Dhadak 2 Box Office Day 1: Siddhant-Triptii Starrer Opens To Modest Start, Earns Rs 3.65 Cr
According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the sequel to 'Dhadak' earned Rs 3.65 crore on its first day in India.
The film's release clashed with Ajay Devgn's starer 'Son of Sardaar 2.' With two major films hitting theatres on the same day, movie buffs seem to have divided their attention, which could be one reason why the film fell short of expectations.
Adding to the pressure was the continued success of Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara at the box office. The romantic drama, which hit theatres earlier on July 18, is still performing strongly. This seems to have affected the Siddhant and Dimri starrer.
'Dhadak 2' is a follow-up to 2018's 'Dhadak' and a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal.
As per Adarsh, the sequel's first-day numbers are below expectations, especially when compared to its first instalment, 'Dhadak,' which starred Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. The film had earned Rs 8.71 crore on its opening day back then.
All eyes are now on the weekend collections to see if the film can pick up pace.
Helmed by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 explores love while challenging social norms. The film follows Siddhant's character as he navigates a love story that breaks through societal expectations and class barriers.

(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) 'Dhadak 2', the much-anticipated follow-up to the 2018 romantic hit, has now completed its first weekend in theatres. While the film opened with some promise, its Sunday performance showed a dip in momentum. As per early estimates from the Sacnilk website, the film collected Rs 75 lakhs on Day 3, bringing its total India net collection to Rs 8 crore. Reportedly, the movie opened on Friday (August 1) with Rs 3.5 crore, saw a slight uptick on Saturday with Rs 3.75 crore, but the expected Sunday surge didn't materialize. There was a low occupancy of 13.78% across Hindi-speaking regions. This indicates that the film is yet to get good traction from the Hindi audiences. Regional trends and audience footfall; Mixed signals from big cities Among metro regions, Bengaluru showed the highest occupancy at 29%, hinting at relatively better engagement in urban centers. NCR (17%) and Mumbai (16%) followed, while Pune remained lower at 12%. Dhadak 2 | Song - Tu Meri Dhadak Hai Directed by debutant Shazia Iqbal, the film stars Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, supported by Saurabh Sachdeva, Zakir Hussain, and Deeksha Joshi. The chemistry and emotional depth of the lead pair were expected to be 'Dhadak 2's strength, but it appears the film needs more than nostalgia to pull audiences back in. Tripti Dimri's box office journey; climbing slowly but surely With 'Dhadak 2', Tripti Dimri's fourth Hindi film hit theatres, her box office trajectory is gradually taking shape. Her highest grosser so far remains 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' with Rs 260.11 crore, followed by 'Bad Newz' and 'Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video'. 'Dhadak 2', now her fourth-best performer with Rs 7.25 crore, may still grow depending on weekday stability. Meanwhile, the movie is getting mixed reviews from the audiences. An excerpt from ETimes review reads, "The film is an engaging and heart‑rending watch, though the final resolution feels a touch restrained. It is worth watching for its sincere and sensitive portrayal of an issue that continues to plague society even today, and for a stellar performance by Siddhant Chaturvedi. "
