'Dhad Dhad' film review - a film by Hemanth Hegde

Krishna Mohan and Durga Shetty in film Dhad Dhad

Dhad Dhad sounds like a door knock or may be the sound of heartbeat. But is the sound of silence says director Hemanth Hegde. Film Dhad Dhad maintains suspense till end. It's surely a suspense film without any nail biting thriller scenes. Film has been picturised in the Malnad region Sirsi.

Main characters of the film are hero Suresh (Krishna Mohan), his friend Dodda (Raju Anantha Swamy), heroine Nayana (Durga Shetty), her father Ramaiah Hegde (Avinash), his wife (Chitra Shenoi), his mother (Bhargavi Narayan), his sister Sharadha (Manjubhashini) and servant (Mandya Ramesh). Film starts from a city and soon enters a village in Sirsi. Suresh comes to that village with his friend Dodda for his project. He stays at Ramaiah Hegde's house who does not have good rapo in the village. Suresh falls in live with his daughter Nayana. Till then film looks like a regular film. Chilling part starts only after the murder of Hegde's sister Sharadha. From there onwards starts a series of murders one after the other of the same family and the search of the murderer begins. Who is the Murderer? No one can guess till the end. Viewers will suspect every character of the film.

Avinash shines in his role. Durga Shetty and Krishna Mohan are okay. Music by Madhukar is good. Cinematography by Surendranath Begur has helped to build the suspense and curiosity. Raju Anantha Swamy makes you to laugh through out the film. Mandya Ramesh's contribution should also be considered to create comic mood.
