In Dil Dhadakne Do, the squabbling Mehras, Soods and Khannas are a surprisingly tepid lot who do a lot of talking without getting to the point.

Their antics make for a dreadfully boring, overlong film that like the ship that it is set on meanders from port to port without exploring the nooks and crannies that really matter.

Dil Dhadakne Do is the story of Kamal Mehra (Anil Kapoor), a self-made man who presides over a successful company, Ayka, named after his two children, Ayesha (Priyanka Chopra) and Kabir (Ranveer Singh).

The philandering patriarch and his independent-spirited daughter are both unhappily married - the former to a bored homemaker Neelam (Shefali Shah) and the latter to a Mumbai businessman Manav Sanga (Rahul Bose).

All of them have huge chips on their shoulders. Ayesha, founder of a thriving travel portal, has no love lost for her narrow-minded hubby.

She also has good reason to feel majorly shortchanged by her parents who not only shower all their attention on their male heir but are also guilty of forcing her to marry against her wish.

Kabir, on his part, has no flair for the corporate world and flying is his "one true love". His world comes crashing down when his dad decides to sell the family plane because it is a dead investment for his debt-ridden business.

Amid the impending crisis, to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, Neelam and Kamal Mehra invite friends and family over for a cruise in the course of which long-suppressed tensions and frustrations tumble forth and ignite unseemly friction.

Kamal is too full of himself to notice that neither his wife nor his son and daughter think much of him.

The same is true of Manav, Ayesha's husband who believes his wife would always be at his beck and call despite the fact that she is an entrepreneur in her own right.

On the ship, Ayesha comes face to face with her first love, Sunny Gill (Farhan Akhtar), the son of her dad's trusted manager, while her drifter-brother falls head over heels for dancer Farah Ali (Anushka Sharma). More complications, more sweet nothings.

Hindi cinema history has seen one big film about "loving your parents". Dil Dhadakne Do is about "hating your parents" and in the process compelling them to change their ways.

Yawn! Dil Dhadakne Do is a snoozefest and a surefire cure for insomnia.
