Dhadak 2, starring fresh on-screen pair Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, has been one of Bollywood's most awaited sequels. Just hours into its premiere, the Shazia Iqbal-directed film has sparked a passionate response from viewers. It follows two youngsters, Vidhi, a woman from an upper-caste wealthy family, and Neelesh, a Dalit aspiring lawyer, who find love in each other. However, caste and class differences threaten their relationship and expose the often-overlooked existence of casteism in modern urban India. The film reportedly draws from the 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal.
The audience has already poured in reviews of Dhadak 2on social media. Many viewers have praised it for its grounded narrative of confronting caste dynamics, while many others claim the film glosses and romanticises social issues for dramatic effect. Some also noted that the film falls short in comparison to its Tamil original.
Meanwhile, Siddhant and Triptii have earned massive praise for their emotionally-charged and mature performance. Shazia Iqbal's direction has been lauded for its bold and unflinching honesty.

#Dhadak2trailer The plot is intense. Siddhant chaturvedi is probably putting in the performance of his career so far. Even Tripti Dimri, who’s anyway a good actor, looks great with Siddhant. The premise is very interesting. Check it out. pic.twitter.com/YK39ICrwGX

#Dhadak2@tripti_dimri23 delivers yet another superb performance. Though she has limited screen time compared to Siddhant, she makes up for it with stunning her act in the pre-climax and climax https://t.co/skib6goowR

Let’s quickly talk about Dhadak 2 – how is the film?
First of all, if you’re thinking this is another copy of Sairat like the first Dhadak, then no, it’s not.

Dhadhak 2. Yet another movie where they darken the actor’s skin to make him look that he has come from a pooper/lower class. When will Bollywood stop these stereotypes. Of they can’t, they should just get the make up right.
