For all the male-led road-trip films seen on screen, it was about time Bollywood depicted women having a trip of a lifetime. The wish has been fulfilled with Taapsee Pannu’s upcoming production, Dhak Dhak, which stars Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanjana Sanghi. Sanghi says that the early stages of prep indicated that this would be an empowering project. She laughs, “Every day, I would think, ‘I have learnt to ride an Enfield. Is this real?’”
