Summary: Overall, Dhadak had a significant message to share in the climax and the superstar kids Ishaan and Janhvi were a delight to watch. But, the generic storyline and the tedious screenplay made it nearly unwatchable as I found myself cringing and regret watching the majority of the film. Nevertheless, it's sad to see Bollywood still trying to beat a dead horse while South Indian Film Industry is busy exploring unorthodox love stories like Arjun Reddy.

Watch it at ur own risk. Had Sairat not released, it still would have done some business. But comparing this crap to SAIRAT, it's painful. Complete waste of money and time.

Same old story, nothing new, "two lovers have biggest possible obstacles, and there's nothing important than love in life".

I was initially in no mood of watching Dhadak since I was so in love with the original one and another reason was the direction and the production house. I knew I was digging into something which will be of on worth compared to Sairat. But the only thing which makes this mess watchable is the fresh pair: Ishaan and Jahnvi. They both've acted good in the movie especially Ishaan . He was brilliant just like his debut movie into the clouds and we can say Jahnvi was decent in serious situation although some of them were so rushed which just destroyed the essence of the scene from the original one or had no so essence. Just pale 1-D direction .And she was easy on eyes on lighter moments. Coming to the screenplay and direction both are very bad. I'm surprised that why Shashank Khaitan is even handed projects and something like the remake of an iconic movie... Why God why. The direction is not simply poor . There's nothing to talk about it and screenplay .. omg he just insulted the original one by changing some of the parts of it and making it too rushed , choppy and flat.. ughhh!!! Why ?? The supporting cast is not at all used well. The friends which played a major role in Sairat , they are reduced to just comical figures and side-kicked stalkers. Nothing else to talk about them. Summing this up , this movie is nothing like Sairat . Another Easily forgettable flick by Bollywood and a trashy remake only made watchable by the lead pair.

Nepotism can get film to this star kids but telnet is god gifted. Waste of time and money
