Finally Indian cinema has
matured, the concept on which movies are made is remarkable. Recent releases
Piku, Margarita with Straw, Lunchbox, Dil Dharakne Do all falls under same
category. Gone are the days, when movies were all about romance, song and dance.
Nowadays the main story is the king and romance is just a miniscule part of it.
Dil Dharakne Do highlights many wrongs
present in the society, it also showcase that these wrongs exist at the cream
level. It throws light on the patriarchal mind-set of Indians, where daughter
is much more deserving than son, in handling business, but still no one notice
her talent as she is born in wrong sex. Through Priyanka Chopra and Rahul Bose
marriage, It shows the dominance of Indian husband without considering the
intelligence and feelings of the wife. At the same time, Anil Kapoor and
Shefali Chayya marriage highlights the adultery issue and how it affects the
wife.
The story walks on its own two
feet, without using the support of romance. It highlights the issue, which a
family face and which is usually brushed under the carpet. Director has made a
beautiful point, that till you talk no problem works out. In a family deep
connection matters rather than superficial talks.
The film starts in Delhi and
shows the estranged Mehra family. No one seems to be happy in that family apart
from the dog Pluto Mehra. Interestingly whole narration is done by Pluto and
his point of view on humans is refreshing. Ayesha( Priyanka Chopra)is a successful
entrepreneur, covered by Forbes (so you can understand what she is) but poor
soul is stuck in loveless marriage. Kabir(Ranveer
Singh) the heir to Mehra empire is least interested in business nor he has that
business acumen. Anil and Shefali are heading the family, but their
inter-personal relationship is badly damaged, due to the indifference and
infidelity of Anil Kapoor. The plot unravels on a cruise, where the Mehras are
throwing their 30th Anniversary party. It is interesting to watch, how the
circumstances break the shell of Mehra
family. Anushka and Farhan are seen in small roles.
Why should you watch the movie:
a)Entertaining
b)Delicate handling of complex
issues
c)Anil Kapoor and Shefali
Chayya doing justification to their roles
