“What Challenges Could Four Women Face While Cycling to Khardung La?”

Taapsee Pannu has presented a fresh narrative around female friends taking a road trip together with Dhak Dhak. The makers unveiled the trailer of the film today. Dhak Dhak has an ensemble cast of Ratna Pathak Shah, Dia Mirza, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanjana Sanghi. The trailer introduces us to four ordinary women, who come together for an extraordinary journey to the highest motor-able road in the world. Ratna Pathak plays Mahi or Biker Nani, who expresses her desire to visit Khardung La to Sky (Fatima Sana Shaikh), a travel vlogger. In a struggle to get their bike fixed, they encounter a housewife Uzma (Dia Mirza), who has been introduced as a “jugaadu mechanic.” Next to join their group is a young Manjari (Sanjana Sanghi), who is a first-time solo traveller. They embark on a life-changing trip to Leh’s Khardung La, the world’s highest motorable pass. The journey helps the group rediscover themselves. But, will this female biker group survive the numerous obstacles and reach their destination? We will have to wait till October 13.
