Nilesh and Vidhi fall in love with each other. However, tragedy strikes when the caste differences threaten to end their relationship.

Shubhra Gupta

The Indian Express

...[The film] can be seen reaching for emotional highs, and you will it with all your might to get there, and then along comes another speech-to-camera, another declarative dive, which undermines the moment, and the cumulative drama.

Rated: 2.5/5

It finds a middle ground between subtly straying and blindly following.

Doesn't achieve the brilliant, blistering power of its source material

It's an unusual comparison to make, but Shazia Iqbal's Dhadak 2 has more in common with Joaquin Phoenix's billion-dollar-grossing Joker movie than you'd imagine.

Dhadak 2 borrows its beats from Pariyerum Perumal but vibrates with its own music. It is a tender task, situated between adapting and creating, performing and inhabiting, miming and mining.

Debutante director Shazia Iqbal makes a brave statement on everyday caste discrimination in society, but the parts of speech don’t add up to create a consistently stirring experience

Distressing! It raised the very important topic of caste divides and highlighted it strongly, but it definitely wasn’t an easy watch. Not a romantic bollywood film, an educational one.

This movie shows the reality of our country. The people in big cities live their cushy lives, private jobs and whatnot believe casteism is a myth..that it doesnt happen anymore. What they dont realize that it happens everywhere in india, from small villages, to town, to cities. And it will keep happening as long as india is ruled by upper caste Hindus..it will keep happening as long as caste system exists. UC hindus hate obc, sc/sts with passion. They have and will continue to do everything they can to stop them from growing, stop them from becoming stronger. Even now in most govt offices,on most official positions its still mostly upper caste hindus who get these jobs..yet they complain about reservation..if it was upto them they would rather wipe out every other hindu group other than their own

I just watched Dhadak 2 on Netflix and regretting not watching it in cinemas. This movie has soul, story, acting, direction everything which was missing from Bollywood movies for quite some time now. I hope they make more such movies, loved it.

Tripti Dimri and Siddhant are exceptional actors. They need to be given many many more opportunities to create magic.
