“That Thing Called Tadhana” was one of the official entries of the 10th Cinema One Originals Film Festival and it ran only in selected theaters in Metro Manila last November 2014 to rave reviews from critics and very positive feedback from fans. The movie was written and directed by director Antoinette Jadaone who also directed 2014’s “Beauty In A Bottle” and “Relaks, It’s Just Pag-ibig”.
That Thing Called Tadhana is a romantic comedy film that stars two of ABS-CBN’s most talented and accomplished young stars, Angelica Panganiban and JM De Guzman. This will be the first time that these two stars work together so when Angelica Panganiban was asked about her reaction when told that she’ll be filming with JM De Guzman, her response was “Ah talaga … wala na bang iba?” It was an honest humor reaction. While when JM was asked about his reaction working with Angelica, he exclaimed that “hindi naalis ang kaba… na startstruck… may kaunting intimidation.”
In the movie it has effectively and successfully injected an unmistakably Pinoy flavor to the age-old question that has been asked by countless hapless lovers throughout the age… where do broken hearts go?
In the case of That Thing Called Tadhana, two broken-hearted individuals Mace (Panganiban) and Anthony (De Guzman) unexpectedly meet in an airport in Europe and they develop an unlikely kinship that will lead them to an unforgettable sojourn to Northern Philippines. Together, Mace and Anthony will explore Manila, Baguio, and Sagad where they will discover if their friendship can transcend to the next level to mend each other’s broken hearts.
That Thing Called Tadhana has the chemistry, the mixture of romance and comedy laced with realistic, down-to-earth, and relatable dialogue. Angelica and JM delivers superb performances as they ignite and aroused the sensibilities of every moviegoer. And because of Angelica Panganiban’s portrayal of Mace she was awarded Best Actress by GAWAD Tanglaw which is by the way an academe-based group that honors the most exceptional achievements in local filmmaking. It should also be noted that Angelica also bagged the Best Actress trophy in the 2014 Cinema One Originals film Festival. Watch and discover whether Mace and Antohony will find what they are looking for and if they could truly heal their broken hearts in this brilliant romantic-comedy that everyone should not fail to miss.
That Thing Called Tadhana is distributed by Star Cinema and it hits Cinemas nationwide starting February 4. It’s not too early to drag your husbands or boyfriends to watch this movie.
