How to redirect to another view/page if the form is invalid

In the event that the form is not valid, how do I redirect the user to another page?

def dothings(request):
    
    form = dumyForm(request.POST or None)
    
    if form.is_valid():    
        #do 123    
    else:   
      # INSTEAD OF REINITIALIZING THE FORM LIKE THIS, I WANT TO REDIRECT TO ANOTHER PAGE
      form = form = dumyForm()
    
   return render(request,'dummy.html',{})

Try to use this :

def dothings(request):

    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = dumyForm(request.POST or None)

        if form.is_valid():    
            **other_code**
            return redirect('redirect_page_view')

        else:
            return redirect('redirect_page_view')
    else:   
        form = dumyForm()

 context = {'form':form}
 return render(request,'dummy.html',context)

If you're looking to redirect the user to another page, you can use the following line: return HttpResponseRedirect('page/'), where 'page' is the URL of your other page.
