Watched two movies yesterday – The worst and The best.

The worst - Archies.

It's not a bad movie, to be honest. There are moments where Zoya's magic shines as a director. The supporting cast is great, and Vedang is a talent to watch out for. However, I've never seen a movie being so let down by the lead cast alone. The movie picks up every time the three leads are not on screen; that's how bad they are. They don't know how to deliver dialogues. They looked like they didn't know how to speak before this movie – it's as if they are speaking for the first time ever. How did Zoya let this happen? The only explanation I can think of is that the leads were imposed on her by the industry, and she was so pissed off that she said, Yeah, give them to me, and I'll show the world how bad they are.

The best - Dhak Dhak

This film has some of the best performances by Ratna, Dia Mirza, and the other two leads. It's a movie about self-discovery through travel, beautifully capturing the charm of North India. A heartwarming feminist tale about women's struggles portrayed in a beautiful and heartwarming way. The music is one of the best of the year. It truly deserves the hype that Archies is getting.

Never heard about it until I read this post, sounds interesting!

Archies movie wasn't that bad actually...It is a one time watch.....but I absolutely loved Dhak Dhak....

Thanks for making this thread. Dhak Dhak was the best movie this year after Kathal. or vice versa. I liked Dia Mirza's acting the most.

Oh, I really would like to see the women-biker-movie (it must have gorgeous cinematography, too, right?).

Where did you watch it?

Dhak Dhak is amazing!

Saw it in the theatre and loved it!

Oh, I loved Dia Mirza the most. I thought I could be the only one who loved her more than Ratna. The sweetness, the gentleness of dreams-forgotten, oppressed woman fighting with her everyday life, she made it perfect. The scene where she meets the girl and gives her a keychain of a motorbike, and then she remembers her daughter—she captures it all so beautifully with her expressions alone.

Oh probably. I'd have used Pirate Bay or Torrent, but I won't recommend it to you.
