Bollywood is pretty famous for making unrealistic movies which do not make much sense but surprisingly Bollywood has started making some relatable and realistic movies and “Dil Dhadakne Do” definitely is one of those! Dil Dhadakne Do is a star-studded movie that has Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Anushka Sharma, Farhan Akhtar, and Rahul Bose. The movie revolves around a perfectly imperfect family as people think they’re perfect in every way but only they know that they’re not. The movie has highlighted some major patriarchy issues which were really pleasant to watch. In a scene where Rahul Bose who is Priyanka’s husband tells everyone that he gives his wife permission to work. To which Farhan Akhtar asks him why his wife needs permission when they’re both partners? You do not give your partner permission and if that’s the case, you’re not in a partnership! The movie also normalizes divorce, working women, sisters being more successful than brothers, and how it’s completely okay to have little issues with your family members. The movie beautifully talks about martial abuse which isn’t physical. Yes, they talk about emotional abuse and manipulation which is really an important thing but we don’t want to talk about it. The movie shows that’s it’s okay if you’re in a bad marriage, it’s okay if you’re not happy as it’s never too late to achieve your goals and do what makes you happy despite your gender! The movie shows that girls can be successful and how important is it to give the same amount of love, energy, and resources to your daughter as well. It’s not always your son who needs to become successful in life, daughters can be pretty awesome too. We believe Dil Dhadakne Do is Priyanka Chopra’s one of the finest work and not just Priyanka, everyone nailed their roles which overall makes this movie a must-watch.
Sometimes you don’t want to watch a sci-fi or fantasy movie, sometimes you want something realistic yet relatable which can make you feel a little okay about your life.
Director Zoya Akhtar is known for making different and full-of-life movies and her work is definitely a treat to watch. Today, Dil Dhadakne Do completes 6 years and it makes us realize how this movie was way ahead of its time. It highlighted all the issues people nowadays can be been facing and we would definitely recommend you to watch this movie if you haven’t and we promise you won’t regret it.
