Kangana Ranaut kicks the envelope hard with this action-drama

The director, although tries really hard to push the envelope with a woman-led action film, with no romantic interludes to digress into, finishes way short of the finish line. As the co-writer of the film with a heavy Quentin Tarantino hangover, his keener attention to story details could have really elevated the movie. Also, under-utlising actors like Sharib Hashmi and Saswata Chatterjee in bit roles pinches hard.(more)

Kangana Ranaut deserves full marks but even great performances can't salvage jaded script

Dhaakad is high on thrill and action, and equally outstanding performances, but by the end of it, you wish half the attention was paid to the story, writing and a convincing narrative too.(more)

Kangana Ranaut tries a Lara Croft in a dull, embarrassingly derivative, grossly violent saga

Ultimately, even the grand reveal in Dhaakad�s climax falls flat because it is completely illogical. Without giving away details, let's just say Agni was sent on a mission that would inevitably reveal to her a history that the person who sent her on that mission had studiously tried to hide from her. It's impossible to care enough to give the writers the benefit of the doubt and try to figure out why. (more)
