In one fine scene, Ayesha is discussing incompatibility issues in her marriage with her mother. As is the spot-on timing they're delivered in. Farhan Akhtar's pat dialogs contribute significantly - they're the best takeaway from this cruise confection. Her latest Dil Dhadakne Do retains this virtue whilst exploring the woes of well-heeled lifestyles without turning them into caricatures of a dysfunctional family.

Zoya Akhtar's breezy outlook and aversion for melodrama are something I've constantly appreciated in all her previous films. Everything else is as superficial as it gets - be it his jaded marriage to ace cupcake- chomper Neelam (Shefali Shah), his tediously old- fashioned expectations from kids Ayesha and Kabir (Priyanka Chopra, Ranveer Singh) or his relationship of convenience around his equally catty tycoon friends. A self-made billionaire, he's still in touch with his middle-class values when it comes to matters of the money. Footing in a large bill every single day for a group he requested to come along on a scenic Mediterranean cruise to celebrate his 30th wedding anniversary, Kamal Mehra (Anil Kapoor) feels the pinch of keeping appearances.

When a man has labored life long to project enviable luxury, it's essential that he appears to relish it with his family and flaunt it among his friends.
