*'Dhak Dhak' cast and crew becomes the first Hindi film unit to ride from Delhi to Khardung La - the world's highest motorable pass*

It was a ride of a lifetime for the cast and crew of Dhak Dhak as they rode from Delhi to shoot in Khardung La. For the first time in the history of Indian Cinema a full unit rode to the highest motorable pass in the world to shoot a full scene with all the lead actors. Braving through extreme weather, amidst heavy rainfall, sandstorms and temperatures ranging from 48 degrees to -2 degrees, the team wrapped the difficult Ladakh schedule with surging emotions.

Talking about the first linear Delhi to Leh 40 days schedule, Dia Mirza said, “The most memorable instance for us as artists on this film was making it to the Khardung La pass! It holds such deep significance to each of our characters in the story and each one of us felt it. Immense gratitude for our producers, the crew and most importantly the Indian Army for making the experience smoother for us.”

Fatima Sana Sheikh on her experience, “I was the most excited about this schedule as I love going for bike rides, but this journey pushed my limits, personally and as an actor. We made it through all the ups and downs and reached Khardung La! It was an unbelievable and exhilarating experience to shoot there and by the end of it I know that I’ve learnt so much more about myself as a performer and a person.”

Speaking about the film and the shoot, Ratna Pathak Shah says “If someone had told me 6 months ago that I would be riding a bike all the way to Ladakh at 65, I would have laughed! This film has been special to me in many ways. It has forced me to face my fears, taught me to trust myself, my colleagues and my crew in stressful situations, taken me to one of the most beautiful and awe-inspiring places in the world and introduced me to some wonderful people. When a film becomes an adventure for all involved, it stops being a product and becomes an experience. The story becomes a part of us!”

Sanjana Sanghi added, “There are some moments in life that simply don’t feel real, that are just larger than life! Being on the road for weeks had been a transformational journey, culminating at the breathtaking Khardung La pass. It’s been challenging and physically grueling, yet tremendously satisfying.”

The producers are ecstatic to have pulled off such a feat to give audiences real visuals and scale of this unique road journey drama.

A Viacom18 Studios & Outsiders Films production in association with BLM Pictures, Dhak Dhak is directed by Tarun Dudeja & will hit cinema screens in 2023.

Love. Respect. Everyone Deserves Both! Watch the Zee Cinema Television Premiere of Thappad, a film that won hearts of families across India

It is rightly said,‘Rishte banane mein utni effort nahi lagti, jitna nibhane mein lagti hain’.Similarly, each one of us are surrounded with loved ones who sacrifice their happiness for ours, but we are so engrossed  in our lives that we tend to take them for granted.Shedding light on this subject and making you think ‘is love without respect worthy of even being called love?’, is Director Anubhav Sinha’spowerful film Thappad.Touted as the most important film of the year, the movie through Amrita’s journey of standing up for her self-respect, makes a point about the society that takes gender roles for granted.

After winning a lot of love and respect at the theatres, the family drama ‘Thappad’ is coming to your homes with its World Television Premiere on Zee Cinema on 28th June at 9 pm.

Elaborating on the experience of making Thappad, Anubhav Sinha said, “Thappad has been a challenging experience for me and It’s something that I am immensely proud of. The movie tackles a plethora of issues of domestic violence that have unfortunately been normalised. A whole lot of us indulge in gaslighting without realising it. And, in order to correct our behaviour, we need to first know that it is incorrect. We have worked hard to encapsulate the right messaging and emotion throughout our film; it is important, now more than ever for the film and what it stands for, to reach as many people as possible.  The response so far has been phenomenal. I am grateful to be a part of an era where storytelling as well as audiences, are evolved enough to embrace such movies that are against the tide. With the World Television Premiere on Zee Cinema, we hope to bring a change in the mindset of the people about this crucial issue that people take for granted.”

Thappad is a journey of Amrita, a talented, educated and a loving housewife who was happy with her life being surrounded with her family and husband’s priorities until the day her husband slaps her in front of a crowd. Amrita’s perfect relationship is shattered, and she embarks on a tough journey to fight for her self-respect stating that, even if it’s just a slap, wo nahin maar sakta.

