Featured reviews
The people who are saying this movie is not good clearly don't know anything about films.Dil Dhhadakne do is one of my favourite films.It is inspiring,beautiful,funny and just a full package.The film has a soul and is just a masterpiece from the director Zoya Akhtar.
Reema Kagti and Zoya Akhtar make a stunning team together. Reema is a genuis; Zoya added her brilliance. This is a highly messed up story of an even more messed up family. It all happens on a cruise, where they bring everyone's life to the table without roaming into the past and get things even more messed up to create gigantic conflicts.
This is a story about family issues. One of Zoya's favorite genres including adventure; travel and trips to be honest.
I have known Zoya well, the films she chooses, her usual casts. There is hardly any movie where she has disappointed. If there is any, pardon me, I haven't watched.
The casting was amazing here. Ranveer, Farhan, Priyanka, Massey, they were exceptional. Anil, always, is. It was magnificent to see, how they brought everyone's life, little things, issues, social issues, to the table to make things completely messed up on a cruise trip. I am repeating messed up these many times since this is the second most messed up Hindi language movie I have watched in my whole life, first one, Welcome, being my all time favorite.
It was very slow burn. Few things weren't even required although the first fifteen minutes was just the introduction where they revealed only important things. Cunningly, they kept creating conflicts from then only to solve all at once at the climax.
This was really a tough story to write and direct, a job well done I must say.
Few more things, it was a brave and very good decision by Zoya not to cast her favorite actress in this movie. Two, I loved Galla Goodiyan song and the choreography along with the song's timing.
The song with Ranveer and Anushka was completely futile.

I don't know why the movie is so under rated. Movie surely deserves at least 8 stars.
I read the reviews and rating on IMDb before watching the movie and thought that it was waste of time. But I went to see it with my family and I am glad that I went...
This movie revolves around an upper class Delhi based Punjabi family. The movie is light and very entertaining and the movie script contains no cheap stunts like emotional sympathy(showing a little girl who has cancer or has lost his parents)or cheap non-veg stunts. While I was in the movie theater all I could hear is the people laughing and enjoying their every moment from the start to the very end....
Those who loved Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara will really love and enjoy it.
The message from this movie is also very nice which is "Zindagi jeene ke liye hai....zabardasti kheechne ke liye nahi".
So just give it a try and do take your parents with you. Enjoy!!

Loved the movie. Thank god I did not see the movie with high expectations and did not watch it in 1st week of it's release. If I had then I would have gone with ZNMD sort of expectations and would have felt otherwise, I got mixed reviews from friends and different web forums so went with low or no expectations and I was like wow, I did something good for me to watch this piece.
Enter the world of rich families with familiar problems of all classes. misfit couples, spoiled brats, ego classes, not speaking of problem until it's killing point, return of Exs, gossips, love & trust between sibling & friends, smart plans, foul plans, loud celebrations, ruling parents and most importantly follow your heart situations. I hope I did not miss anything.
This movie had everything I was looking for, 170 minutes it was long and I have habit to watch how much time is left to complete any movie, I did the same this time too, but wanted to see this movie even more, it was that sort of magic created on screen.
Acting wise everyone topped each other. I did not like Ranveer, but boy he managed to earned lot many more fans from this movie alone. PC looked gorgeous and acted fabulously. Anil Kapoor and his wife Shefali gave run for money to all young leads. Wanted to see more of Farhan and Anushka somehow they were underused. Rahul Bose did well as expected but more was needed from him to have a deep impact of how was he with his wife. Rest all actors filled the gaps so well.
Music could have been better, this is first time I felt the movie had less songs than it was required, two of the songs I liked and will be there on my playlist.
Loved the ending, and it has potential to have part 2, as what happened with all leads plus all side characters as you have invested in them as their built up was quite nice.
Movie had number of funny moments, so you catch your breath and then again lose it in quite a few situations. So movie keeps you engaged in those 170 minutes of run and entertains very well.
Zoya - I am your fan now, you did wonderful ZNMD and again you had your unique way of handling family drama, hats off to you lady. Awaiting for more from you. Please do not take another 4-5 years to come in :)

Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) and Kabir (Ranveer Singh) join friends and family on a cruise to celebrate the 30th wedding anniversary of their parents Kamal (Anil Kapoor ) and Neelam (Shefali Shah). Kamal is overbearing, and both parents are strictly traditional, as well as worrying about what others think of their family. In addition, their marriage is less than successful. During the voyage, the siblings both go against their parents wishes in matters of love, creating more discord in their family.
This is not a lighthearted movie, though it does contain some humor and romance. It is, instead, a serious drama about family dynamics, expectations, and acceptance. The plot is rich and well-written. The music and choreography are average. Kapoor gives a stellar performance as the tightly-strung, controlling father. I had previously only seen Chopra in the rom-com setting, and was pleasantly surprised by her ability to play a deeper role. Both Singh and Shah are also convincing in their roles. Rahul Bose plays Ayesha's husband, and does a fine job with varying emotions. The movie also stars Anushka Sharma and Farhan Akhtar, and both give credible performances. I was impressed by this underrated film and found it to be just about perfect. This is one I certainly recommend.
Cast also includes Aamir Khan, Zarina Wahab, Vikrant Massey and Ridhima Sud, among others.
