Dhadak Movie Review

Dhadak is a love story where Madhukar(Ishan Kapoor) a middle-class boy has won a food competition and is receiving the prize from Parthavi (Jahnvi Kapoor), a strong and independent girl from a rich political family. Both Madhu and Parthavi study in the same college. 

One day Madhu's friend Purshottam (Shridhar Watsar) finds Parthavi bathing in the lake and informs Madhu about it. Madhu comes to the lake and impresses Parthavi. Both Madhu and Parthavi develop feelings for each other but are unaware of it. 

Madhu tries to avoid Parthavi based on the promise made to his father, but is unable to keep to his promise.

Both Madhu and Parthavi admit falling in love with each other.

On Parthavi's B'day both Madhu and Parthavi are discovered kissing each other by Parthavi's brother and father politician Ratan Singh (Ashutosh Rana). Madhu is thrashed by Parthavi's brother and his goons  

One day both Madhu and Parthavi finally manage to escape from the police and elope together. 

What happens next for that you will have to watch the movie. 

Dhadak is a remake of the hit Marathi movie Sairat meaning wild and carefree love. 

Dhadak is engaging throughout thanks to the direction by Shashank Khaitan who has given us hits like Badrinath Ki Dulhania last year. Movie is another winner for Karan Johar and Shashank.  

Of the performances Ishaan Kapoor is talented and looks promising. This actor is sure to go a long way. Jahnvi Kapoor daughter of late Sridevi also makes a great debut and looks promising. Both these actors in their debut movie have done a fabulous job. Ashutosh Rana as the politician once again leaves a mark and looks fierce. Another mention for Madhu's friend Purshottam who is entertaining. 

The music of the movie is melodious and soulful. Two songs from Sairat have been taken in this movie the hit Zingaat and Pehli Baar. Other songs are also very good. Great music by Ajay-Atul. Another winner by them. 

Overall Dhadak is a fresh and appealing story for everyone to experience love.
