The Dhadkan Movie Review

 
An opportunity missed

RATING: 6

Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty -the well-known action heroes of Bollywood—make a comeback in director Dharmesh Darshan's latest movie Dhadkan.

The film also hopes to bring Shilpa Shetty back into the media columns. Released under the banner of VENUS, the film has music by Nadeem-Shravan and lyrics by Sameer.

Dhadkan is about two guys vying for the love of the same girl. Anjali (Shilpa Shetty) is a rich girl who hails from a well- to-do family. Her father Mr. Singhal (Kiran Kumar) is a renowned businessman and has great many dreams for his daughter. But Anjali is in love with Dev (Sunil Shetty) who is not even half as rich as she is.

Dev too loves Anjali but at the same time he is also aware of his financial shortcomings. While on one hand he dreams of tying the knot with her on the other he has to struggle hard to make the ends meet.

When Anjali puts forward to her parents the proposal of marrying Dev she is rebuked and meets an outright refusal. More than that, she is emotionally blackmailed by her parents to marry another man. Not knowing what to do Anjali finally gives in to her parent's wishes and marries Ram (Akshay Kumar) who her parents believe will be a perfect match for her.

Ram is a man of great ideals—a man who believes in giving the rightful place to his wife and respects her sensibilities. But, despite these qualities he is unable to win Anjali's love and their marriage remains short of becoming consummate. Moreover, she even contrives a plan against Ram but later on repents after seeing the magnanimity of her husband's heart in forgiving and accepting her.

For the first time Anjali sees that her parents were probably right in thinking of Ram as a perfect match for her, and she gives in to be an ideal wife. But then suddenly comes a bolt out of the blue—Dev , her lover. Now Anjali finds herself on the crossroads where she has to choose between her husband and her lover.

The film also has Parmeet Sethi, Sushma Seth, Manjeet Kular and Kiran Kumar. Besides, there are friendly appearances by Mahima Chowdhary and Sharmila Tagore.

Nadeem and Shravan have come together after a long time and churned out the romantic melodies that go well with the theme of the film.

One thing that however stands out in the movie is the way the dialogues are delivered by the actors. Dharmesh Darshan particularly asked the actors to bring some elements of melodrama and pathos while delivering the dialogues.
