The highly anticipated film "Dhadak 2," starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is set to release on August 1, 2025. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, this Dharma Productions film is reportedly a remake of the acclaimed Tamil movie Pariyerum Perumal. Early reviews highlight that "Dhadak 2" shifts from the romantic focus of its predecessor to a more hard-hitting narrative, exploring the deep-seated issues of caste discrimination, societal inequality, and the challenges faced by youth in India.Siddhant Chaturvedi plays Neelesh, a Dalit student who faces constant discrimination, while Triptii Dimri portrays Vidhi, an upper-caste girl from a privileged background. Their love story forms the crux of the film, set against the backdrop of a law college. While the chemistry between Chaturvedi and Dimri is noted, critics have pointed out that the film's pacing, particularly in the first half, focuses heavily on establishing the romance, sometimes at the expense of narrative clarity. However, the performances of both lead actors, especially Chaturvedi's portrayal of vulnerability and resilience, have been widely praised. The film also features strong supporting performances, contributing to its emotional impact. Despite some criticisms regarding screenplay and music, "Dhadak 2" is being lauded for its sensitive portrayal of social issues and its attempt to deliver a powerful message.
