Dhak Dhak

Dhak Dhak takes four stranger women on a road trip. One is a vlogger going through an identity crisis after invasion of her privacy. The other is an elderly woman who happened to win a bike in a competition. Then there is the scared girl whose marriage is fixed and is confused about her future. Lastly, a bike mechanic in a toxic marriage who wants to provide for her daughter. How these four come together to go on a biker's pilgrimage and what challenges they face during their journey to the destination as well as gaining strength to stand up to their personal lives' issues.

It is the performances especially from Ratna Pathak Shah and Fatima Sana Shaikh that carried the film whereas Sanjana Sanghi and Dia Mirza got the most impactful scenes. The characters' backstories were slightly underwritten and it tackles the emotions mostly on the surface level. Winning a bike in a lucky draw alone wasn't enough to justify the long ride to the biker's haven, leaving much of it to Ratna Pathak Shah to make it work. Despite it's shortcoming, the film definitely worked in parts and I wished the final act was handled better instead of throwing in quite a lot right from the monk to tackling the family members when one's life was at stake.

If you have bikers in your family or among your close friends, this movie would shed light on why they're so passionate about life. The aspect of bringing four female protagonists to the table with relatable and simple to understand back stories gives the film a warm and heartfelt connection for everyone. The actors evolve as the film asks the viewers two important questions, what is more important, the journey or the destination? And leaves it upto the audience to answer the same. Worth the watch with good music and the film provides a taste of India with views of the north the world needs to see.

Movie is an absolute delight for all the people who dream for an adventure.

It is showing characters living different shades of life and everyone has their own problems.

The movie gives a very good message, we are always tensed when it is our problem and we get solutions if it is neighbor's problem so try to be your own neighbor and you will see the problem getting solved in no time.

Journey to the adventure is more important and helps us to reflect on your current life we are living. As in the movie they say "Manzil jaruri hai yeah safar?" Both are equally important just enjoy as you live it.

This movie was supposed to be inspiring, feel good kind of but it has so many moments that it becomes difficult to tolerate and at multiple stages you have to skip it by few minutes. I don't know but I feel depressed, Movies are supposed to be your way out of life troubles, you know good 2 hours of fun but lol this was not fun. It has less scenes of biking on roads, more of character's life troubles despite being promoted as movie that takes you on journey. Youtube vlogers offer better quality of shots, life journey, real problems and what not. You definitely can give it a pass, there is nothing you will miss. I'll suggest youtube, some vlogers have better content and quality.

It is a well intentioned road movie which tries to break the stereotypes. Four females are in a journey together , not only the literal one but also the internal one character wise and arch wise and the motorbikes are their souls . All four has to prove something, win their internal battles and finally they succeed . It's a feel good movie . If script would have been bit tighter it would have been a cult movie . There are a lot of lapses though fatima sharing the screen with ratna Pathak can not match the aura of ratna in few scenes , her internal bleeding seems forced . On the other hand diya is given a stereotype with surfacial character arch .

Great premise and average execution it is . One time watch won't hurt though .
