Shazia Iqbal’s directorial, Dhadak 2, which was released on August 1, 2025, alongside Son of Sardaar 2 at the Indian box office, received quite positive reviews from critics. But did those reviews translate into big box office numbers? You’ll find the answer in this first 7-day income report for the film.
Starring Siddhant Chaturvedi as the male lead alongside Bollywood’s sultry siren Tripti Dimri as the female lead, Dhadak 2 received an average rating of 3.5 stars from most critics. However, the biggest setback for this film is its lack of an original script, as it is a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018). Moreover, the filmmakers have used their PR machinery to the fullest extent while promoting this movie.

Dhadak 2’s success at the Indian box office depends heavily on the public’s word of mouth. The film was initially supposed to release on November 22, 2024, but after multiple delays due to Censor Board clearance, it finally hit the big screens on August 1, 2025.
Three major Indian production companies—Zee Studios, Dharma Productions, and Cloud 9 Pictures—have invested in Dhadak 2. If the film fails at the box office, it will be interesting to see who faces the brunt of the setback: the producers, the lead actors, or the director.
