A young couple, madly in love, gets separated when the girl's elder brother, already accused in a murder case, kills the boy. The boy's family, notably his younger brother, takes the girl's family to court to fight for justice. It touches upon several issues such as politician-police nexus, honour killings and corruption. The intention to make this film was good; however, the execution fails on several counts. Actors such as Rohit Bakhshi and Ashwini Kalsekar have done a good job. Adhyayan Suman is a let-down despite having a powerful role. Rati Agnihotri's character is supposed to be disoriented, but she seems disinterested. There are a handful number of decent scenes in the film, in particular, the courtroom drama. However, in entirety, the film is a let-down and should be avoided. Anshul Sharma (Rohit Bakhshi) proposes marriage to Priti Thakur (Ragini Nandwani), an infamous politician's daughter. Anshul, his parents, and his brother Aakash (Adhyayan Suman) are eager to have Priti enter their home as a newly-wed bride. However, Priti's father and her goony brother, Vishesh Thakur (Vishal Bhonsle) disapprove of the boy. Vishesh ends up killing Anshul, leaving everybody else shocked and in disarray. A courtroom drama ensues. After a few hits and misses, witnesses turning hostile, tampering of evidence, and the backing out of the lawyer, enters the fiery Advocate Dipali (Ashwini Kalsekar). The courtroom scenes were pulled of quite well. However, there is the unnecessary music and the frequent hamming by the cast members. There are awful films made in the industry, but this one did have potential. The first-half was bearable, but the second half totally gets on to your nerves. The heroine of the film had a bad role, and her acting was even worse. Adhyayan should look for another profession. He does put in good effort, but the results are just not satisfactory. 'Dehraadun Diary' is not a film I would recommend. Watch out for the actors, Rohit Bakhshi and Ashwini Kalsekar, albeit in other films!

Starring Adhyayan Suman, Rohit Bakshi and Ragini Nandwani Director Milind Ukey has tried the same concept which the viewers have already seen thousands of times. A fight between a common man and a corrupt system is not a new concept in Bollywood.
The movie Dehraadun Diary is a story of superrich and powerful persons crushing the common man with power and the backup of the system. Preeti (Ragini Nandwani), daughter of the Thakurs who have incredibly sound political power, gets into a relationship with Anshul Sharma (Rohit Bakshi) son of a retired IAS officer. Preeti's 'honourable' family strongly disapproves the marriage due to their status and power while Anshul's parents bless them for their marriage. Preeti's shot tempered brother Vishesh (Vishal Bhonsle) gets outraged when he spots the two in a wedding. Later the lad is Anshul is brutally killed. Here enters Anshul's brother Akash (Adhyayan Suman) who sacrifices his future just for the sake of justice for his brother's murder. Apparently, as the case moves on the story gets more boring as the witnesses gets more hostile and once appear and disappear which a viewer won't like at all.
Adhyayan Suman needs to learn a lot to survive in this industry while the debutant actress Ragini has been found nervous and din't performed well as if a lead actress should do.
In short this movie Dehraadun Diary is like a diary which should be untouched.
Star Cast: Adhyayan Suman, Rohit Bakshi, Ragini Nandwani, Rati Agnihotri, Vishal Bhonsle, Ashwini Kaleskar.

1.5/5Dehraadun Diary is simply unreadable! - 07 Jan 2013
Some real life incidents inspire good movies, whilst others only make it seem worse. Dehraadun Diary which seems to be inspired by Nitish Katara murder case can be adjudged on similar parameters. Even with the inclusion of all elements like hostile witnesses, candlelight vigils, politicos driving the system, impending justice and finally good winning over evil; the flick fails to infuse and inspire.
Preeti enacted by Ragini Nandwani, is the daughter of the Thakurs who enjoy rich political prominence with strong connections and power. Preeti falls in love with Anshul Sharma (Rohit Bakshi). Anshul hails from a family of retired IAS officer. While the boy's family happily accepts the pair, the young couple remains completely unaware of the political realities that the girl's family hold close.
The plot takes a predictable turn as Preeti and Anshul are spotted by Preeti's brother Vishesh Thakur (Vishal Bhonsle) and the girl's short tempered brother, along with his cousin, ends up brutally murdering Anshul. What follows is the fight for justice undertaken by Anshul's brother Akash (Adhyayan Suman) and his mother (Rati Agnihotri).
Milind Ukey's direction could have been improvised so as to cast a stronger impact. While the romantic part of the screenplay mostly revolved around the scenic backdrops in Dehradun, the rest of the movie contained repetitive shots and overtly used dialogues.
The plot revolves around the stereotypical fight between politicos and common man. Aseem Arora's screenplay does not leave much for the imagination of the audience. While the script has a different case in the backdrop, the same elements come to the fore making the flick boring and non-realistic. What happened in the case is a fact known to all but the story could have been twisted to a much stronger version for the celluloid experience. For instance, the flick shows the victim's family fighting for justice for eight long years. While that might have taken place in reality, the film could have depicted Anshul's family in a much better place.
The script was clearly not thought through or rectified in the final stages. For scenes like a college couple in love, the lead actress Ragini Nandwani, is almost always shown fully decked up in suits and saris which further makes it difficult for the audience to connect. Similarly, the crucial evidences that could have been used to establish a romantic relationship between Preeti and Anshul as the case unfolded are not used initially.
As for the performances, Ragini Nandwini gives an average performance for the role of a lead actress. Rohit Bakshi does just about fine for the screen time allotted to him. Adhyayan Suman does not deliver an effortless performance. Though Suman has brushed up his acting skills as compared to his past movies starting Haal-e-dil in 2008, he seems fit for the supporting cast. Rati Agnihotri easily manages to shine amongst the star cast. Her role as the mother of Anshul Sharma is strong, positive and easy to relate to.
The background score by Hanif Sheikh does not contribute much to uplift the script. The film does not have many songs. While Nishan in Kavita Seth's voice is a nicely composed number, others like O Piya, Rubaru and Dehraadun Diary theme song; do not have much to talk about. The lyrics are fine but the music is not soulful.
For the final verdict, if you have had a chance to watch No One Killed Jessica, you should know how a real incident based movie looks like. So, avoid this one!

