Dhak Dhak

It's based on true events. The actoresses have done a good job in depicting the real life people and life how it is. It's not unrealistic crap.

The flow of the movie is nice and it's directed well. The step by step progress and challenges are well depicted.

The one thing I liked is the journey which is lovely and inspiring. Also everything is not about posting it on social media the real adventure or trip or travel is for you and how you feel about it.

How bikers feel and how they enjoy the journey is real. I can really imagine the fun and feel of such travels. Loved that part.

The message of female empowerment is clear and people should really understand why it is important for everyone men and women to have the freedom.

Film Review: Dhak Dhak streaming on Netflix

The theme of the film revolves around 4 women Uzma ( Dia Mirza) , Mahi ( Ratna Pathak Shah) , Sky ( Fatima Sana Sheikh) & Manjari (Sanjana Sanghi) who undertake the perilous journey from Delhi to Khardungla pass in Ladakh on their bikes ( yeah , an all women's biker gang !! ) in order to escape the monotony of mudane lives that they r living, constantly being judged for their actions as women in a male dominated society and basically not being able to live their lives in the way they want to!!

It is a story of adventure, with emotional backstories of each of the lead cast, a journey of self discovery and a way to prove to the world that women are no less capable than men in any way.

It is a simple film with great performances by the lead cast !! The film may seem a bit slow in the first half but as it progresses, there r a few heartfelt moments along banter between the women which will strike an emotional chord with the viewers. Women might relate to it better than men perhaps.

A decent one-time watch. Not bad at all. Cudve been a bit more fast paced in the first half though.

Going with 3/5 for this one... Adios 🙂!!

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.

This is a story of four women of different age groups and backgrounds who have a common passion of going on a road trip riding their motorcycles. The eldest is Mahi a grandmother out to prove she is something to reckon with, the second is Uzma a middle aged housewife with a dominating husband and a teenaged daughter, the third is Shashi a young woman vlogger recovering from a broken relationship and the fourth is Manjari an orthodox, timid young woman on the threshold of getting married. They all their reasons to be a part of this 7 day road trip from Delhi to Leh organised by Shashi as an assignment to present to her boss so that she can move to Barcelona for a project.

The movie will specifically relate to women, bikers and to road trip/ adventure lovers in general. The plot is fairly predictable since we all know what happens on a road trip and just about everything happens here. The tyre puncture, the breaking down of bike, the minor accident, the roadside dhabas, one of them lost enroute and then found, the bad weather/ terrain, falling sick ---they are all there. Of the good experiences there is friendship, bonding, the spirit of adventure, self discovery and good times spent not forgetting the helpful truck drivers and fellow travellers. The movie has a well directed, fairly interesting narrative, some good acting by the four actors and excellent cinematography of the picturesque locations. It is not without flaws and cringe worthy moments but then which movie doesn't have them ?
