Half way into this desi Red Sparrow (2018), which the makers of this film are calling Dhaakad, I was annoyed. As someone who has closely followed Kangana Ranaut’s journey, rarely has a director been able to extract the best of her. Brimming with potential and acting prowess that easily makes her amongst the best performers in the industry, Ranaut’s films in recent times hardly match up to her brilliance. Dhaakad is the latest in the slew where she gives her all, much like her last film Thalaivii or even the pitch perfect Judgementall Hai Kya, but the film is too scattered to capitalise on everything she brings to the table.
Dhaakad isn’t as much about its thin plot, as it is about its brilliant action choreography and sharp cinematography. It’s the country’s most expensive action film led by a female star till date. Pre-2020, I could’ve bet a whopping amount on the fact that, had a male superstar headlined it, the film would have been a raging hit. Yes, the action is that good. But 2022 is a different time when the audience has different expectations from a film. I, for one, want to watch a good movie and Dhaakad is nowhere close to that, despite all its big bang boom stunts and Ranaut slashing and slaying like a mean killing machine.
