This week on 'Has It Aged Well?' in keeping with the Raksha Bandhan flavour we're talking about a film that has one of the best depictions of a brother-sister relationship in Hindi cinema: Dil Dhadakne Do from 2015 directed by Zoya AKhtar, starring Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra, Farhan Akhtar, Anil Kapoor, and Shefali Shah amongst a host of fabulous supporting actors. Joining Abbas and Urjita for this episode is stylist and content creator Mariyam Hussain.
Topics discussed include: the "first world problem" accusations against Zoya's films and why they might be slightly misplaced, how well the device of having a dog as a narrator works, how the feminist messaging of the film was unique and how it holds up, whether this film has actually aged better than ZNMD, and a lot more.
