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 Aug 4, 2025 Full Review Rahul Desai The Hollywood Reporter It finds a middle ground between subtly straying and blindly following. Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Anupama Chopra The Hollywood Reporter Doesn't achieve the brilliant, blistering power of its source material Aug 1, 2025 Full Review Tatsam Mukherjee The Wire (INDIA) Dhadak 2 wants to be a crusader on caste atrocities, but, even by the end I couldn’t picture it as any more than a worried bystander. Aug 12, 2025 Full Review Poulomi Das The Juggernaut In debutante director Shazia Iqbal’s hands, Dhadak 2 proves that, in India, love isn’t blind -- it sees caste in sharp, unforgiving focus. Aug 8, 2025 Full Review Nandini Ramnath Scroll.in Unlike the first Dhadak (2018), an underwhelming adaptation of Sairat, the new movie has a fuller understanding of caste identity and its meaning for a young man striving to assert himself against unimaginable odds.

harsh g I would wholeheartedly and strongly recommend everyone of permissible age to watch this movie. Apart from its almost flawless direction, screenplay, impactful acting and conventional as well as unique modus operandi, the issue of indian social reality on caste lines is touched very beautifully. Casting is best. Special mentions to sidharth chaturvedi, saurav sachdeva, Vipin Sharma, harish khana and mighty Zakir Hussain. The dialogues are iconic like that of "jis par beechti h, voh hi samjhta h", "marne aur ladne mai, ladna chunna". Songs were also good. And the pack of social issues like gender issues, racial issues, caste issues and their entanglement with concepts of marriage, education, leisure is very very very superly presented. Yes, the climax should have been given more time to establish the very change in characters of antagonists as well as the sudden induction of actress's brother in the same class of the college and his sudden spirt of involvement in the matters was bit off track. This movie has such number of scenes which will make a sound matured individual from whichever class or caste or nationality ask questions to oneself atleast once. Also do not judge the film from its spiritual prequel Dhadak. Both are pole's apart movies with former focuses romance in social reality and issues , and the latter is more of typical Bollywood romance in everything. Else, Hatts off to Shazia Iqbal and Karan Johar. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review swagger m Not just a movie a real depiction of the harsh hidden reality .. A movie worth watching but yaa it is must to watch it on a neutral ground to understand the perspectives being biased with a certain will only make u feel like it's just another Bollywood story which isn't.... It unveals the critical issues which are so deeply inherited in the society even nowadays.. Must watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Mirza M 'Dhadak 2' is a hard-hitting romance-social drama that manages to be heartfelt, politically aware, and emotionally resonant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Audience Member Dhadak 2 directed by Shazia Iqbal is a timely exploration of caste in modern times. Though a remake Shazia Iqbal along with her co writer make sure that the movie doesn't become one of those copy paste remakes, the feministic angle specifically through Tripti's Vidhi gives the movie its standout moment. Apart from the caste horrors the film also looks into the idea of so called honor attached to woman's behavior.
