Dil Dhadakne Do (2015)

Best movie of this year hands down!

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

A couple celebrates their 30 th marriage anniversary with family and friends on a Mediterranean cruise. An indifferent couple, their unhappily married daughter and an immature son. This is the story of families all around the world. The trials and tribulations they go through and come together.The movie is excellently cast. All give a superb performance especially Shefali Shah. The screenplay is to the point and precise. The pacing of the story is great. We just have to accept the over the top moments in all Bollywood movies because that's what the people want. This movie could be edited better but still a worthy effort.

This film was awful! The story was complete nonsense. Like most Bollywood films, the film had no logic, but this one has absolutely nothing in it! Rich people making up problems where there exist none and problems so fake and unrealistic, they can only happen in Bollywood. The acting over the top, dialogues and jokes were pathetic and that dog, why?! You know awards are bought in the industry when Anil Kapoor wins a Filmfare for his performance in this film. That's 3 hours of my life I'm never getting back.

Film was totally amazing characters,story,songs and especially Anil Kapoor,Farhan Akhter and Priyanka Chopra acting,there should also be an sequel continuing the story or after the events.The film was reality based and no special effects like in other films are seen,all the characters should be praised in the film and directors,producers and writers.

What got me into the theatre for this movie was the fully-loaded star-cast and the look of the movie. The trailer reminded me of Zoya's previous - Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which in spite of its widespread appeal was sort of a rip-off of Dil Chahta Hai.Half an hour into the movie you realize this movie is totally pretentious. Everybody is shown as ultra-rich, larger than life with their first world problems. The backgrounds and locations (ooh...Turkey...because I already did Spain in my last movie) have to be fancy as if the Director is telling you - "Hey! I am rich, surrounded by people from the movie industry and industrialists and I'll thus make my movies for them. There are no average earners or poor people in this country." You cannot possibly connect with any character in the movie. Let me rip into the characters one by one now that I have finished ranting about the movie - 1. Anil Kapoor - The ABSOLUTE WORST thing in this movie. All those articles praising his performance were paid pieces. He has "fake" written all over him in this movie. 2. Shefali Chaayaa - Boring throughout the movie, playing the ignored wife. Reminds me of her role in that two decade old drama called Hasretein on Zee TV. 3. Priyanka Chopra - She looks different and I do not mean that in a good way. Her acting is flimsy too. She should stick to singing and do her US TV shows/appearances. 4. Anushka Sharma - Yes. She had to be a hot bikini wearing and sleeping around Muslim dancer estranged from her family. Way to go Zoya in creating a fictional character. 5. Rahul Bose - Jeez. An impossible character whom can you see only in movies like this. They made a cartoon out of him. 6. Farhan Akhtar - Oh...he has to be creative and free-willing type in keeping with his Rock On! image and being the Director's brother. He is at least better than the ones above. 7. Ranveer Singh - By far the best thing in this otherwise pathetic movie. His acting and comic timing are perfect. Again, his characterization is flawed but his performance makes up for it. 8. Some British-Indian cute-face - She's there to add to the "fair" quotient. 9. The gnawing voice of the dog - It wasn't a couple of months later that I realized that it was Aamir's voice. Mr. Perfectionist can make mistakes too - Dhoom 3 and this movie, for example.
