Dhadkan

wow! this film was certainly one of the best ones ive seen in recent times. though the story was similar to last year's grand hum dil de chuke sanam, dhadkan is still a memorable film. the film is helped a lot by a clever script, well-choreographed songs, well-written lyrics, and a deep-rooted emotion that no other film has grabbed in recent memory. this movie is also a major weepfest, with absolutely no comic relief (but thats not a bad thing--its nice to see a movie with no annoying comic relief!)

my advice is.. go watch this movie! allow yourself to be swept off your feet for the entire duration of the film, allow yourself to laugh, to cry, to marvel at the excellent dialogues, and the flawless performance of sunil shetty.

my only problem with the film is that the ending is too "bollywood"! they could have improved the ending a lot.. anyways, still a great movie to watch..

I watched this movie on TV. The acting of Sunil Shetty is very good & convincing, Akshay was OK. Watch it for Sunil Shetty. Back in 2000 actors usually suffer from overacting problems but Sunil Shetty is too good even when compared to today's standard.

After watching this film I now consider this to be my favourite film, Akshay Kumar plays the role of Ram, a family man. He gives a strong performance, which makes a normal change from his action films. Sunil Shetty plays the role of Dev, his performance for me in this film was brilliant. Shilpa Shetty's role was worth watching due to the emotions being displayed through out the film The storyline was different, but I think the ending perhaps was a bit disappointing. The songs in the films are romantic and beautiful, I have two personal favourite songs, which are two of the main songs in the film. Both Akshay and Sunil give a brilliant performance, portraying their characters emotions. This is a must see film for fans of romantic films, worth watching for the star cast.

This was one of the nicest movies in a while. Im not a great Sunil Shetty fan, but he was amazing in a role it seems was made for him. The story was basic, yet another bollywood love triangle, with a twist this time. Instead of the old, the new prevails. Not only is Sunil good, but the rest of the cast performs as well. Shilpa Shetty was solid, and Akshay...well, what can i say, im a fan, so im bound to be biast! He looked fantastic. I loved the softer side to his character, it contrasting so startlingly with Sunil's character.

However, where there are ups, there has to be downs. i have to say that there are a lot of unanswered questions in the story.

* How does Sunil become rich? * What exactly does he do to bring Ram to an almost bankrupt state, and * How does her fall in love with Mahima's character so quickly? Rebound? Her father doesn't look to pleased with the news of Dev as a prospective son-in-law...Why?

Unanswered, and a bit frustrating. But the bad outweighs the good. A must see if you love romance mixed with emotion. O! and if you're an Akshay fan of course!

I enjoyed the songs and Suniel Shetty's performance as a child. Akshay Kumar's character in this movie was too boring for me as I was used to seeing him kicking and fighting in all movies. But when I look at it now, It was a nice subtle performance. However the film looks and feels outdated today.
