Dhadak 2 box office collection Day 7: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri’s romantic drama earns its lowest amount ever at Rs 1 crore

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.

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.
