8 Years Of Dil Dhadakne Do: Here Is Why Costumes Were The Real Hero In Zoya Akhtar Directorial

Zoya Akhtar's 2015 film, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ is clearly making its way to becoming one of the chicest and most stylish movies the decade has seen. The larger than life family drama highlights the life of luxury show cases with cruises, rich and reckless characters and a very comic and light hearted treatment of the storyline. It also had dinner jackets, suave brogues and apart from the pretty ladies in the stellar cast boasted of having two of B-town’s most svelte and stylish men. The movie revolves around the lives of high society socialites as they head out on a cruise to pacify themselves with the mirage of a happy life until they face reality with self realisation. But what stands out in the production is the fashion.

Role Of Characters In Bringing Out The Fashion Courtesy Stylist Arjun Bhasin

The characters’ OOTDs significantly added to giving definitions to the exotic holiday destinations, plot and cinematography. With the film’s screen time rolling ahead, it was the characters’ clothing that not only defined them but also works as a pivotal signifier of their changing personas. All this can be credited to the stylist on board for the project, Arjun Bhasin. It was him who was in charge of styling and looks of the lead actors in the production.

We now decode the sartorial game of the two leading ladies from the flick to help you find your vibe and maybe style your outfits similarly.

‘Ayesha Mehra’ played by Priyanka Chopra, the successful and under-appreciated daughter of the ‘Mehras’ had one signature OOTD - the striped blue top with a pair of palazzo style trousers and a white button down shirt. This became synonymous with the character who oozed sensuality in chic and comfortable dresses bearing her shoulders, flaring gowns and cozy pajama style pants that brought out her character of a youthful mature lady. The one sartorial take away for the movie goers post the movie was that palazzos were the new cool skinny jeans.

Anushka Sharma’s ‘Farah Ali’ Goes The Bohemian and Athleisure Way

‘Farah Ali’ was a character that had a significant impact on the audiences with her portrayal of the feminist outsider to the high society folks in the movie. Farah’s sense of fashion is an interesting mix of bohemian and athleisure picks that mirrored her free spirit. The athleisure added an edge to her to her profile as a dancer. Draped in flowy silhouettes detailed with fringes, lots of bracelets as accessories, layered jewellery and simple carefree OOTDs became the definition of Anushka’s character.
