About film ‘Dhak Dhak’
Dhak Dhak narrates the story of four women who embark on a life-changing journey to the highest motorable pass in the world, Khardung La in Ladakh. The film promises to offer a unique visual experience to the audience with its stunning views and picturesque locations. It is also the first-ever movie unit to undertake a road trip from Delhi to Khardung La. The film’s poster, which was unveiled in May 2022, shows the four leading ladies posing with their bikes against the backdrop of snow-capped mountains. The tagline of the film reads, “Freedom has to be owned, never given”.

We have attempted to give audiences a visual experience that they must have rarely witnessed on screen before. Dhak Dhak narrates the story of four women who realise that freedom has to be owned and never given. Viacom18 Studios has been a crucial part of my journey in the film industry, from Chashme Baddoor, Shabaash Mithu and now to Dhak Dhak. In Viacom18 Studios and Ajit, we have a partner who has a great foresight towards differentiated cinema. I am sure that this ride will be an enriching one”.