Release: 4 January 2013
Dehraadun Diary is another offering by Bollywood that deals with the widespread issue of corruption. Most movies dealing with realistic themes are usually pushed to the ongoing film festivals, collect awards and disappear from public memory even before they enter it. But the trend is changing now, these films are getting their due and this is also true for certain small-budget movies, hence this movie might just be a big hit or maybe not but for now let us see how the album fares.
| Track | Singer(s) | Rating |
| Dehraadun Diary | Ripul Sharma | Rating:   |
| Rubaru | Jafery Iqbal | Rating: |
| Nishan | Kavita Seth | Rating: |
| O Piya | Javed Ali | Rating: |
Album Analysis:
1. Dehradun Diary: This is fast paced song with some rock influences and will probably go well as the theme of the song and not just one title track per say. I like the background music on its own than with the vocals and even though the song is for a little over two minutes it does not seem extremely short ,maybe an additional 20 seconds or so would also be nice.
2. Rubaru: This one is sweet and pleasantly hummable. It has classical or maybe Hindustani feel to it. A romantic track, it does a pretty nice job in setting the mood. Not the best romantic track around but will grow on the listeners especially after the picturization. Jafery Iqbal's voice is quite pleasant and helps set the mood.
3. Nishan: Now Kavita Saith's voice is nothing you will expect! Raw and powerful, her voice alone will compel you to listen to the sing because it sounds so'.interesting, somewhat reminiscent of Shubha Mudgal. Coming to the song it is quite melodious and does grab your attention. Not a very fast paced song but does take you along its journey.
4. O Piya: I like Javed Ali's voice but other than that I'm not a big fan of this song. It does have some good feel to it and all but is not something different or unique that will grab people's attention immediately.
Music is one of the most integral aspects of a Bollywood movie and rightly so, since they help set the mood and tone of the movie, sometimes even helping box office performances. The songs of Dehradun Diary are pleasant enough and some may even grow on you fully but it is not one of those albums that instantly grab you and hold in your attention, but it does have some promise. So do check it out, who knows it may make an impact!
Picks of the album: Dehraadun Diary, Rubaru, Nishan
Verdict: Nott amazing but does have promise!

Based on honour killings in North India, Dehraadun Dairy portrays the sordid saga of a family's fight to seek justice for their son, who has been brutally murdered by a politician's son. The film is inspired by the real-life incident of the gruesome Nitish Katara murder case.
Anshul Sharma (Rohit Bakhshi) is in love with Priti Thakur (Ragini Nandwani) from his college and they plan to get married. While Sharma's parents approve of the relationship, there is staunch opposition from the Thakurs. At a friend's wedding reception, Priti's brother Vishesh Thakur (Vishal Bhonsle), on the pretext of having a word with Anshul, takes him out on a drive and murders him with the help of his cousin and a friend. Following this, the Sharmas, Anshul's brother Akash Sharma (Adhyayan Suman) and Neelima Sharma (Rati Agnihotri) lodge a police complaint against the Thakurs.
The story of the film, written by Aseem Arora, is good but there are loopholes as well. For instance, in the eight-year process to seek justice, why is crucial evidence like the greeting cards and love letters written by the young woman, not presented during the murder trial initially? Also, the way the story proceeds gives you a sense of dj vu, from several films based on social-pilitical drama. Cinematography by Devendra Golatkar is monotonous. The introductory scenes are mundane, comprising routine scenes of the city Dehradun. The background score is decent and there are not many songs in the
film.
Performance-wise, Adhyayan Suman is good. He plays his part with ease.Rohit Bakhshi doesn't have much screen time and delivers an average performance. Ragini Nandwani, who debuts with this film, justifies her character. Rati Agnihotri, Neelima Azim and Vishal Bhonsle are apt.
Verdict: Disaster
