A Gritty Adaptation of 'Pariyerum Perumal'

Dhadak 2 is the official Hindi remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018).

By adapting such a powerful narrative, the makers aim to inject Hindi cinema with socially charged storytelling, exploring themes far beyond conventional romance.

Powerful Posters and Taglines Set the Tone

The film’s first-look posters, released alongside the trailer announcement, make a bold statement. In one, the tagline reads:
"When surrender means death… fight!"
The Hindi version states:
"Marne aur ladne mein se ek ko chunna ho… toh ladna."

These taglines hint at a love story defined not just by passion, but by struggle, sacrifice, and defiance.

Plot and Characters

In Dhadak 2, Siddhant Chaturvedi plays Neelesh, a young man from a marginalized caste, while Triptii Dimri portrays Vidhi, a woman navigating her own battles within a rigid societal framework. Their love is more than a personal journey—it’s a political act, challenging the systemic injustices that seek to keep them apart.

From Poetry to Politics: A Bold New Tone

Dhadak 2 positions itself as a spiritual successor to the 2018 Dhadak rather than a direct sequel. While the original film glossed over caste nuances in favour of a romantic tone, the sequel is expected to go deeper, leaning into poetic rebellion and political consciousness.

Siddhant Chaturvedi added to the intrigue by describing the soundtrack as:

"A poem by Shailendra, couplets by Bhagat Singh, Kishore Kumar's voice, Thomas Jefferson's words, a little bit of SRK, and orchestration done in Budapest."

This vivid description suggests that Dhadak 2 is not just a film, but a cinematic experience, both lyrical and revolutionary.

Certification Hurdles and Release Delays

Originally slated for a mid-2025 release, Dhadak 2 faced delays due to issues with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The film’s candid references to caste and social inequality led to extended scrutiny. Several edits were made, including:

• Muted slurs

• Modified disclaimers

• Scene cuts

Eventually, the film was granted a U/A 16+ certificate, paving the way for its August 1 release.

Creative Team and Backing Studios

The film brings together a formidable creative lineup.

Production Houses: Dharma Productions, Zee Studios, Cloud 9 Pictures
Producers:

• Karan Johar

• Hiroo Johar

• Apoorva Mehta

• Meenu Aroraa

A Love Story That Roars

As the poster’s caption boldly puts it:
"Do dil. Ek dhadak."
Two hearts. One heartbeat.

But this heartbeat is far from peaceful—it's a thunderous rhythm of resistance, echoing through class, caste, and cultural divides.

Post-Theatrical Digital Release

Following its theatrical run, Dhadak 2 will have its digital premiere on Netflix, ensuring the film reaches a global audience. With rising buzz and an impactful subject, the OTT release is expected to draw significant viewership, especially among younger, socially aware audiences.

Dhadak 2 is not just another Bollywood love story—it’s a social commentary wrapped in romance, a cinematic rebellion against injustice, and a love letter to those who dare to fight for their place in the world. With Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri bringing raw intensity to the screen and Shazia Iqbal at the helm, this film could very well redefine what a mainstream Hindi romance looks like in 2025.

Don’t miss the trailer drop on July 11, and catch the film in theatres from August 1, 2025.