To find out where Amrita’s journey of standing up for herself leads her, don’t miss watching the World Television Premiere of Thappad only on Zee Cinema on 28th June at 9pm!

Thappad-The Slap

The lockdown has been a great time for films, specifically on platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime. I am entertained by the sudden waking up of humankind to Malayalam films on these platforms and I laugh at some of the neo-Mallu reviews of new-entry fans, and that’s a separate subject I would write about anyway.

But this one is about a Hindi flick called Thappad, the latest entry into Amazon Prime.

I have always loved themes that question the inherent Indian patriarchy. I have been branded as a feminist and it’s a tag that I do not intend to shy away from. This world is still under the clutches of male dominance. I remember a visit to the Thiruttani temple, not too long back- And as much as I was soaking in the bhakti, the beauty and serenity of the hilltop- I am unable to forget a scene- Of one of the flower vending women being harassed by her drunken husband for money, right in front of the temple and in public view. It was a sight hard to see, even harder to digest because it was injustice at many levels.

Thappad is a hard slap on the face of the male privilege  that still runs through the veins of this nation! Nurtured by both men AND women, aunty jis and nani jis alike.

Wait, no, this film is not about male bashing. Thappad is also a film that beautifully sketches characters of men who can be blessings in women’s lives. Like Amrita’s( Taapsee) father or the man Shivani ( Dia Mirza) had as a husband, that she never found an equivalent of, so is content remaining single, after his death. The celebrated “right”man exists-no doubts, but is more uncommon than common.  Simply because of the way the Indian male is nurtured and the privilege that he assumes. That even Amrita’s father while being completely endorsive of his daughter may have ignored the life goals of his wife..

Thappad is a simple storyline and a simple plot. But what makes it extraordinary are the strong characters played by outstanding women. It shows beautifully how women at every level are a part of this patriarchal net-be it a house maid or a successful money-minting lawyer. Whether it is the mother, mother in-law or a young girl- Nobody is spared.

Amrita, Netra, Sunita,Shivani, Swati- We relate to them ALL.

Taapsee is becoming the star of this decade for her choice of roles and the brilliant execution. A very close second is Maya Sarao ( Netra). One is a “ content with my morning ginger chai and salwar kameez” housewife. While the other is a boy-cut, workout freak, smart ,elite and ultra-expensive lawyer.  And in the end the plainclothes housewife challenges the cut throat elitist to question her own views on her own marriage. Both these women have built this film.

And Sunita the maid- oh when she finally confronts her own life in her own style- I cried out loud with tears flowing,sitting in my room, for it felt like personal liberation. Hats off! To the character and the actress.

But the real heroine of the film are the strong powerful dialogues.

“ I did everything for you when I was in love with you-Now I am not in love with you anymore”

“ Marriage is a contract, a compromise between two people- Not every marriage has love in it”

“ Women are not important, our emotions are not very important as long as the men are happy”

“ Suddenly I became aware of all the unfairness I had learnt to accept”

“ I respect men a lot-So let me just forget that you,as a man, uttered these words”

And so many more....stopping here so this write up doesn’t become a first class spoiler J

Almost all the dialogues and the points of view that made sense from their respective points of view.

This film is bound to delight you or make you uncomfortable, based on where you stand in your own life. To that extent, this film is more of a trigger film than a feel good flick.

We can have our varying views on marriage – Being married, not being married is an individual choice. But each choice comes with its consequences-And the film is a beautiful portrayal of this fact.

And that women deserve to be respected, irrespective of their choices. Men take respect for granted but when women demand the same, they find it difficult to even adapt to this “need for respect”

The film has many more layers and shades to it-And in my personal experience, I discover these shades when I watch some good films over and over again.

But here is a note to all men who treat their partners right in every way- you guys are a rare breed! And you deserve to be celebrated! And hey you “housewives” who gave upon your own dream genuinely for the sake of your partners- You are all the real stars!

Meanwhile, this film is a MUST watch – I would have preferred a “Queen” like ending to Thappad , but still not disappointed with the film J

I love this film, period! And I am going to savour it as much as I savoured “Queen” a few years back and “Pink” a few days back.
