by Critic reviews and ratings for Bollywood’s romantic drama film Dhadak 2, starring Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi in the lead roles, are now out. This highly awaited spiritual sequel to Dhadak (2018) was released in theatres across India on August 1, 2025.
Although expectations for Dhadak 2’s lifetime collections are modest due to the relatively lesser star power of its lead actors and the fact that it will face direct competition from Son of Sardaar 2, Saiyaara, and Mahavatar Narsimha right from its release day.
According to initial impressions from critics and expert analysts, this is one of Tripti Dimri’s first Bollywood films that truly showcases her acting talent, rather than simply featuring her to attract viewers with her well-toned body.
Star Ratings Given to Dhadak 2 by Critics on X:
Here are the star ratings from some of the most respected film critics on the X platform:
- Taran Adarsh: 3.5 stars out of 5
- Navneet Mundhra: 2 stars out of 5
- CineHub: 3.5 stars out of 5

- Filmi Indian: 3.5 stars out of 5
- Suraj Kumar: 3.5 stars out of 5
- Charcha with Bhurani: 6 out of 10 stars

Judging by the reviews from both X and YouTube critics, Dhadak 2 is mostly receiving an average rating of around 3.5 stars out of 5. Experts say it is quite an impactful film that portrays some harsh realities of today’s Indian society. However, if you have seen the original, some of the heart-wrenching scenes in this sequel may not resonate as strongly.
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri are receiving considerable praise for their brilliant performances, with their on-screen chemistry shining throughout the film. However, the makers have not done a strong enough job promoting the film, which might affect its chances of achieving satisfactory lifetime box office collections in India.
