Who's your favorite amongst the Wanel?

[@vishinilaka]

Watched the movie yesterday. Loved it very refreshing story, the way it was filmed and the female Leads all of them were too good

[@sona8405]

I just watched this movie. What an amazing amazing movie :-) Dia , I loved your character..you were superb in the film. Loved it

[@rm3015]

I can listen to Ratna Pathak and her bluntness forever but find it difficult to comprehend Dia's sweetness in every interview.

[@Stonytude]

Why?

[@itn0687]

Always desperate for not being successful

[@mansiagarwal8676]

Also always interrupting others while they are speaking! So frustrating

[@chandler_bing7433]

Diplomacy

[@rm3015]

@@mansiagarwal8676 Dia interrupting would be tolerable if either she could act or had something of substance to say.

[@IamSmithtaral]

What an interview it was..! All the ladies talked from their heart, it felt genuine. The chemistry of Dia Mirza and Ratna Pathak was amazing, a mutual respect and love could be shown while they were speaking. The interviewer asked a solid question which resulted in a good and productive conversation. Ratna Pathak's candidness was hilarious, despite being a fantastic senior actress, she doesn't have an attitude or arrogance, and makes everyone feel comfortable

Dia should wait for Ratna ji or others to complete the sentence 🥴

[@anshitamishra6639]

It was one of the good interviews I have seen in recent times. The guests and host talked so honestly and intellectually. I could relate with each one and was inspired by Ratz. Kudos to the team and hope this movie will be successful 😊

[@o_rahee_chal]

Loved Fatima in this interview the way she answered resembles us❤

[@shreyaguptoo]

Kudos to the Director Tarun that he was the spine of this entire project. Can't imagine the limitations he must have faced as writer , director of this film - directing 4 different personalities in such different environmental conditions. 🎉

[@zayn5548]

Seems like you are whining more than him, even he will be thinking ye cartoon kon hai 😂

[@Gubdiss]

What a lovely cast! Also I want to see more of Ratna Pathak Shah in lead roles! I'll watch any movie she's in ❤

[@koelchak1]

50 bonus points to Ratna Pathak at the end, for rightly calling out the crass Delhi tourists who go to the mountains just to trash 👍

[@shashanktheoverthinker]

Sweet Kharam coffee is one such series which is beautiful n also portrayed by great actors about travel n women gang alone on a trip and its a great series. I wish it gets the notice it deserves

[@Seedhe-Saadhe-Akshay-Akshay]

I just watched the trailer and I am really looking forward to watch the movie, it looks very promising and I know for sure the movie is gonna ROCK IT , I wish the entire team of DHAK DHAK the very best in life.

[@RakeshDebbarma86]

This is the best interview ever. We need to support this movie and even wait for the sequel to it. Such type of movie needs our support.

[@khushboorajput981]

Ratnaji is looking gorgeous. Beautiful hair and great confidence. Bold and beautiful.

[@aasthadwivedi6792]

Just watched the movie.. it was fabulous ❤ congratulations to each and every Artist, crue members and production team who worked very hard in the making of this new refreshing piece of art ❤

Thank you for giving new and correct meaning for dhak-dhak. Surely want to see this movie with my friends and family this holiday season 🤍🖤🤎💜🩵💙💚💛🧡🩷...wish you all the best...nice interview👏

What a stunning gorgeous beautiful film! I just saw it today and I'm obsessed with it!! Can't wait to watch it again. Thank you , what a treat 💕

[@craigslistposting8089]

Ratna Shah Pathak is just superb!

[@dimplesharmalyngdoh628]

Awareness of self and be there for your self.., wow powerful💪

[@benazirajmal1908]

You can only truly have agency when you have self actualisation and self discovery. You need to know what makes your heart beat in order to really pursue the full potential of your being. Wow so beautiful... Thank You Dia Mirza for putting this across so gracefully. Words to live by, indeed.

[@khursheedrind4971]

It's always amazing when ladies essay their stories my heart goes out to the writers for making such an effort still muslims are stereotyped in india like dia mirzas character

[@arpitthakur2489]

Totally agree on Wahedda Rehman 's point Please give her roles not just trophies

[@akshitchhetri1997]

What a Movie! What a Team! What a story and What a Journey!

[@sona8405]

I just watched this movie. What an amazing amazing movie :-) Dia , I loved your character..you were superb in the film. Loved it

[@reemaravi9664]

It is a really really awe inspiring interview which will resonate deeply with most of the women and maybe few men.. I hope it can bring even just a small change in our society's thought process when it comes to what a woman can do..

[@anamenable5180]

Ratna Pathak Shah would have been an excellent professor.

