, Anil Kapoor, Anushka, Ranveer and Shefali Shah, including Pluto Mehra (voice rendered by Aamir Khan), Ranveer Singh is the only saving grace in Dil Dhadakne Do! Even Aamir Khan's pseudo presence and irregular sermons as a dog fail to save the cruise from sinking.
Anushka Sharma's dance number is a complete waste! The black mole and her famous lips add to the misery of the movie while Zoya revives the Band Baja Baraat kissing scenes yet again.
Priyanka Chopra does manage hard to do justice to a pivotal role. The sibling relationship is the only relatable point in the movie, thanks to the ice-cream sharing scene where Ranveer tells Priyanka how the same ice-cream seems tastier when he eats it from her bowl than his own. The looks they exchange through their eyes while their parents fool the public with their lovey dovey lines are amazing.
For the first time in many years, you'll love Ranveer as a normal boy where he puts just the right amount of energy in contrast to his hyper-active real life image, with a very slow moving script. I wish Farhan Akhtar had a longer role!
The first half doesn't seem to end at all and the handful of good moments in the movie get marred by the longevity of a weak script. The last 20 minutes are a laughter riot and sum up the objective of the movie, but then it gets too late for Indian audiences to keep up with the pace.
Jumping off a cruise to get the girl is to DDD what gate crashing the airport check-in counter is to all Bollywood movies.
Dil Dhadakne Do does have its enjoyable moments in scenes like the one at the hospital, where Kabir Mehra (Ranveer) says asli baat toh koi karta nahi hai is family mein! Another one with Ayesha Mehra's (Priyanka's) husband and mother-in-law is one amazing scene where the parents don't surrender to an overpowering son-in-law.
The film has more life lessons in its dialogues coming from the strict father, played convincingly by Anil Kapoor and Pluto Mehra. The only performances that stand out come from Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, and of course Ranveer Singh. You want to see more of him, while you wait for the movie to pick up pace, but that sadly happens only towards the end.
There's no guess work happening in DDD, because the audience will remain clueless about what's going to happen next until the last 20 minutes, which is good for suspense thrillers, not for this one.
Zoya Akhtar's cruise trip did not sail smoothly this time.
DDD is a curious case of a stellar star cast gone wasted due to a sluggish script. With crisper first half and more energetic songs like Galla Goodiyan, DDD could have been a lovely film which had the potential to stay longer with the audience.
