Dhadak 2

Amazing gut wrenching and true mirror of the indian society. People that are not enjoying this film are themselves casteist. The filmmakers have captured the essence of the so called caste systen put in place by the british that some people wear it as a honour badge proudly and discrimination against the "lower" castes. Highly recommend this movie. In the same era as Abrahim and Khushi, please support Tripti and Siddhant.

Dhadak 2 is a must-watch! Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri deliver outstanding performances, bringing depth and emotion to their characters. Their chemistry is undeniable, making their romance heart-wrenching and relatable. The film tackles tough social issues with sensitivity and sincerity. Powerful storytelling, soulful music, and heart-wrenching romance make it a compelling watch. Worth watching for its bravery in storytelling and honesty in performances.

We liked this movie a lot, especially those based on a story that shows the caste system and how casteist norms are still prevalent in our country. Such movies are very much needed in today's time. So that casteist mentality can be eradicated from the minds of people and a feeling of equality can be brought among the people.

The direction of movie was just brilliant. Both the characters played their role with enthusiasm & just gave their best performance in the movie. Overall the best movie direction & team . Must watch 👌 Many scenes in the movie were so heart touching & the songs of the movie made it more beautiful & perfect !!

Bold in intent, raw in moments, but ultimately stops short of leaving a lasting impact. Over five years after the romantic tragedy Dhadak tried to adapt Sairat for mainstream Hindi audiences, Dhadak 2 returns, not as a sequel in story, but in spirit. Director Shazia Iqbal takes on the ambitious task of remaking the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, and while the heart of the film beats strong, it doesn't thump loud enough to match the power of the original. Compared to Pariyerum Perumal, Dhadak 2 feels more cautious, holding back where it could've gone full throttle.

Dhadak 2 is raw, unapologetic, and grounded in harsh realities. The screenplay is simple and hard-hitting in places, but overall lacks the unrelenting intensity of the original. The interval block delivers a shocking turn that elevates the emotional stakes, setting up a second half that's gripping and painful in equal measure. The music stays in the background and matches the serious mood of the film, adding emotion without taking the spotlight. Bas Ek Dhadak, Preet Re, and Duniya Alag are lyrically poignant, even if the compositions don't stand out musically.

Siddhant Chaturvedi delivers a career-best performance, a layered portrayal of a young man torn between love and systemic hatred. His eyes carry the trauma of every injustice, his silences often louder than words. Triptii Dimri breaks past the glam tag and proves her mettle. As Vidhi, she is vulnerable, sincere, and nuanced. Their chemistry feels unfiltered and heartbreakingly real especially in the film's final act, where Vidhi's confrontation with her family and her guttural scream is perhaps the film's most haunting moment. Zakir Hussain, Saurabh Sachdeva, Saad Bilgrami, Harish Khanna, Vipin Sharma, and the rest of the supporting cast bring a natural, believable feel to the film, making the world on screen feel real and lived-in.

Dhadak 2 is a bold attempt to shift the spotlight back onto caste. It works thanks to its powerful performances, gut-punch moments, and honest intent, but it misses the mark in building a sustained narrative.
