DilDhadakne Do, A Romantic Drama film, directed by ZoyaAkhtar, although hasn’t done that well, but is a must-watch for every-one who is looking out for a balance in drama, family, emotions, problems, and laughter. This movie gives out lessons in almost every scene through the point of view of Pluto Mehra, Mehra Family’s Dog!
Do read on to know why leaving port with this family on the cruise is a must!
1. Farhan Akhtar:
Duh! Do we need to say more? *Blushing* But the main reason why I mentioned Farhan is not because of his looks and hotness and his oh-so-dreamy voice (although they are reasons as well *winks*) but rather it’s the way he defends all journalists and social activists and Feminists.
The way he answers and literally shuts Rahul Bose’s character Manav, in the movie is worth watching- it definitely deserved a standing ovation.
Tut Tut! Now, whatever Farhan does, it does deserve a standing ovation, doesn’t it?
2. Anil Kapoor:
Anil Kapoor is probably the first actor in Bollywood who went a full-on grey for his character. He played a character his age BUT his energy did give all the younger actor’s a run for their money. No one can beat his energy levels. He portrayed the character of Kamal Mehra, the traditional patriarchal father who believed that once daughter is married, she is the “parayadhan” and her identity is associated only with her husband. He was simply fantastic.
3. The Mehras:
They are the typical family- although they do not share the close knit family bond but they do portray the regular family with regular problems. They do give out the lesson that even Rich people share the common man problems when it comes to financial crisis, family problems with daughter very miserable in her marriage. Although- Yes, Wanting a plane is not a common man problem- But you get it right-?
Also, the way Kamal Mehra’s logical stand when speaking about the compatibility level of his daughter and son-in-law is – Kaise incompatible ho? Tum dono Punjabi ho, squash khelteho!
Or him bribing his son while emotionally blackmailing his son into marrying Noorie- is Plane chahihyekinahintumhe?
4. The Team:
ZoyaAkhtar’s aesthetic + Carlos Catalan‘s camerawork + Super-good-looking people + stunning locations = Need we say any more? *Winks*
The Lyrics:
I swear- I fell for the film the first time I heard “DilDhadakne Do” It made me jump and dance to the tunes of this song. And Hello…. You did listen toGallanGoodiyan, right? That was the BEST song in this movie- I was itching to start dancing in the multiplex itself *Guilty*
6. The Medical Room:
LOL! That was one of the perfect scenes in the movie. It was finally when RanveerKapoor’s Character- Kabir and Shefali Shah’s character finally opened up- Tempers running high – BUT What a funny turn towards the end.
7. Kabir:
Oh God! He is Funny, Practical (at times Duh!) and his timing for everything is mind blowing. He adds up all the fun at many serious times.
