‘Dhadak 2' Movie Review and Release Live Updates: Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's bold love story set to clash with Ajay Devgn's ‘Son of Sardaar 2' in cinemas today
'Dhadak 2' starring Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi has finally arrived in cinemas today. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film is a sequel to the hit film 'Dhadak', which featured Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter. But this time, the story takes a different path. 'Dhadak 2' Plot 'Dhadak 2' is a remake of the powerful Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal'. The film follows Nilesh (played by Siddhant), a law student from an oppressed caste, who falls in love with Vidhi (played by Triptii), an upper-caste girl. Their love story unfolds in the middle of caste politics, injustice and painful truths. ' Dhadak 2' cast Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri, Saad Bilgrami, Manjiri Pupala, Richa, Vipin Sharma, Deeksha Joshi, Mayank Khanna, Aditya Thakare, Shantanu Pandey, Bala, Priyank Tiwari, Ashwant Lodhi, Amit Jaat, and Ravi. Remake of Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal' At the trailer launch of 'Dhadak 2', Karan Johar called the film a 'proud adaptation' of the 2018 Tamil movie, 'Pariyerum Perumal'. His statement got people talking. Fans and critics alike have been wondering if this version can match the legacy of the original film. The original Tamil film was directed by Mari Selvaraj and was inspired by a short story collection he wrote. It was also the debut of actors Kathir and Anandhi. Clashing with 'Son of Sardaar 2' 'Dhadak 2' is not the only sequel releasing today. Ajay Devgn's 'Son of Sardaar 2' is also hitting the cinemas on the same day. This big box office clash is one of the main highlights of the weekend. Advance bookings stay modest According to boxofficeindia, despite being sequels to well-known films, neither 'Dhadak 2' nor 'Son of Sardaar 2' has managed to create major buzz through their trailers or music. Industry insiders believe that the timing of their release may have worked against them, as it's one of the most competitive weekends of the year. With 'Saiyaara, 2025's biggest overseas Bollywood hit, still drawing large crowds, 'Dhadak 2' enters cinemas with only a lukewarm pre-release response. The film's future now depends heavily on reviews and positive word of mouth. While it may pick up over the weekend, especially on Saturday and Sunday, experts are unsure about its long-term box office run. As per boxofficeworldwide, by 1 August, 'Dhadak 2' had sold 18,000 tickets across national chains. Meanwhile, 'Son of Sardaar 2' was leading with around 28,000 tickets sold. 'Dhadak 2' Movie Review The Times of India gave the film 3.5 stars. An excerpt from the review reads:'The film delivers several heart‑wrenching moments depicting the injustice meted out to oppressed castes—some subtle, such as Vidhi's father (Harish Khanna) leaving out Nilesh's surname from the guest list to his elder daughter's wedding, and others painfully blatant, like Nilesh being smeared with sludge by classmates. The plot also explores the violence and false allegations people from lower castes often endure. While these incidents are gut‑wrenching, the romantic arc between the leads feels underdeveloped.' Repetitive writing, powerful scenes The screenplay, written by Shazia Iqbal and Rahul Badwelkar, has its ups and downs. The review adds, 'Written by Iqbal and Rahul Badwelkar, the narrative occasionally feels repetitive as it focuses heavily on Nilesh's oppression. It also touches on student politics, showing Nilesh's initial reluctance to get involved and hinting at his change of heart later, but the track fizzles out.' How will 'Dhadak 2' perform at the Box Office? With modest advance bookings and stiff competition from 'Son of Sardaar 2' and ongoing hits like 'Saiyaara', the success of 'Dhadak 2' will depend on audience reactions. But with an emotionally heavy plot and a powerful performance by the lead actors, the film has a chance to win hearts over the weekend.
