Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Triptii Dimri-Siddhant Chaturvedi's movie sees a dull opening weekend, earns...
Son of Sardaar 2, released on the same day, August 1, emerged as a winner in terms of box office collection on the opening weekend compared to Dhadak 2.
Dhadak 2 is a follow-up to the 2018 Dhadak. It is a remake of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal.
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 fell short of expectations at the Indian box office. Opening at a meagre ₹ 3.5 crore, the movie saw an uptick in its overall performance over the weekend, but it wasn't enough to make it shine at the box office.
On Sunday, Dhadak 2 saw an 11.20% increase in its earnings, minting ₹ 4.17 crore. On Saturday, the Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi movie earned ₹ 3.75 crore.
This brings Dhadak 2's opening weekend collection to ₹ 11.42 crore.
Meanwhile, Son of Sardaar 2, which received poorer reviews, earned ₹ 25.14 crore over the weekend.
Dhadak 2 had an overall 33.15% Hindi occupancy on Sunday
Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR and Lucknow emerged as top contributors in terms of occupancy.
IMDb describes Dhadak 2, directed by Shazia Iqbal, as 'A searing romantic drama about identity, power, and the cost of love in the world we live in.'
The movie stars Saad Bilgrami, Manjiri Pupala, Richa, Vipin Sharma, Deeksha Joshi, Mayank Khanna, Aditya Thakare, Shantanu Pandey, Bala, Priyank Tiwari, Ashwant Lodhi and Amit Jaat in key roles.
Hindustan Times said Dhadak 2 carries a powerful message but fumbles with its storytelling. 'It wants to speak about caste, oppression, and systemic injustice- and when it does, it hits the right notes. But it's weighed down by an uneven narrative and an overstretched runtime.'
'This could have been a hard-hitting social drama. Instead, it settles for moments of brilliance buried under a ton of missed opportunities,' they added.

Rashmika Mandanna opens up about stardom, says she's working for the brand 'Rashmika Mandanna'
Millions know Rashmika Mandanna as a bubbly, stylish, and confident star—but behind that carefully shaped public image lies a more grounded and deeply emotional person, one that fans rarely get to see. In a recent candid interview, the actor opened up about how the pressures of stardom often force her to present a curated version of herself to the world. Rashmika Mandanna says she is a grounded, old-school private self who struggles with social media scrutiny. Rashmika talks about difference between her online and offline persona In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, Rashmika said, "I am an actor, and I am working under this brand called Rashmika Mandanna. With all the advice people give—'Oh you can't say this, you can't behave like this, you can't do this'—that becomes your online personality. It is a part of you, but it is not entirely you." She went on to describe the stark contrast between her public and private selves. "If you see me at home, you will be surprised what an old-school person I am. I will be the one feeding everyone, checking if they have rested well. I don't understand Gen Z terms. I can't keep up with these things. I am really an emotional person, but I can't really show it outside, because honestly, these days, people think kindness is fake." Rashmika also opened up about the emotional strain of being in the public eye, admitting that social media and online chatter affect her. She admits that her problem is that she cares too much and does get affected by it. However, it has been a constant journey of going through it and healing from it over all these years. Rashmika's latest work This year, Rashmika Mandanna has showcased her versatility across languages and genres. She portrayed Maharani Yesubai in Laxman Utekar's period drama Chhaava, opposite Vicky Kaushal in the titular role. She also starred as Saisri Rajkot in AR Murugadoss' action entertainer Sikandar, alongside Salman Khan. In the bilingual Telugu-Tamil film Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, she played Sameera, sharing screen space with Dhanush and Nagarjuna. Rashmika's upcoming slate includes the Hindi film Thama and the Telugu female-led drama The Girlfriend, continuing her streak of balancing mainstream cinema with performance-driven roles.
