Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 7: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer Dhadak 2 hit the theatres recently. However, the film failed to draw crowds to the theatres, despite the positive word of mouth. The Hindi remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal was expected to break records like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's latest romantic blockbuster, but the box office numbers have been underwhelming till now. According to the industry tracker Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 earned Rs 1 crore on the seventh day of release, which is its lowest amount ever. The total India net collection of the first week now stand at Rs 16.44 crore. The film recorded Rs 3.5 crore on its first day, and witnessed slight growth over the first weekend, with Sunday being the highest earning day at Rs 4.15 crore. However, the movie faced a dip again on Monday. On day 7 (Thursday) at the box office, Dhadak 2 had an overall 12.00% Hindi occupancy, with morning shows at 8.40%, afternoon shows at 13.99%, evening shows standing at 10.92%, and night shows at 14.68%. Dhadak 2 is facing touch competition from sevral other releases – Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur starrer Son of Sardaar 2, the devotional animated film Mahavatar Narsimha, and Mohit Suri's record-breaking romantic drama Saiyaara. In fact, Son of Sardaar 2 has overshadowed Dhadak 2 in its first week of release. Given that there are no new releases this Friday, Dhadak 2 has this weekend to show growth. ALSO READ | Dhadak 2: Shazia Iqbal destroys ancient Bollywood Dharma in the best Karan Johar production since Jigra An excerpt from SCREEN's review of Dhadak 2 read, 'The film doesn't draw back from scenes set in squalor, even if those visuals come wrapped in a Neelesh's outburst as he 'introduces' Vidhi to his lived reality — look, that neighbour is a sweeper in homes, that one cleans gutters. We aren't shown the people up close ; they are blurs in the distance. A romance flowers between the two, but the passion feels a trifle performative. Coming off from 'Saiyaara' where the two young lovers burn up the screen, about the only really effective thing about that film, you feel this even more intensely. Individually, though, both make us watch, and in some places, Dimri more than Chaturvedi.' Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures, the film is a spiritual sequel to the first part Dhadak, which was released in 2018. Also starring Zakir Hussain, Saurabh Sachdeva, Deeksha Joshi, Vipin Sharma, Saad Bilgrami and Harish Khanna, it focuses on the sensitive topic of casteism.

Dhadak 2 revolves around two young law students, whose inter-cast love story is fraught with social injustice and caste politics. The film received appreciation for its sensitive subject and cast performances. Expressing her take on film's touching message, Triptii told PTI, 'It should reach the maximum audience because it's entertaining and also leaves a little note, so that is something which we are constantly looking for. We found that equilibrium… There is something real and sensitive about it ('Dhadak 2'). All of these guys have more responsibility, and they are very well aware of that. That's why they have been very quiet about everything, like while we were shooting for the film, even the censor board issues, we never spoke about anything.'
