Director: Shashank Khaitan
‘Dhadak’ is the official remake of the Marathi blockbuster ‘Sairat’, that went on to become the highest grossing Marathi film of all times.
In ‘Dhadak’, Janhvi Kapoor makes her debut as a feisty Parthavi, the daughter of a politician, played by Ashutosh Rana, in Udaipur.Ratan Singh can go to any lengths to win the election and his daughter’s love story becomes a sore thumb when it’s judgment time.
Ishaan Khatter (Madhukar Bagla) in his second film, as a love-struck Romeo, is effortless.He ably shares the responsibility of the film on his shoulders along with his debutant partner.
The pairing is fresh and Janhvi is pleasing to the eyes. As it is her debut, she appears raw in some scenes but there is definitely a potential for her to blossom in Future.
‘Sairat’ become a sleeper hit of 2016 as its tragic ending struck a chord with the movie-goers.Revealing whether the climax has been retained or changed will be a spoiler. So, you need to head to the movie theatres to figure it out.But be prepared to be shocked as the film ends on a tragic note (and that’s not a spoiler).
Going for ‘Dhadak’ keeping ‘Sairat’ in mind could leave you disappointed as the film lacks the intensity of the original.
Watch it as a fresh film and give the young actors a chance to win your heart.
