Dhak Dhak Review: Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima and Sanjana Starrer Is A Beautiful Theatrical Trip

Dhak Dhak Review: Dhak Dhak starring Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi was announced with a lot of josh last year. But now, the film is releasing in theatres without much buzz. The trailer of the movie was released a few days ago, but it has not grabbed the attention much on social media. So, is this film worth your time and money? Find out in our review below...

Dhak Dhak revolves around four women, Sky (Fatima), Mahi (Ratna Pathak Shah), Uzma (Dia), and Manjari (Sanjana Sanghi). All four of them come from different backgrounds, but now they are on a road trip on bikes. They decide to ride from Delhi to Khardung La (Leh) in 7 days. Will they be able to complete this trip successfully and how will this trip change their lives? To know these answers you need to watch the film.

We must have watched many films where a trip changes the characters' lives and of course, we have watched multiple films about women discovering themselves and their strengths through some situation. But, the concept of Dhak Dhal is different as we haven't watched any film where four female characters from different age groups go on a road trip. So, that makes this film stand out from all the other female-centric movies.

Dhak Dhak is written by Parijat Joshi and Tarun Dudeja, and the latter has directed the movie as well. The first half of the film is hilarious; some scenes will make you laugh out loud and there will be tears in your eyes, no not because of any sad moment but because you will be laughing so much. The writing and the narration in the first half are just wonderful.

While the first half is hilarious, the second half concentrates on the drama and the emotional scenes. But, even during those scenes, the film doesn't bore you and it will keep you engaged. Dhak Dhak also talks about many issues that women face in our country, which have been showcased very well. Tarun as a first-time director has surely done a very good job. The new directors are surprising us with their direction. Last week, Avnish Barjatya delivered a beautiful film like Dono, and this week, we have Tarun.

A good film requires good casting and that has surely happened here. Ratna Pathak Shah is a veteran actress and she has proved her mettle in many films. But, with every performance she surprises us, and in Dhak Dhak also she is just perfect. Dia Mirza is just wonderful in the film. There's a soothing aura around her when you watch her on the big screens, and also it's good to see her in such a meaty role. Fatima Sana Shaikh is fantastic in the movie; there are some really difficult scenes in the film, but she has carried it effortlessly. Sanjana Sanghi also leaves a mark with her performance and gets the perfect amount of innocence that was required for her character.

When it comes to music, the songs in the movie are decent and it suits the film's theme. Even the background is quite good. One person who deserves a special mention is the cinematographer Sreechith Vijayan Damodar. His camera work has done wonders for the film and after watching the movie you will feel like going on a trip to the mountains soon.

Overall, Dhak Dhak is a beautiful film with some amazing performances. It is surely a theatrical ride that you will enjoy, so watch it in a theatre near you.
