Dhadak 2 box office collection day 1: Shazia Iqbal's Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri film is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 1: Shazia Iqbal’s Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 released in theatres this Friday. The remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor-starrer Dhadak. According to Sacnilk, the film made ₹3.35 crore net in India on its opening day.

According to the trade website, Dhadak 2 made an estimated ₹3.35 crore net in India on its opening day. This means the film failed to beat Siddhant’s previous film, Yudhra’s opening, which had made ₹4.5 crore net. Triptii’s previous film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, had collected ₹35.5 crore. Most tellingly, however, Dhadak 2's opening is less than half of what Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter's Dhadak had managed in 2018.

About Dhadak 2

Dhadak 2 tells the tale of a law student who falls for his classmate, only for her family to harass him due to caste differences. Talking about how the film deals with a sensitive subject, Siddhant told PTI, “It is a huge responsibility... A lot of the credit goes to our director, who from day one was very sure of what she wanted and how she wanted to tell the story, how the characters should be, she didn't want to over-dramatise anything or oversimplify anything. She just wanted things to be as they are in reality.”
