Dhadak 2 OTT Release Update: Where to watch Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's romantic film after theatres
Dhadak 2 OTT Release Update: Following a tedious journey through production challenges and censorship hurdles, this Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer has finally locked a release date - August 1, 2025. This romantic drama is a Hindi adaptation of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018), directed by Mari Selvaraj. For all the OTT lovers, Dhadak 2 will be streaming on Netflix after its theatrical run concludes.
Dhadak 2 underwent some serious censorship changes
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) granted Dhadak 2 a U/A certificate, but only after the filmmakers implemented 16 substantial edits. These modifications addressed concerns related to political, caste-based, and religious sensitivities. Notable changes included the removal of a Tulsidas couplet from a song, softening of a scene depicting a father's insult, and a nearly two-minute disclaimer at the film's outset.
These alterations were essential for the film to align with CBFC guidelines and secure approval for public release. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 also stars Vipin Sharma, Saurabh Sachdeva, Deeksha Joshi, Dishank Arora, Harish Khanna and Manjiri Pupala among others. The screenplay and dialogues are penned by Rahul Badwelkar and Shazia Iqbal.
This is a thematic continuum
While the original Dhadak (2018) was a remake of the Marathi film Sairat, Dhadak 2 draws its inspiration from Pariyerum Perumal. This 2018 Tamil film revolved around Pariyan, a young man from an oppressed caste who aspires to become a lawyer. He enrols in a law college where he meets Jo, a naive and friendly girl from an upper-caste Hindu family. As their friendship deepens, the societal repercussions of their bond begin to surface.
Pariyan is constantly reminded of his social identity, facing humiliation, systemic bias, and physical violence. The film doesn't shy away from showing the brutal realities of caste discrimination in both overt and subtle forms. Dhadak 2 had reportedly taken it to a whole new level, which was toned down by the CBFC.

Lily Collins Lives Her Emily In Paris Moment At 2025 French Open Final
Last Updated: Lily Collins was spotted watching the game alongside her husband, Charlie McDowell. The French Open 2025 men's singles final on Sunday, June 8, turned into a spectacle as Carlos Alcaraz clinched yet another title against Jannik Sinner. Among the many celebrities in attendance at Roland Garros was Emily in Paris star Lily Collins, who was seen enjoying the match with her husband, filmmaker Charlie McDowell. Lily looked every bit like the Paris fashionista she portrays in the Netflix show, wearing a black turtleneck top paired with a beige jacket and stylish tinted sunglasses. Her bob-cut hair accentuated her look for the outing further. On the other hand, her husband Charlie wore a checkered shirt paired with a black cap and sunglasses as he watched the match between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz with full focus. The official X account of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Tour could not help but join in the fun by sharing a picture of the 36-year-old sitting in the stands. With a tense expression on her face, Lily was seen enjoying the match. The ATP Tour wittily wrote in the caption, 'Emily in Paris… #rolandgarros." Emily in Paris… Fans were quick to grasp the hint, especially since an episode in season 4 of Emily in Paris actually featured a romantic date at Roland Garros. 'Well, she did go to Roland Garros on one of her dates in the show," one user commented. Another cheekily added, 'Oh, my girl! Where's my chef Gabriel!" A different fan wrote, 'Obviously, in the next season of Emily in Paris, we're going to see RG." While Lily turned heads off the court, the action on it was equally riveting. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner faced World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the men's singles final. Jannik was fighting to clinch his fourth Grand Slam title, while Carlos defended his 2024 French Open cup. Speaking of Lily's work front, the 36-year-old actress is currently busy with the shoot for the fifth season of Emily in Paris.
