Dhadak 2, featuring
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, hit theatres on August 1, 2025. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film serves as both a remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil drama
Pariyerum Perumal (2018) and a spiritual follow-up to the 2018 hit
Dhadak. Despite clashing with other big releases like
Saiyaara and
Son of Sardaar 2, it managed to get great reviews and positive word of mouth. Though, the box office prowess of the film was obviously limited. It has made around Rs 17 crore at the box office after finishing 8 days. Meanwhile, it's 'Mahavtar Narsimha' and 'Saiyaara' which are giving the film a tough competition in theatres at the moment.
For those waiting to stream it at home, Netflix has been confirmed as the film’s official OTT platform. While an exact date hasn’t been announced by either the makers or Netflix, industry patterns point to a release around six to eight weeks after its theatrical run. This means
Dhadak 2 will likely arrive on Netflix sometime between September 12 and September 26, 2025.
The story follows Neelesh Ahirwar, a law student from a marginalised community played by Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Vidhi Bharadwaj, portrayed by Triptii Dimri, who belongs to an affluent upper-class family. Their love blossoms during college but faces staunch opposition, particularly from Vidhi’s family, who “look down upon Neelesh due to his caste.” Moving beyond the framework of a typical romance, the film delves into the harsh realities of caste-based prejudice, portraying the emotional and social battles that come with breaking entrenched societal barriers.
