Pluto explains it all

Dil Dhadakne Do (2015)

Directed by Zoya Akhtar this film stars Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Priyanka Chopra and Ranveer singh. A middle aged couple from India's high society invite friends and family on a cruise to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary but it brings family problems to the fore.

Despite the soft and glossy exterior there is some real family drama and social commentary trying to get out here. While at times this does seem a bit like “rich people problems” there are the hints of the social pressures that exist in Indian society seeping though the story. The plot is a little bit too obviously constructed with everyone's perfect match telegraphed far too early but this is still a good watch with plenty of entertainment.


4/5