[@kakolighosh7544]

Such an inspiration for the director to come up with such an amazing story with female characters as lead and not the monotone commercial movies. Looking forward to watch the movie and wishing all best to the cast and crew’s 🙂

[@TheStorywithShikha]

Wanted to hear more of Ratnaji and Fatima, but Dia kept interrupting. More interview etiquette required.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

18:23 Yes, we don’t have enough of Waheeda Ji on screen.

[@arpitthakur2489]

Completely agree 100 percent , bollywood has not given her due post her prime she has been reduced to cameos and grandmother roles .... she was phenomenal in Rang de, Delhi 6 and lamhe.. I am a 90s kid so not seen a lot of her earlier work but she lit up the screen in pyasa , saheb biwi Ghulam and ofcourse guide. Waheeda ji is nothing short of Amitabh Bachchan but needs gud roles

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Ratna Ma’am is back on the channel. Let’s get the napkins ready because tea shall be spilled. P.S. The trailer looks cool!

[@ditsaa]

great questions. good discussion. but sad that some of the folks want to to just interrupt another in their thought.

[@diyak2182]

"We may be a speck, but we are limitless". Just incredible

[@DEVansh001]

And these actors, specially Ratna Pathak doesn't even have an ounce of ego.... Huge respect... Kidney touching video

[@o_rahee_chal]

Loved the last part the most🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can’t wait to watch this movie ❤❤❤❤

[@radhaiyer6402]

I’ll watch and recommend others too. Such films should be made a hit! ❤

[@innerworldeasycooking]

Great conversation ❤❤❤

[@anuradhaverma7]

Ratna Pathak aur Dia Mirza jaise ache actors ko le k, itne ache concept k saath (4 totally diff. Women character in a bike ride), Sunidhi Chauhan ki awaaz k saath itna brainless and blend movie kaise koi bana sakta hai. Movie kahin bhi real nahi feel hui, Hawa hawa me sa sab lag raha tha, Raw emotion jo aap feel karte ho wo missing tha, character depth ko dhaji uda diya hai director ne.

[@harishsharma1575]

Saw it in one go, too good, enjoyed...but lot of big actors and less role for them, like Ratna Pathak, Naseer Sahab...

[@minuanilkumar1517]

It’s a beautiful movie Loved it so much Hats off to the 4 main characters , the director and his team

[@shaliniagarwal5808]

Such intelligent and normal conversation.

Diya Mirza should behave. She was interrupting every other actor. That's bad

Dhak Dhak is a wonderful movie, loved it❤

[@rahultiwari-dx8qo]

2:47 a random observation sneha's expression aftwr she asks question to Sheikh has facepalm written all over😂 she seems to be saying to Fatima"Bro the question was in English not in Hindi

[@sumedhpagare1605]

09:08 We always wanted stories where hero nahi hai just the story is hero. Unfortunately we live in the most uncivilized country in the world. Here we always needed a hero, glad it's changing.

[@Neelmani108]

Undoubtedly A Gr8 Movie DHAK DHAK ❤❤❤❤ 🎬 Simply Loved it nothing too fancy yet Powerful. Indeed a Beautiful movie after quite a long time.

[@ipsitamallick1]

This movie is actually really good. The 6.3imdb is misleading. It can be really special for some people.

[@BhuvneshkumarSingh-bg4nk]

Fatima sheikh is amazing

[@pratikjoshi7539]

Dia Mirza bakiyo ko bhi bolne ka chance do. Kitna interrupt karti hai bich me.

Hopefully ppl watch this movie otherwise only gadar and tiger will be our choice

[@manoreddy-yule4506]

Absolutely inspirational movie

[@soniachand6728]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@pabitathapa5207]

Its so annoying when people interrupt each other while speaking. Like just wait for a couple seconds.

[@kanakraju-fo1rv]

Where is the captain of the ship , I meant by the Director of the film ?

[@sumedhpagare1605]

02:42 answer - because there are very few women writers and directors who have friendships like that. That's why none of them felt that they should make a movie about female friendship. They know nobody wants to watch it. Not even those women who have female group of friends. It'll surely tank at the box office.

[@elizabethmathew5976]

Such fun 😊😊

[@RachitaGupta]

Hax anyone here seen it. Share your review. Sounds good and different from the interview

5:53 Case in point, Masoom.

Too much Faminism

[@RK19091]

Ratna looks odd one out in this otherwise beautiful frame. This movie and the interview would have been better off without Ratna.

[@dharvinnarraidoo9817]

She is part of the movie why wouldn't she be there

[@rm3015]

She looks refined and dignified as always.

Dhak Dhak is such a unique and beautiful film. Watched it today and totally loved it. 🫶
