Dhaakad

Dhaakad is not so much a film as it is a series of embarrassments lasting over two hours. In an Indian film scenario that rarely gives women actors central roles in action flicks, the unwavering focus on Ranaut in Dhaakad should ideally have been a happy development. How though can one celebrate vacuous writing, dull direction and a boring result.

There's also a scene in which we are told that Agni has a rare congenital condition (one that does indeed exist in the real world - I checked) in which her heart tilts towards the right of her chest, unlike most human beings whose hearts lean to the left. I don't know if this was meant as a joke - but I know for sure the scene's concept is purely copied from 2009 film Ninja Assassin.

Given all this, the reference in the closing song is laughable, because even the worst of Tarantino is better than the most tolerable parts of Dhaakad and its insipid heroine.

Not at all worth watching. Kangana tries to overdo all the time and grabs major screen time. Copying good old Hollywood movies and other movies has been going on for years. I do not know how they find the previews acceptable and go ahead with releasing without making any change.

Just waste of time. Lesser said better it is.

My earlier review which got more than 1000 likes got deleted by the star cast n makers of this movie.

That means some fellas are burning n they cannot digest opinions.

Then again my reviews got deleted multiple times.

This is the list of the movies from which Dhaakad copied: Naked Weapon, Columbiana, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Elektra, Salt, Red Sparrow, Underworld, Atomic Blonde, Mr n Mrs Smith, Kill Bill, Hanna, Gunpowder Milkshake, Sucker Punch, The Protege, Kate, The Old Guard, Anna, Black Widow, Ava, Nikita, Haywire, Point of no Return, Proud Mary, The Villainess, Everly, Kite, Stiletto, Cat Run, Lara Croft, etc.

The lead actress' body in this movie is a proof that she hasn't done weight lifting exercises.

The hand to hand combat looks fake n the worst is the sword fight scene.

The lead actress' chubby cheeks is a proof that she hasn't done any vigorous or intense training.

Full non logical storyline, total waste of time and money. Producer should reimburse viewers. When I saw only 3 people apart from me inside the hall, I knew I have wasted my money.

The writing in this film is subpar, with a lackluster story and uninteresting characters. The screenplay is the biggest weakness, failing to engage the audience effectively.

The direction of the film is passable, without standing out as exceptional.

On a positive note, the production values are commendable, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship.

The action sequences in the film are well-executed, adding excitement and thrill to the overall experience.

Kangana delivers a noteworthy performance, deserving of recognition.

Her portrayal may earn her another National award.
