  • For Bollywood, 'Dil Dhadakne Do' Gets Its Beats Right
Zoya Akhtar's multi-starrer "Dil Dhadakne Do” tugged at the heart strings of celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Riteish Deshmukh who not only praised the performance of the star cast but also urged the talented filmmaker to come out with more such cinematic gems.
 
The film revolves around relationships. It narrates a story of a dysfunctional Punjabi family and how they discover love and friendship during a cruise across the Mediterranean.
 
Featuring Anil Kapoor, Shefali Shah, Farhan Akhtar, Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Anushka Sharma in key roles, “Dil Dhadakne Do” explores the nuances of relationships and tries to find the bond which often fades away due to professional calls. The film will hit the screens on June 5.
