Dhabkaaro trailer
The trailer takes you deeper into the journey of a man, played by Deven Bhojani, who is trying to change his life while dealing with his past. Deven Bhojani is introduced as a wealthy Casanova who enjoys partying and indulging in luxuries. When he learns he has little time left due to a heart issue, he embarks on a trip to fix his past mistakes by searching for his estranged sister Urmila. Through flashbacks, it is revealed that he was opposed to his sister`s marriage and might have harmed her or her husband.
Along the way, Aarjav Trivedi brings warmth and hope, becoming a positive presence in his journey. With moments that feel real and heartfelt, the story unfolds in an honest way. Staying true to Abhishek Shah’s style, the film feels rooted, relatable, and explores human emotions and the idea of change.
Speaking about his character, Deven Bhojani shared, “In Dhabkaaro, I almost play a dual personality. There are so many layers to the character, he’s good, he’s bad, and he’s also ugly. He’s unethical, immoral, shameless, lewd, but he also is polite, humble, guilty, loving and caring. His contrasting characteristics across situations and timeframes are what make the journey so compelling.”
Sharing his vision, director Abhishek Shah said, “With Dhabkaaro, I want the audience to feel that no one is beyond change. At its core, the film is about the human heartbeat, not just as a physical pulse, but as a symbol of conscience, guilt, love, and redemption.”
