Dhadak 2 trailer: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri fight against casteism in this intense romantic drama

Dharma Productions shared the trailer on Instagram on July 11, which introduces Siddhant and Triptii as college students navigating a complex and emotionally charged relationship.

Karan Johar returns with the much-anticipated sequel to Dhadak, this time starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in the lead roles. The makers unveiled the trailer of Dhadak 2 on July 11, sparking immediate buzz among fans and cinephiles alike.

Dharma Productions shared the trailer on Instagram on July 11, which introduces Siddhant and Triptii as college students navigating a complex and emotionally charged relationship. Siddhant's character experiences caste-based discrimination in college after being admitted via a reservation quota.

He finds solace and camaraderie in Triptii's character, who is shown to be adamantly opposed to casteist beliefs, despite the animosity.

The trailer’s caption read, "It all begins with ek धड़क! #Dhadak2 trailer out now, Releasing in cinemas on 1st August." It hints at a story that, while thematically linked to the original Dhadak starring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, carves its own unique path, dealing more directly with caste-based injustice and social divides.

The trailer begins with tense and discriminatory scenes before swiftly shifting into a heartwarming story of love and resiliency. The couple withstands parental and societal opposition as their bond grows stronger. The narrative centres on their steadfast struggle to remain together, even at the expense of everything.

The trailer's emotional undertones are evident, giving viewers a glimpse of the leads' unfiltered and genuine chemistry. In their performances, Siddhant and Triptii exude a subdued intensity, opting for tender bravery and subtly defiant actions over overt romantic gestures. Despite being subtle, their love story feels strong and firmly grounded in the social realities of today.
