'Dhadak 2' OTT release: Here's when and where you can watch the Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri starrer
, featuring
Siddhant Chaturvedi
and Triptii Dimri, hit theatres on August 1, 2025. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film serves as both a remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil drama
Pariyerum Perumal
(2018) and a spiritual follow-up to the 2018 hit
Dhadak
. Despite clashing with other big releases like
Saiyaara
and
Son of Sardaar 2
, it managed to get great reviews and positive word of mouth.
Though, the box office prowess of the film was obviously limited. It has made around Rs 17 crore at the box office after finishing 8 days. Meanwhile, it's 'Mahavtar Narsimha' and 'Saiyaara' which are giving the film a tough competition in theatres at the moment.
For those waiting to stream it at home, Netflix has been confirmed as the film's official OTT platform. While an exact date hasn't been announced by either the makers or Netflix, industry patterns point to a release around six to eight weeks after its theatrical run. This means
Dhadak 2
will likely arrive on Netflix sometime between September 12 and September 26, 2025.
The story follows Neelesh Ahirwar, a law student from a marginalised community played by Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Vidhi Bharadwaj, portrayed by Triptii Dimri, who belongs to an affluent upper-class family. Their love blossoms during college but faces staunch opposition, particularly from Vidhi's family, who 'look down upon Neelesh due to his caste.' Moving beyond the framework of a typical romance, the film delves into the harsh realities of caste-based prejudice, portraying the emotional and social battles that come with breaking entrenched societal barriers.

Vipin Sharma On Playing Cross-Dressing Father In Dhadak 2: ‘Taare Zameen Par Ke Baad Bohot Galiyan…'
Last Updated: Vipin Sharma opens up about facing criticism after Taare Zameen Par and how playing a cross-dressing father in Dhadak 2 helped him redeem himself. In a career spanning almost two decades, Vipin Sharma has been a part of several movies, but his character in Aamir Khan's Taare Zameen Par as an arrogant dad is one of the most iconic and remembered. Now, as he yet again plays a dad in Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer Dhadak 2, the actor, in conversation with us at News18, revealed how he faced problems playing an arrogant dad and wanted to redeem himself with this film. When asked if he had any hesitation playing a cross-dressing dad, the actor shared, 'I think the whole idea of this role was very beautiful to me. Also, Taare Zameen Par ke baad bohot galiyan padhi thi. I wanted to redeem myself and share that there is a heart inside every father." Further, when we spoke to him about facing something close to trolling for his role in the Aamir Khan starrer, he revealed an incident when an assistant director told a filmmaker that Vipin Sharma is very arrogant without even meeting him. When Vipin confronted the AD, he revealed that he has that image because of his role in Taare Zameen Par. Vipin Sharma had the wish to play a female character, and Monkey Man helped him fulfill that wish. When asked how this one was special to him, Sharma revealed, 'Monkey Man definitely was the first one that made my dream come true — to make me wear a saree and see how graceful it is. Trust me, it is the most graceful attire in the entire world." 'I have realized that dressing up as a girl has brought something, something deep inside me has shifted; it just allowed me to see a different part of me," he added, and continued that while getting ready for his character in this one he had a major realization and stated, 'When I first saw myself in a saree, I realized that I actually look like my mom, and I had never realized that before. I always thought that I looked like my father, but it was the first time I realized I looked like my mom." Dhadak 2 starred Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi as the main leads, and when we questioned him about the two young talents, he shared, 'They are beautiful people. They both are very nice, and I don't know what happened to me—I was telling Triptii that I was getting a rage of emotions watching her on screen." Dhadak 2 follows a law student who falls in love with a classmate, only to face abuse from her family due to caste inequalities. It has been praised for its sensitive portrayal of casteism. Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures, Dhadak 2 was initially slated for release in November last year but faced multiple delays, reportedly due to issues with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2018 release Dhadak. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Lokesh Kanagaraj shares heartfelt tributes as ‘Coolie' nears release
Tamil cinema's blockbuster maker Lokesh Kanagaraj is taking a rare pause from the frenzy of filmmaking to spotlight the people behind his upcoming epic Coolie. In an emotional social media post, the director shared a photo with action choreographers Anbariv, calling them his 'pillars' and expressing lifelong gratitude. 'They've always wished to see me where I am right now… excited to see you step up as Directors! Love you forever and ever, Masters/Annas,' he wrote. The acknowledgment comes as Anbariv—famed for their high-octane stunt work in Vikram, Kaithi, and Master—transition into directing. In Tamil cinema, stunt masters rarely make the leap to helming films, making Lokesh's public endorsement both a gesture of friendship and an industry milestone. In another tribute, Lokesh praised his Coolie cinematographer, National Award winner Girish Gangadharan, noting that since their first collaboration, he has 'not only captured my journey through the lens but also been a part of building it.' Girish, known for turning chaos into visual poetry in Jallikkattu, is expected to bring a gritty yet polished aesthetic to Coolie. Slated for release on August 14, 2025, Coolie marks Rajinikanth's 171st lead role and reportedly commands a ₹150 crore fee for the superstar. The film's Independence Day weekend debut positions it as both a commercial juggernaut and a cultural event. Behind-the-scenes glimpses, possibly from Chennai's bustling port-side sets, suggest a socially charged narrative centered on a man's fight against a corrupt syndicate—rumored to parallel real-world labor exploitation in South Asian ports. With gratitude posts, crew camaraderie, and hints of political undercurrents, Lokesh Kanagaraj isn't just hyping Coolie—he's celebrating the family of collaborators helping him craft what could be his most impactful work yet.
