It must be Bollywood’s senseless season. A month ago’s Piku organized itself around the obstructed Amitabh Bachchan’s powerlessness to pass solids; now Dil Dhadakne Do, the most recent crowdpleaser from essayist executive Zoya Akhtar (Luck by Chance, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara) sees the misfortunes of a group of one-percenters described by a pooch with Aamir Khan’s voice. Seeing as this family is weighing up whether to auction their private plane, we apparently require a closer purpose of distinguishing proof; this unassuming pooch, malevolently watching his experts’ indiscretions, will for some time be the most thoughtful vicinity on screen.
We meet the Mehras as they leave upon a 10-day Bosphorus journey, sorted out by industrialist patriarch Kamal (Anil Kapoor) to commend three many years of marriage to the submissively faithful Neelam (Shefali Shetty).
