Dhadak 2 set to stream on Netflix: When to watch Triptii Dimri, Siddhant Chaturvedi’s love story on OTT

The film is directed by Shazia Iqbal, and backed by Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, Adar Poonawalla.

Dhadak 2's prequel, Dhadak starring Jahnvi Kapoor and  Ishaan Khatter was inspired by Sairat and it became known for introducing a new generation of actors to powerful storytelling rooted in social commentary.

This time, however, Dhadak 2 seems to strike an even deeper chord. Siddhant and Triptii received huge praises for their sincere acting and portrayal of their characters, adding depth to the film.

As per Money Control's review of Dhadak 2, the film was described as, "Beyond caste, the film attempts to touch upon other issues like feminism and class divide, but those threads remain at the surface level. They’re there, but never fully explored. Still, there are moments that stand out. The humiliation of Neelesh’s father by Ronnie and his friends, the heartbreak of his dog Birju being killed, and a brief scene of Shekhar silently patting the dog—all of them land. These are moments that feel real, that stay with you. The film’s heart is clearly in the right place, and the effort to tell a story that matters is undeniable. But that same heart is let down by a lack of narrative consistency and tonal focus. The grittiness that is so essential to stories like these is only seen in flashes—never sustained."

While critics have praised the film’s performances and direction, the original theatrical run didn’t draw large audiences to cinemas. Now, with its arrival on Netflix, the film has the chance to reach a much wider audience and get the recognition it deserves.
