Why should men make the rules? This question forms the core of Dhak Dhak. But much like the women in the film, first-time director Tarun Dudeja had a long road to this realisation. Along with writer Parijat Joshi, he had initially begun with the idea of making a movie about a woman, who takes a trip to Khardung La to realise her late father’s unfulfilled wish. “Over time, we realised this premise was wrong. Why should a man have to do anything with a woman’s decision to do something? The agency should come from within,” emphasises Dudeja. And from there was born the Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanjana Sanghi-starrer that tells the story of four women, whose road trip becomes a journey of self-discovery.
