What: Taapsee Pannu’s second production venture Dhak Dhak hit the screens today and its initial feedback has been largely positive. Starring Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanjana Sanghi in the lead roles, Dhak Dhak narrates the story of four female bikers who come to understand that freedom is something to be claimed, not granted.
Furthermore: Despite her deep emotional attachment to the project, the process of producing the movie was a challenging journey for Taapsee. According to the actor-producer, despite the OTT boom, the industry still tends to favour stars, which, she said, will further widen the gap between aspiring talents and massive stars, even though there is room for everyone.
We say: During a recent interview with ETimes, Taapsee revealed that shortly after the release of Dhak Dhak’s trailer, she started hearing comments suggesting that due to its female-centric theme, the movie would likely attract only niche audiences and receive fewer screenings.
