“A good story influences people more than aesthetics ever could.” One such tale is “Dhak Dhak,” in which four women from various origins ride their own bikes in unison to the Khardung La point, which is close to Leh. You are not wrong, that much. Yes, you read it correctly! That’s the story: women on bikes, going about their lives as they see fit! To be honest, you can already feel your heart rate rising at the sheer concept. Let’s see how the movie performed!
When and Where to Watch Dhak Dhak
You can watch this drama on Netflix from 08 December 2023.
There is a female monk, an enterprising cook, a truck driver, a soldier, and a road construction worker who all impart wisdom to the women as they travel through Delhi and Ladakh. There are tender scenes off to the side, such as when Uzma is raking chips packages while someone else is having a heated argument.
But before long, the movie breaks its first pledge, stating unequivocally that these are motorcycle riders on a road trip, but that they have ladies in the city they left behind to answer to—mothers, husbands, and grandsons. As if to question, why should a female rider encounter different obstacles on the road than a male biker? There are flat tyres, flash floods, and mist. These are all independent of gender.
What’s the story of Dhak Dhak
Meet Sky [Fatima Sana Shaikh], a YouTuber who excels in her field but is suffering from a strained relationship and cyberbullying. She is in a desperate attempt to forge her own identity and escape the bonds of humiliation and guilt. She puts her money on a Barcelona Expo, where she gathers an army of three more ladies to share a narrative that will touch and inspire everyone. She encounters the unloved and unattended sixty-year-old Mahi [Ratna Pathak Shah]. Manjari (Sanjana Sanghi), who was raised by a single mother and is still in her cocoon, and Umza (Dia Mirza), whose spirit was enslaved by her patriarchal husband, join them.
Cast & Crew of Dhak Dhak
The latest Hindi film Dhak Dhak will launch on Netflix on December 8, as per the streaming service. Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh, and Sanjana Sanghi appeared in the movie. Tarun Dudeja is the director of Dhak Dhak, which is produced by Taapsee Pannu’s Outsiders Films in collaboration with Viacom18 Studios.
The journey can never be allowed to be truly present if it starts to become about getting over past traumas. It constantly looks backward. It’s not that films in the road trip genre shouldn’t include a lot of backstory. Zindagi In essence, Na Milegi Dobara was a wonderful tale of backstories that culminate in Spain. However, it is fatal when authors are unable to distinguish between a character’s background and their present one. They all get so caught up in trying to figure out a character’s motivation that they overlook the fact that intent is something that is born in the past and carries over into the present.
Mahi is a standout performance by Ratna Pathak Shah. The grace and flare with which she manages to pull off the Punjabi accent and the flamboyance of a Punjabi woman, who is traversing the line between being traditional and contemporary, is absolutely flawless. The presence of Dia in Umza instills a sense of fragility and tranquilly in the character. The ‘therav’ that she brings to the character is admirable and deserves acknowledgement. She was a lady who had her self-assurance taken away from her, and it is commendable that she is actively working to regain that strength.
Like a second skin, Fatima was the embodiment of Sky. It is especially impressive how beautifully the scenes that involve her emotional collapse are executed. An enormous amount of credibility is attributed to Sanjana for her portrayal as a “coming-of-age-woman” who hails from a tiny village. When taken as a whole, they are able to make us chuckle and even induce a few tears in us!
Nevertheless, the film’s material gave the impression of being somewhat lengthy. If the writing had been somewhat more polished, it would have been the icing on the cake. The music that plays in the background is good in certain instances, but it is largely forgettable. However, the images and cinematography are able to compensate for the gaps in the narrative.
