Although, unlike her previous features, this one is just a contaminated concoction. Zoya Akhtar's brilliant takes on life and human relationships is the reason one gets involuntarily attracted to her films. On the whole, 'Dil Dhadakne Do' isn't enjoyable entirely, but its still got merit & is superbly acted! Go, watch it! Rahul Bose as Priyanka's annoying husband, is in super form, yet again! Zarina Wahab leaves a mark. Anushka Sharma lends adequate support as Ranveer's lady-love, while Farhan Akhtar is nicely restrained as Priyanka's ex-flame. Ranveer also contributes to the film's funniest & best bits. Ranveer Singh, on the other-hand, is simply awesome as the young blood who has a passion for flying. As their children, Priyanka Chopra displays sincerity as a women torn between a shaky marriage & society issues. Shefali Shah as his Wife, is extraordinary. Anil Kapoor takes the lead, enacting the money-minded businessman with effortless ease. Performance-Wise: Every Actor delivers in 'Dil Dhadakne Do'. Music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy is energetic. Editing is slightly loose, as the film goes on for nearly 3 hours! Some trimming, especially in the first-hour, was needed! Art & Costume Design are fabulous. Each & Every Moment has been captured beautifully. Carlos Catalan's Cinematography is stunning. After 'Luck by Chance' & 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara', she has emerged with another impressive fare with 'Dil Dhadakne Do'. Akhtar's Direction is excellent & she deserves credit for churning out such terrific performances from its large ensemble cast. A Special Mention for the wonderful dialogue. Nevertheless, The Screenplay is fairly decent. Although Aamir Khan nails it in the voice-over, in terms of Writing, it seems as a lazy move. However, the usage of narration in the form of a dog, is a bit too much. While the first-hour is slowly paced & also loose, the second-hour is emotionally heavy. The primary characters are interestingly diverse & their on-going disagreements on issues, are fun to watch. Akhtar & Reema Kagti's multi-plotted Screenplay is definitely lengthy & concentrates on too many characters, which at times acts as a deterrent, but overall, the madness works for the most of it. 'Dil Dhadakne Do' tells the tale of a dysfunctional Punjabi family, with loads of humor & emotion. 'Dil Dhadakne Do' Synopsis: A dysfunctional Punjabi family go on a cruise, where they egos & problems clash.

Its overtly long & also not always sharp, and yet it gives us moments of pure emotion & the performances are stellar by its solid ensemble. Zoya Akhtar's 'Dil Dhadakne Do' is A Well-Made & Well-Acted Film, although its not without its share of problems.
