Dhadak 2 Begins Its Run With 18,000 Tickets Sold At Leading Multiplexes
The much-talked-about romantic drama Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, has finally been released in theatres today. Despite releasing with a controlled rollout on approximately 1,000 screens, Dhadak 2 is showing promising early signs. Some cities are filling up really quickly, and others are said to have completely sold out tickets.
Cities like Chennai have reported near sold-out shows even before the official release, with many theatres reporting full occupancy. Theatres in Kolkata and Jaipur are also witnessing a steady surge in advance bookings. The buzz around its powerful music, hard-hitting dialogue promos, and storyline has led to strong pre-release anticipation.
Dhadak 2 Pre-Sales
Backed by Dharma Productions, Zed Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, Dhadak 2 has already sold 18,000 tickets across leading national cinema chains—PVR Inox and Cinepolis—for its opening day, according to a report by Pinkvilla.
Dhadak 2's controlled release strategy
The makers have opted for a strategic limited release, primarily targeting urban and metro centres. Depending on audience response, more shows could be added in the coming days. The film's success relies heavily on word-of-mouth and initial response.
Dhadak 2's Plot, Cast, and Crew
Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the romantic drama dives deep into themes of caste discrimination, love, and social resistance, offering a raw and emotionally charged cinematic experience. A spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak, this version is a remake of the acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. Alongside the lead pair, the film also features Zakir Hussain and Saurabh Sachdeva in pivotal roles.
Dhadak 2 Box Office Clash
Dhadak 2 is clashing alongside Vijay Kumar Arora's Son of Sardaar 2. The action comedy features a star-studded ensemble including Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Vindu Dara Singh, Dolly Ahluwalia, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Sharat Saxena, Sahil Mehta, and debutant Roshni Walia.
It will also lock horns with other holdover films like Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha, making for a competitive weekend at the box office. With each film catering to distinct demographics, it remains to be seen which movie dominates the box office.

Want to work but people hesitant to cast after cancer diagnosis: Hina Khan
Mumbai, Aug 10 (PTI) A year after Indian TV star Hina Khan announced her breast cancer diagnosis, she says she can sense that people from the industry are still hesitant to work with her. The actor said work took a backseat after she fell ill and she had to leave a lot of offers. She is now back on the small screen with 'Pati Patni Aur Panga". 'This is my first project after the whole thing (breast cancer diagnosis) happened. I want to work. No one has directly said to me that, 'You've still not recovered completely', but I can sense that maybe people are hesitant (to work with me) for all the right reasons. 'It's okay. I'll have to break that norm. Maybe the show will do it, I understand it. Had I been in their place, I would've thought about it a thousand times. I'm open to auditions, where did I stop? No one has called me for the last one year, for all the reasons. I'm open to everything, please call me," Khan told PTI in an interview. The 37-year-old actor, known for shows such as 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai", 'Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2", 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 8" and 'Bigg Boss 11", said she feels glad to have made a comeback to work with her ongoing reality show, which is currently on air on Colors Channel. The show features fan-favourite celebrity couples including Hina Khan-Rocky Jaiswal, Debinna Bonnerjee-Gurmeet Choudhary, Rubina Dilaik-Abhinav Shukla, Avika Gor-Milind Chandwani, Swara Bhasker-Fahad Ahmad, Geeta Phogat-Pawan Kumar, and Sudesh Lehri-Mamta Lehri. 'It was a big step for me to take up the show and it was an experiment as far as my health is concerned, like whether I'll be able to do it or not. So far so good, I get tired a bit, but apart from that, everything is fine. I'm ready to take up anything, be it a digital show, or anything, I would not take up long term commitment. If anything is offered (in films), if they find me worthy enough, then why not," Khan said. The actor said she is keen to play a spy agent. 'I want to be part of the spy universe, be it in OTT or in films. I was watching a show, 'Special Ops', I so wanted to play a spy, manifesting it," Khan said.

Ayushmann Khurrana And Sharvari To Star In Sooraj Barjatya's Next, Shooting Underway In Mumbai
Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya says his next film is with Ayushmann Khurrana, who he described as a 'dedicated and fine' actor. Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya says his next film is with Ayushmann Khurrana, who he described as a 'dedicated and fine" actor. 'We're shooting the film with them (Ayushmann and Sharvari) in Mumbai, it's a story set in Mumbai. He is a dedicated and fine actor. It's all about getting the right story, and making it look real and making it with the right cast. Besides them, we've more people in the cast, like how we've it in all my films," Barjatya told PTI in an interview. The director has often teamed up with superstar Salman Khan in most of his films including his debut, 'Maine Pyaar Kiya", 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun", 'Hum Saath Saath Hain", and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" – all of them blockbuster hits. He has also directed 'Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon", 'Vivaah", and 'Uunchai". Barjatya said he is a bit 'nervous" as the shooting for the film approaches. 'I've this nervousness before the shoot of every film. This has been there even when I made my first film, 'Maine Pyaar Kiya', it's (nervousness) still the same. As a creator, it's not about how much box office (numbers) it will do, it's about whether you're able to connect or not, with that thought or scene." 'For me, whether it's a film or a show, everyone should feel that the world that I'm creating is honest, it shouldn't look fake, like everyone should feel that this is how my house is. That is my biggest challenge. I want to make what I know, it's important to make every kind of film, but it's important to make family films," the 61-year-old director said. Media reports suggest that the upcoming film, a family drama, will see Khurrana take on the iconic role of Prem that Salman used to portray in Barjatya's films.
