The romantic drama film Dhadak 2 starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, is now available for streaming on Netflix. Almost two months after its theatrical launch on August 1, 2025, the film is now available digitally.

From romance to caste dynamics

Directed by Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 film Dhadak and a formal Hindi remake of the acclaimed 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. In contrast to the earlier film, which used a commercial love story structure, this one takes a harder look at caste and socioeconomic inequalities in India.

A young guy named Nilesh (Chaturvedi) from a lower-caste family manages to get into the National University of Law through a quota system; the story revolves around him. Vidhisha, aka Vidhi (Dimri), a fellow upper-caste student, crosses paths with him throughout his life. The two form an intense friendship that soon blossoms into love.

When Vidhi invites Nilesh to the wedding of her sister Nimisha (Deeksha Joshi), tensions between them rise. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when, against Vidhi's family's wishes, Nilesh goes to the ceremony and faces the full brunt of entrenched caste hatred.

Lead performances receive critical acclaim

Critics have lauded Chaturvedi and Dimri for their performances, saying that they give the film's difficult topics more weight. Veteran actors Vipin Sharma and Zakir Hussain are among the supporting cast members.

Several obstacles stood in the way of the release of Dhadak 2. The film premiered on August 1, 2025, after numerous postponements owing to various obstacles, including delays relating to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) clearance, which had originally scheduled the film for a cinema release on November 22, 2024.

Critical reception and comparisons to original

Critics were overwhelmingly positive when the film premiered. The film's straightforward exploration of the harsh reality of caste inequality earned it mostly positive reviews from critics. There were some critical complaints about the film's uneven plot and comparisons to Dhadak and the Tamil version of Pariyerum Perumal among other things.

Around ₹29 crore (US$3.4 million) was the total revenue for Dhadak 2 at the box office. People believed that Dhadak 2's theatrical run was limited due to competition from other big releases. It is believed that the film's release on Netflix will give it a major second life, enabling it to reach a larger audience who might have missed its limited theatrical run.
