Review of Dhadkan (2000) by Leo L — 16 Sep 2010

An interesting movie. Forlorn love. Honor. Relationships. Friendship. Anjali and Dev have loved each other since childhood, and when the time arrives for Anjali to get married. She convinces her parents that she wishes to marry Dev so she brings him home to introduce him to her parents. Rebellious and strong-willed, Dev invokes every possible form of anger and doubt. Refusing to accept Dev, Anjali's father insists that she marry his choice: Ram. Obeying his wishes, Anjali marries Ram. As she settles into her new home, she is initially at odds with Ram's stepbrother, stepsister, and stepmother. Unwilling to bear the hostility between his wife and family, Ram insists that his family move out of the family home. As they do, Anjali begins to respect her husband even more. She also begins falling in love with him. Their bond grows deeper, and later becomes threatened when Dev arrives. Refusing to give up on Anjali, he begins to threaten their relationship in hopes that Anjali will be his in the end.

Great cast- Shilpa Shetty, Suniel Shetty, Akshay Kumar, Mahima Chaudhry, and Kiran Kumar. Worthy!
