No Male Characters In Taapsee Pannu’s Dhak Dhak

Taapsee Pannu in the role of  a producer seems determined to  cross borderlines. Her first production Blurr casts  her in the double role  of  a blind woman and her twin sister.

Now in her second sojourn as a producer with the ironically erotic title of  Dhak Dhak, Taapsee  plays just  producer. On screen we will see four feisty women belonging to different generations taking  off  on a mo’bike trip all on their own.

The  four protagonists  are  played by the  stupendous   Ratna Pathak Shah, the neglected Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh(fresh from her triumph in Shonali Bose’s  Raat Rani in the Amazon anthology Modern Love) , and Sushant Singh Rajput’s  last co-star  Sanjana Sanghi.

The fact that  Taapsee  is  not  starring in Dhak Dhak is  not  as  unusual as  the fact   the  film has no male characters. It will be just the four  women and their killer machines. This will be the first major Indian film with no male characters
