Starring Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, the film 'Dhadak 2' was highly anticipated by audiences and critics alike, but it has failed to live up to those expectations.

Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 5: The highly anticipated romantic drama 'Dhadak 2' has failed to captivate audiences at the box office.

- Day 2: ₹3.75 crore
- Day 3: ₹4.15 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹1.35 crore
- Day 5 (Tuesday): ₹1.60 crore (as per Sacnilk's early trend report)

Intense Competition as a Reason
'Dhadak 2' was released at a time when the musical romantic drama 'Saiyaara' was highly popular among audiences. The fresh pairing of Ahaan Pandey and Anit Padda was preferred by audiences, and the Tripti-Siddhant pairing failed to make a significant impact in comparison. Additionally, the b opening of films like 'Son of Sardar 2' and 'Mahavatar Narasimha' also affected 'Dhadak 2's screen presence and its ability to attract viewers. In this intense competition, it became difficult for 'Dhadak 2' to find its place in theaters.
The total budget of 'Dhadak 2' is approximately ₹45 crore, of which ₹35 crore was spent on production and ₹10 crore on marketing and promotion. Looking at the figures for the first five days, the film has not even touched the ₹15 crore mark, making it clear that the film will have to struggle significantly to recover its costs. If the film maintains the same trend in the coming weekend, it could be declared a box office flop.
'Dhadak 2' Story and Starcast
'Dhadak 2' is directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. This film is considered a spiritual sequel to the hit film 'Dhadak' released in 2018. The film's story depicts serious issues like inter-caste love and social oppression. Siddhant Chaturvedi and Tripti Dimri have done justice to their characters in the film, and their performances have been praised by critics and on social media.
However, despite b performances and a social message, the film failed to bring audiences to the theater. While critics praised 'Dhadak 2's cinematography, screenplay, and acting, general audiences criticized it for its slow pace and lack of emotional connection.
