Dhaakad

Not at all worth watching. Kangana tries to overdo all the time and grabs major screen time. Copying good old Hollywood movies and other movies has been going on for years. I do not know how they find the previews acceptable and go ahead with releasing without making any change.

Just waste of time. Lesser said better it is.

The writing in this film is subpar, with a lackluster story and uninteresting characters. The screenplay is the biggest weakness, failing to engage the audience effectively.

The direction of the film is passable, without standing out as exceptional.

On a positive note, the production values are commendable, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship.

The action sequences in the film are well-executed, adding excitement and thrill to the overall experience.

Kangana delivers a noteworthy performance, deserving of recognition.

Her portrayal may earn her another National award.

Dhaakad is not so much a film as it is a series of embarrassments lasting over two hours. In an Indian film scenario that rarely gives women actors central roles in action flicks, the unwavering focus on Ranaut in Dhaakad should ideally have been a happy development. How though can one celebrate vacuous writing, dull direction and a boring result.

There's also a scene in which we are told that Agni has a rare congenital condition (one that does indeed exist in the real world - I checked) in which her heart tilts towards the right of her chest, unlike most human beings whose hearts lean to the left. I don't know if this was meant as a joke - but I know for sure the scene's concept is purely copied from 2009 film Ninja Assassin.

Given all this, the reference in the closing song is laughable, because even the worst of Tarantino is better than the most tolerable parts of Dhaakad and its insipid heroine.

I was super excited about this movie; a film featuring a femme fatale similar to Atomic Blonde, Salt and such. But I have come to understand that having such expectations is only going to disappoint me more. Dhaakad falls short by a lot.

Agent Agni has had a traumatic past. But she has channeled that trauma and anger into becoming one of the most ruthless spies ever. She is tasked to track down a dangerous human trafficker; her toughest challenge till date.

Kangana Ranaut is by far one of the most talented actors we have today. She has portrayed a variety of characters; each different from the next. But none of these have been successful despite the actor receiving praise for her performances. Dhaakad is no different. She is stellar in her first action film. She pulls it off with such panache! The action set pieces are well choreographed albeit a little violent. Arjun Rampal is menacing but his accent is off. Divya Dutta is excellent and so is Saswata Chatterjee.

Dhaakad could have been much better. It could have been our Atomic Blonde or so. But the plot is predictable and plods along for most part. The melodrama and emotional scenes just make it worse. But hats off to Kangana and Divya Dutta; the dhaakad duo of the film!

Too unrealistic and the main protagonist thinks too much of herself as if she is a superwoman and whatever he dishes out people will accept not any more lasy u have fooled enough.
