The lead pair shares solid chemistry, making the love story believable and heartfelt in key scenes.

[{"selector":"#anim-f49b21ea-1166-4d39-80dd-06a66cd5c9de","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.25001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b5f366d8-f462-4926-8640-ba0e5ce69ba8","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4ba56f94-388d-4f19-b1fb-a544ff371355","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Saurabh Sachdeva’s chilling presence adds unexpected tension—his character leaves a lasting impact.

[{"selector":"#anim-30baafec-4b18-4b91-9b27-957d438bc4a0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.25001%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c5de7bc4-772d-4770-9f27-f0d3c60da020","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d8062ed6-6844-4816-a568-c015df97096d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Debut director Shazia Iqbal handles sensitive themes with nuance, honesty, and surprising restraint.

[{"selector":"#anim-9bff0ed0-d6a7-4d44-8330-7dc30220321f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(110.625%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ac72116d-2574-40df-8558-5dd90345ca28","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fe5b0b0d-1e60-4c58-9058-880fedabead6","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The climax—especially Siddhant’s outburst—is intense, haunting, and deeply memorable.

[{"selector":"#anim-ad86d257-b51b-4603-9976-ee28b733de25","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ab0bf881-33b2-4304-857f-95893631a7d0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9bd0a147-2149-4354-96e3-928f1829b622","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The film subtly addresses caste and gender inequality without over-explaining, which adds quiet strength.

[{"selector":"#anim-6074c8ba-7ef5-42c6-99f0-9926fd7739da","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-12bc4f9e-bbb0-4f6c-a812-923eb8f0d984","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-3a67d237-af48-4834-b8ff-2001ec3f391c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The soundtrack works but misses that one soul-stirring anthem the original film had.

[{"selector":"#anim-0696a514-37ae-43e8-998e-26345a468bb4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-981a0d41-44f4-4a82-b373-76c7f0538eb0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7889d10f-3afb-41bf-84da-3017dcb6cec2","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Dhadak 2 doesn’t rely on glamour—it’s raw, emotional, and refreshingly real in its storytelling.

[{"selector":"#anim-6c78bdca-74a0-4de4-8b70-4a993844f26c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(111.56251%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d3832114-752d-4af3-b963-0b73b3cf72fb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-db6af261-809d-4160-b94b-247c2da5d0f5","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]
