The story revolves around the wealthy Mehra family, who invite friends and relatives on a 10-day Mediterranean cruise to celebrate the parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. What follows is a series of emotional confrontations, humorous moments, and heartfelt revelations as the dysfunctional family confronts their personal and collective issues. Farhan Akhtar portrayed Sunny Gill, the progressive journalist and former lover of Ayesha Mehra, played by Priyanka Chopra. Their chemistry and storyline struck a chord with many, especially for its depiction of gender roles and independence.

Veteran actor Anil Kapoor, who played Kamal Mehra, also commemorated the milestone. Sharing behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, he wrote: “Can’t believe it’s been 10 years of Dil Dhadakne Do — a film that only gets younger while making our hearts beat louder every time.” Interestingly, Zoya Akhtar originally envisioned the story as a nuanced sibling drama focusing on the bond between a brother and sister. She wanted to steer away from over-the-top portrayals and instead depict a more relatable family dynamic. She collaborated with writer-director Reema Kagti on the screenplay, while Farhan Akhtar penned the dialogues. Dil Dhadakne Do Clocks 9: Farhan Akhtar Shares BTS Video From Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra's Film Celebrate The Occasion - WATCH
