On October 13, 2023, the adventure drama film “Dhak Dhak,” which was helmed by Tarun Dudeja and produced by Tapsee Pannu and Ajiith Andhare, starring Fatima Sana Sheikh, Ratna Pathak, Dia Mirza, and Sanjana Sanghi, was released in Hindi.
One will be inspired to take a journey and follow their passions after reading the inspirational story of the four storm riders.
Four common women set out on a motorbike trip to reach Khardung La, the highest motorable pass in the world, and in the process, they go on a voyage of self-realization and identity exploration.
Is the trip or the destination more important? This motorbike journey demonstrates that there are more adventures in life than just these, just like on the road.
The story’s characters are first introduced to the audience by director-writer Tarun Dudeja and co-writer Parijat Joshi, setting the scene for a typical beginning.
Fatima Sana Shaikh, better known as Sky, is a motorbike reviewer and influencer who is attempting to overcome her unintentionally scandalous social media reputation and take over the masculine bastion to forge her own identity.
Grandma Manpreet, Mahi (Ratna Pathak Shah), and Uzma (Dia Mirza), is a housewife who receives little appreciation from her family.
Manjari, a Mathura girl, is scheduled to wed a stranger of her mother’s choosing. The remainder of the narrative centers on their encounters, mishaps, and exchanges with one another while they embark on a journey of self-discovery.
The film’s first half is narrated well, but it periodically falters as it depicts biases against female passengers or drivers, women’s lack of safety, and how women are taken for granted.
But once they’re on the road, the story picks up speed and becomes more exciting. Whether traveling through dramatic terrain, such as landslides, or flooding, or a pleasant ride on gorgeous roads, cinematographer Sreechith Vijayan Damodar expertly depicts the mountains.
A truck driver tells Manjari, “Apni problem mein tension lena aur doosre ki problem mein solution dena, yeh toh insaan ki fitrat hai,” in an attempt to help him approach challenges rationally. This isn’t something that can be handled lightly.Similar to a true-blue voyage, the movie features folks who impart life lessons through memorable language and simplicity.
