Dhadak 2 OTT partner revealed! Here's where you can stream Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's romantic drama after its theatrical run

Summary:

• Dhadak 2, starring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, will release in theatres on August 1, 2025, after multiple delays.

• Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the film is a spiritual sequel to Dhadak but adapts the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, focusing on caste and identity.

• The film will stream on Netflix in early October 2025, following a 60-day gap after its theatrical release.

The highly anticipated sequel Dhadak 2 is finally preparing for its August 1, 2025, theatrical debut, after enduring numerous postponements. Featuring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, the romantic drama will be accessible to watch on Netflix when its theatrical run concludes. It serves as a spiritual sequel to Dhadak (2018).

Shift from original Dhadak

Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, and Cloud 9 Pictures produced the film, while Shazia Iqbal wrote and directed it, making her debut in the mainstream. Although Dhadak brought Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor to a wider audience, the story of Dhadak 2 is different. The original Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018) garnered significant praise and directly addressed the issue of caste inequality in educational institutions in its adaptation.

Siddhant Chaturvedi portrays Neelesh, an idealistic student from a marginalised background who enrols in a prominent institution in modern India. The events of Dhadak 2 take place in this setting. The emotional narrative of the film is around his developing relationship with Vidhi, played by Triptii Dimri, a fellow student. A promising tale of friendship and potential love quickly devolves into a depressing exploration of social exclusion, hierarchy, and identity. Tragically, Neelesh must confront the unpleasant truths that he cannot evade with his education and resolve alone.

Balancing romance and social commentary

There is an attempt to keep a romantic core while navigating the intricacies of privilege, caste, and belonging throughout the film. It differs from the 2018 remake of the Marathi film Sairat in terms of its narrative focus. Supposedly, Iqbal's perspective combines narratives focused on characters with social criticism.

A musical teaser formally announced the film's release on May 15, 2025, introducing the characters of Vidhi and Neelesh. However, the development timeline for the film has been somewhat rocky. The release date was later adjusted from November 2024 to August 1, 2025, after several delays caused by factors such as CBFC certification concerns. The original release date had been pushed back to February 2025.

Netflix streaming in October

Reportedly, streaming on Netflix is anticipated to commence in early October 2025, and Dhadak 2 will adhere to a 60-day theatrical-to-digital timeframe. The platform's partnership with Dharma Productions has continued with the acquisition of exclusive post-theatrical rights.
