Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2 Struggles At Box Office, Stands At Rs 15 Crore
Dhadak 2 was unable to capitalise on the Tuesday discount offer, earning only Rs 1.5 crore net.
Dhadak 2, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is facing a tough fight at the box office. Despite earning excellent reviews, the love drama has struggled to reach a larger audience. After a modest start, the movie experienced a little increase over the weekend but has been struggling to maintain pace on the weekdays.
As per Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 grossed Rs 1 crore on its sixth day of release and could not enhance its performance on the first Wednesday. The film was unable to capitalise on the Tuesday discount offer, earning only Rs 1.50 crore net. Tuesday's numbers were expected to increase significantly due to the Rs 99 ticket deal handed out by numerous big theatres throughout the country. However, the jump was minor.
Dhadak 2 Struggles On Its First Week
The film opened with Rs 3.50 crore on Day 1, earning Rs 3.75 crore on Day 2 and Rs 4 crore on Sunday, bringing its first weekend total to Rs 11 crore. According to reports, one of the primary reasons for Dhadak 2's poor performance is its ineffective marketing and promotional plan. Furthermore, the film has faced severe competition at the box office from Mahavatar Narsimha, Saiyaara and Son of Sardaar 2, all of which have diverted public attention away from the love drama.
Dhadak 2 — Storyline And Cast
Dhadak 2 follows Neelesh (Siddhant Chaturvedi), a lower-caste law student, and Vidhi (Triptii Dimri), an upper-caste girl, whose inter-caste love story is faced with societal hostility and discrimination. The film explores caste politics, injustice, and the difficulties that people experience when navigating traditional conventions.
It is a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. Apart from Siddhant and Triptii, the film also stars Zakir Hussain, Saurabh Sachdeva, Deeksha Joshi and Vipin Sharma in key parts. The film was meant to be released in November 2024, but it was repeatedly delayed, purportedly due to complications with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Siddhant Chaturvedi will next appear in the love drama Dil Ka Darwaza Khol Na Darling, which stars Wamiqa Gabbi. Triptii Dimri will appear alongside Shahid Kapoor in Vishal Bhardwaj's upcoming untitled action thriller.

Saiyaara has worked its magic not just at the box office but also in the hearts of audiences. Mohit Suri's romantic drama has emerged as one of the year's biggest blockbusters, catapulting Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda to overnight stardom. The team recently reunited in Mumbai to celebrate the film's roaring success, and a video from the bash has now surfaced online. Inside Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda and Mohit Suri's success bash for Saiyaara. Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda and Mohit Suri at Saiyaara success bash In the clip, Ahaan kept it casual in a black T-shirt and matching trousers, layered with a blue shirt. Aneet stunned in a chic white sleeveless dress, while Mohit Suri opted for a black shirt paired with blue jeans. The trio, along with other team members, were seen grooving to Animal's hit track Arjan Vailly before cutting a chocolate cake. At one point, Ahaan and Aneet were spotted leaning in for a quiet conversation, with Ahaan seemingly unable to take his eyes off her as she enjoyed the celebrations. Reddit users couldn't stop gushing over the pair's chemistry. One comment read, 'Well deserved. Hope they carry on the success in the future too, especially Aneet.' Another fan wrote, 'Perfect song. Super cute they are looking… touchwood.' Others chimed in with remarks like, 'They look cute together,' and 'I would honestly be happy if they end up together forever.' Adding to the buzz, Ahaan and Aneet were spotted leaving the party together in a car. Aneet also accompanied Ahaan to visit his cousin Ananya Panday for Raksha Bandhan. While sitting in the car, Ahaan was approached by a fan and happily posed for a selfie, as captured by paparazzi. About Saiyaara Directed by Mohit Suri, the romantic drama tells the story of troubled musician Krrish Kapoor (Ahaan) and aspiring journalist-poet Vaani Batra (Aneet). Krrish transforms the poems in Vaani's diary into songs, making her his lyricist. As they collaborate, love blossoms, only for fate to pull them apart. The film earned praise for its emotional depth, compelling performances, and memorable music. Saiyaara is now the second highest-grossing film of 2025 after Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. It has amassed over ₹500 crore worldwide, including ₹315 crore in India, and has officially become the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema history.
