10/14

1. First things first, Zoya Akhtar needs to be applauded for having pulled off a magnificent film with utmost ease. With Dil Dhadakne Do, Zoya has redefined and redesigned the term ‘slice of life’ with this film. Full points to her for having chosen (read ‘handpicked’) such a vibrant cast that make the audiences believe that all the onscreen characters that they portray are totally relatable. (Bollywood Hungama)

2. 'Dil Dhadakne Do' movie has an exceptionally taut screenplay (Reema Kagti, Zoya Akhtar). Despite the fact that this film definitely qualifies to be a hallmark of a great writer in terms of story-screenplay, it does have its share of drawbacks in the form of its excessive length. (Bollywood Hungama)

12/14

3.Dil Dhadakne Do is all about delving into relationships, love and compromises, besides throwing light and giving a deep insight into the thought process of business families. While the first half of the film is neat and believable, proceedings in the second half move a snail’s pace. The film’s climax is totally dramatic. There are some sequences that really stand out. For example, the first meeting between Rahul Bose and Farhan Akhtar. (Bollywood Hungama)

4. Of the 'Dil Dhadakne Do', star cast, there is no one actor who single handedly ‘captains’ the ship. Anil Kapoor not just rocks the show, but also stuns you with his effortless performance. Lending him support is his (onscreen) better half Shefali Shah, who comes up with a stunning performance. Her delivery of wicked and tongue-in-cheek humour is something that needs to be seen in order to be believed. Of the younger lot, Ranveer Singh has definitely taken a giant leap from all of his previous performances and delivers a crisp act. The same applies for the multi-talented Priyanka Chopra, who, besides looking stunning and stealing the show with her superior acting abilities, has also sung the title track in the film. On the other hand, Anushka Sharma, whose last film Bombay Velvet met with negative reactions, has proved with ‘Dil Dhadakne Do‘ that she is still a safe bet, but she does not have a lengthy role. Farhan Akhtar, on the other hand, is as versatile as ever. He too comes up with an astounding performance. Rahul Bose does total justice to his respective roles and Aami Khan’s voice-over transcends belief. (Bollywood Hungama)

14/14

5. As far as the, 'Dil Dhadakne Do' music is concerned, it is decent and goes with the pace of the film. The film does have its share of melody under the sun in the form of some really soothing music (Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy). Despite the fact that the songs like ‘Gallan Goodiyaan’, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do‘, ‘Girls Like To Swing’ stand out amongst the rest of the album, one would still rue the absence of a chartbuster. ‘Dil Dhadakne Do‘ is targeted primarily at the multiplex audience and would resonate well with today’s youth. In simple words, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ makes for a decent watch. (Bollywood Hungama)
