Dhadak

I'm actually stunned by the low ratings this movie has received, though it has rightly proven to be a box office success. First of all, I will state I haven't seen Sairat. Maybe Sairat is much greater than this, but that doesn't undermine this movie! Furthermore, Sairat is a regional movie, it can't appeal to all audiences alike, like the way this does. Dhadak is a fantastic movie in it's own right. You feel for the characters right throughout. The film starts like a normal bollywood romance, a boy meets a girl, they fall in love....romance pursues. But it is the second half, where reality kicks in, is where the film soars. This movie required debutants, who are raw and unpolished. Even Sairat did that. Dhadak does that too. Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishan Khatter are not pros at acting, but thier raw unpolished performances make you believe in the characters. People are silly at making a fuss about nepotism as if they would've done it better than them. We celebrate the likes of Ranbir Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, and suddenly now we scream about nepotism! Just watch the movie, and enjoy it guys! Another plus point of the film is great music and Cinematography. Udaipur and Kolkata are beautifully captured in the two halves. Overall I definitely recommend Dhadak. Ignore the haters. These days it's simply cool to bash bollywood, and go gaga over anything hollywood. It's a trend. Everyone judges movie even before watching them. Rating- 8/10

I've been on IMDB for almost a decade and here is my first movie review. Just watched it now because I haven't heard of it earlier. And I do not consider it to be overhyped because of a star cast. I stopped reading a bollywood movie reviews, because all that most of them do is overrate a films that don't deserve any attention at all. Now I come here and all I see is a hate. I have never seen so much hate for a movie that actually does have some sence in it. Only because an actress (who BTW has done a lovely job for a debut) is Sri Devi's doughter. Come on you all, your hate for this one is so obvious, most of you don't even explain the 1/10 rating at all! Shame on you! At least for a memory of Sri Deviji you could have some respect! Bollywood is not in a condition where u can underrate a decent cinema because of a star cast. Go watch Bharat or Zero and rate it 10/10, that is a cinema you deserve!

So here is what I can say about Dhadak. Both of the actors has done a good job. It will never be a masterpiece of some sort but it does have a charm in it. The music is touching. The supporting cast is good. It was really funny at some parts. Yes it does have a cliche spots, but they do not ruin the message it carries. Do not expect anything out of it, just enjoy it as it gets. I do not want to continue so I don't get to the spoilers. To all of you who didn't see this I recommend to ignore the haters (who are mad because they didn't get to be a Raj Kapoor grandchild))) and enjoy it. I've seen many bad bollywood films, I mean MANY! but,,, this isn't the case! Karan Johar surprised me this time. It gave a drop of hope for his upcoming works.

Both the actors don't even know to act and emote..this is a crap movie fit to wash our poop in toilet. . Worst movie ever. .my rating : 0 stars .Don't waste Ur time seeing this garbage.. Better see antman..don't encourage these crap actor's who are flag bearer of nepotism...this movie is fit for toilet cleaner. Only biased reviews bciz of payment from Karan johar..this is a garbage movie..All of u don't watch this disaster movie of arrogant actors

Nepotism can get film to this star kids but telnet is god gifted. Waste of time and money

Rating - 2.75/5

Positives: 1) Ishaan and Janhvi's Performances 2) Social Message 3) Music 4) Cinematography and Production Design

Negatives: 1) Clichéd and Formulaic Storyline 2) Mundane Screenplay 3) Unmenacing Antagonist

Summary: Overall, Dhadak had a significant message to share in the climax and the superstar kids Ishaan and Janhvi were a delight to watch. But, the generic storyline and the tedious screenplay made it nearly unwatchable as I found myself cringing and regret watching the majority of the film. Nevertheless, it's sad to see Bollywood still trying to beat a dead horse while South Indian Film Industry is busy exploring unorthodox love stories like Arjun Reddy.
