Dhadak 2 OTT release date: Here's when and where you can stream Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's romantic drama

The much-anticipated romance film Dhadak 2 will finally be available to stream on Netflix on September 26, 2025, following its successful theatrical run earlier this year. This film, which is both a remake of the highly regarded Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal and a spiritual sequel to the 2018 smash hit Dhadak, was written and directed by Shazia Iqbal and stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri.

Plot overview

Dhadak 2 deals with the disturbing truths of contemporary India's caste system. Chaturvedi plays the role of law student Neelesh Ahirwar, whose upper-caste classmate Dimri plays the role of Vidhi Bhardwaj. Their romance grows stronger, but they face strong resistance from Vidhi's family, who are deeply prejudiced based on caste. In the film, we see Vidhi overcome her prejudices and become a silent ally to Neelesh as he endures physical abuse, humiliation, and social exclusion.

While taking place in a made-up Bhopal, the story mostly takes place in a law school, drawing attention to how education, identity, and structural injustice all interact. A tragic yet transformational climax highlights the ingrained roots of caste-based animosity as the film dives into Neelesh's hardships and courage.

Box office performance and release delays

The tough subject matter and lack of promotional activity likely contributed to Dhadak 2's underwhelming box office success, which was criticised for its performances and daring storytelling. The film's theatrical release was postponed numerous times due to technical difficulties; it was later moved to February 21, 2025, and then eventually released on August 1, 2025, after resolving CBFC clearance concerns. The original release date was November 22, 2024.

Dhadak 2 has made around ₹29 crore so far. The film's honest depiction of caste discrimination and emotional depth earned it mixed reviews from critics, who also compared it to the original and found it lacking in several respects.

Netflix release

Those who were unable to catch the film's theatrical debut may now enjoy its moving story and stellar cast without leaving the house, thanks to Netflix. Starting on September 26, 2025, you'll be able to watch Dhadak 2 on OTT.
