Dl Dhadakne Do (2015)

This is Zoya Akhtar's least-talked about film though it was actually very good cinema. I loved the idea of the dog Pluto Mehra being the narrator. It was like the twisted world of humans was being viewed from the outside, and this was an intelligent plot device.

The conflicts in the movie are genuine. It's like an evocative examination of how wealth and dysfunctionality can be intertwined together in complex and warped ways. It pulls all the viewer's strings in the right ways. Also, it's about how all that glitters is not gold.

I loved the use of humour in the film. It felt authentic, somehow. The jokes were actually very witty, and made me think twice. Intelligent humour which was not contrived - what a welcome change! That's the strength of the film -- it felt so real and seeped in memorable moments, strung together by an engaging screenplay.

Ranveer, Anushka, Priyanka, Shefali Shah and Anil Kapoor are all very good, and performed with panache and heart. The love story between Ranveer and Anushka was full of crisp, golden moments. It melted into the screenplay with authentic ease.

I loved the movie because for me it represents love, hate, regret, animosity, betrayal and the emotions were heartfelt. It was definitely a movie worth watching, and it has repeat value.

Thoughts/opinions?

One of my favorite movies which has got amazing repeat value. Each scene is an epic in itself and can be watched by itself. All of Zoya movies are like that actually. That’s why it’s hard to pick only one favorite from her filmography!

Not my favorite but I really liked the movie. I think I like all Zoya movies. Didn't care for Pluto though. The only time Pluto narration worked for me was when he talked about how humans are the only living beings who have the ability to communicate through words but it seems they are the worst at communicating.

The movie didn't take it far enough for me with many of the stories. I was like ugh dig deeper. But it handled many things so well. All those scenes with Sooraj pancholi's mom (can't remember her name) were great and my favorite. I hated her character and Rahul Bose's character. They remind me of terrible people I have known in life.

I watched this movie in the cinema but I dont remember the story or maybe there wasnt a story, I remembered they were on cruise, that's all 🤔

it was a good film

Acting was good , premise not so much. Kapoor & Sons did the job of showing a dysfunctional rich family much better .

Totally agree ! I also actually regret going to the cinemas for this

It was good one time watch

Actually I felt Ranveer-Anushka's story was the weakest link in the film. Rest, I agree with you completely.

The family dynamic of the core-four (Anil-Shefali-Priyanka-Ranveer) was the best part....

One of the only 3 movies where I left the theatre in interval😆, such a snoozefest it was, I remember barely 13-14 ppl were there in the hall and it was the opening weekend lol.
