While I have a problem of “telling not showing” with voiceovers in general, this one just takes it too far. At other times, a brilliant and necessary point is made and then underlined, italicized and emboldened by none other than a dog's voiceover.

An entire scene is created, quite literally, to explain how the liberalism is fake - no room for benefit of doubt to the audience's intelligence. For example, while it starts out showing a character's fake liberalism subtly by a casual remark he makes. The superficiality creates deeper fissures as it deals with “social issues”.

Then, how come there is not one woman in Dil Dhadakne Do who defies that without the support of a man – be it a brother or a beau. I can't imagine one of them taking the flak from men in the real world. Priyanka Chopra and Shefaly Chhaya belong to this world in real-life, right? So does director, Zoya Akhtar. This is where the film looks like it got a little too selective about the face of this world it wants to show. All youngsters are inward looking enough to poke fun at their branded footwear but will wear them nevertheless. All aunties are focussed on getting their daughters married? Almost all uncles are politicians masquerading around as businessmen? All seniors are outward looking and shallow. While the rest of the character artists – and there are loads of them – do come across as real people too, there is a blanket judgement on the entire group. While each one did as great a job as the next one, I felt like slapping Rahul Bose and I felt for a confident, successful Ayesha ( Priyanka Chopra) cowering to the men of her life (fine, with a few crores less). Anushka Sharma looks like she started off from where she left in her previous film, Bombay Velvet.
#Dil dhadakne do cast crack
Ranveer Singh, Anil Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, Shefali Chhaya, Rahul Bose all crack you up while they make you sad for their situation and/or personalities. The laughter is as much an outcome from the situation as it is from the timing of the pauses. It's wears its cynical take on its sleeve by making you laugh a hearty laugh in some really dark situations – a bit of a surprise from a film posing as a “feel good” one. Making a judgment call that the glimpse is enough to give the audience an idea of what life is like if you are in the top 1% of the population – financially. As a positive, Dil Dhadakne Do is very aware that it isn't digging too deep.
