After Ranbir's date issues were apparent, Akhtar approached Ranveer Singh to play the role of the brother opposite Kareena with Katrina as his love interest.[7] Kareena had decided to turn down the offer as she was keen to work with cousin Ranbir.[8] In June 2013 it was rumoured Priyanka Chopra will be replacing Kareena as Ranveer's sister and in October 2013 it was confirmed.[9][10] Also announced was Anushka Sharma as Ranveer's love interest and Anil Kapoor in a pivotal role. After featuring in Zoya's Luck By Chance and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, brother Farhan Akhtar was confirmed to play a role in the film.[11] Actors Madhuri Dixit, Tabu and Raveena Tandon were all considered for the role of Ranveer's and Priyanka's mother on screen until Shefali Shah was confirmed.[12]

Critical reception
Taran Adarsh gave the film a positive review, particularly praising Akthar's direction, and said, "Very few directors can tackle relationships with such sensitivity as Zoya Akhtar. Zoya juxtaposes humour, drama and emotions with élan. Every actor is splendid...but the ones who shine the brightest are Anil Kapoor, Priyanka, Ranveer and Shefali." In a 4 star review for Mumbai Mirror, critic Kunal Guha compared Akhtar's direction to that of Woody Allen and Wes Anderson, and praised Ranveer Singh's performance in it.[18] Conversely, Shilpa Jamkhandikar of Reuters called it "Akhtar's weakest film yet, because she tries to tell too many stories at once and tells none entirely".[19] Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV criticized the film as well, calling it "an overly caramelised and flaky dysfunctional family drama that strives - and fails - to strike a balance between the sly and the syrupy", and gave the film 2.5 stars.[20] Bollywood Hungama scored the film 3.5 stars, particularly praising Akhtar's direction for "[pulling] off such a magnificent film with such utmost ease."[21] Subhash K. Jha also praised the direction, writing that Akhtar proved that she was the "master of dysfunctional selfserving relationships" and gave the film 4 stars.[22] Rohit Vats of Hindustan Times, however, gave the film 2 stars, writing that "there is hardly any takeaway from Dil Dhadakne Do and its characters are not likely to stay with you for long".[23]
Film critic Rajeev Masand of IBNLive, who particularly praised the performances of the lead actors and the humour in the screenplay, concluded that the film is "easy and breezy, and packed with terrific actors who appear to be enjoying themselves", although he did criticize the pacing and climax of the film.[24] Srijana Mitra Das of The Times of India gave the film 4 stars, also praising the performances of the lead actors, especially Singh's, and reviewed, "On this ship, a few bolts could be tighter. But these are fleeting clouds on an otherwise beautiful sea, hosting a cruise...while searching beyond Bollywood's emotional Botox for a family's warts - and its heart."[25] Rachit Gupta of Filmfare described the film as a "spunky comedy, straight from the heart", attributing the performances of the lead actors as the prime reason for the film's success.[26] Shubha Shetty-Saha of Mid-Day gave the film 4 stars, and praised the story, stating, "If this film looks like an entertaining, escapist film at the outset, it is, but it is also much deeper than that", and gave the film 4 stars.[27] Raja Sen of Rediff.com gave the film 3 stars, especially praising the story and the performances of the actor, and said, "Despite its flaws, I find myself looking back at Dil Dhadakne Do and smiling. The heart, it wants what it wants, and that’s all very well".[28]
In a 3 star review, film critic Mayank Shekhar of ABP News found that "patiently drawing out emotions from every character" made the film "horrendously long [and] too languidly paced", although he did call the film ""intensely real, intrinsically adult, with several sharp observations about relationships and life", and gave the film 3 stars.[29] Sarita A. Tanwar of Daily News and Analysis gave the film 2.5 stars, and wrote that the film would have "been a lot of fun [if] had it been shorter, crisper and less indulgent".[30] Scoring the film 3 stars, Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com wrote that Dil Dhadakne Do "unravels like an entire season of soap opera condensed into a nearly three-hour movie" but found it "too facile to rise above the charming fluff".[31] Ritika Bhatia of Business Standard wrote that the film "does have its enjoyable moments, but with a three-hour runtime, it fails to sail the high seas", and termed the film "ambitious" but "meandering".[32]
