The storyline is dreadful, slow & predictable.

[{"selector":"#anim-5bc74050-790d-4f06-a049-c6a8151b8a5d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b2d693e-639e-45f3-ae4e-8c742cbb1623","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 177.62963%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The first half of the movie is better meanwhile the second half is dull.

The brutal action sequence & action choreography is outstanding.

The movie’s BGM & Cinematography looks like it's trying to copy Hollywood but fail at various scenes.

[{"selector":"#anim-05376c12-6198-4577-9b11-a1b1d08145ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7b8e7f21-de34-4afe-b175-575cd7516328","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.41488%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kangana & Arjun were good in their role while Divya Dutta was outstanding.

The overall movie has nothing to offer apart from action.

[{"selector":"#anim-d037f850-f7c7-44b2-85af-60bb80409123","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-11807d7d-5876-4c8a-b8b7-db220d1493ff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 151.85187%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Kiddaan rates Dhaakad 2 stars out of 5.
