To start off with, Zoya's last movie was Zindagi na milegi dobaara, which I liked down to bits and pieces and had rated it with 10. Coming to Dil Dhadakne do, something vital seems to be missing, maybe ZNMD's charm? I'll try not to compare it with ZNMD.
Ranveer singh is the Saviour of this movie. His character well carved and he does justice to what is given to him.
Priyanka Chopra is good as Ayesha and her chemistry with her On-screen brother is superb.
Anil Kapoor hasn't lost his charm yet. He is perfectly casted. But, still, just for fun, too young to play a father's role?
Shefali Shah as Neelam Mehra compliments Anil Kapoor. As a classy and super elite mother, she does quite well.
Anushka Sharma has a "cameo" kind of a role. Nothing much for her.
Farhan Akhtar is good as always in a special appearance.
Rahul Bose gets into the character easily and does a fine job.
Special mention to Aamir Khan and Pluto Mehra. *Watch the movie*
The story lags and drags till intermission. There are some genuine laughs throughout the movie but major part of the movie is dull. Zoya Akhtar, unfortunately, wasn't able to wand out a magical spell which she did on ZNMD.
Music is quite average except "Gallan Goodiyan" which is a 'One shot' song.
An average One time watch if you go in without any Expectations.
