Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, ‘Dhadak 2’ is a hard-hitting caste drama that explores the themes of social hierarchy, oppression, and rebellion. The film tells the story of a young man from a lower caste who falls in love with a woman from a higher caste, leading to a series of events that challenge the social norms of the society.
Siddhant Chaturvedi, who has been making waves with his performances in films like ‘Gully Boy’ and ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’, shines in his role as the protagonist.

The film’s direction by Tarun Mansukhani is also noteworthy. He handles the sensitive subject matter with care and sensitivity, without shying away from exploring the harsh realities of caste-based discrimination.

Additionally, the film’s climax can be seen as a bit of a letdown, with some viewers feeling that it doesn’t quite live up to the promise of the rest of the film.
Despite these minor drawbacks, ‘Dhadak 2’ is a powerful and thought-provoking film that is sure to leave a lasting impact on its viewers. The performances by Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri are outstanding, and the direction by Tarun Mansukhani is commendable.
In conclusion, ‘Dhadak 2’ is a hard-hitting caste drama that is sure to resonate with audiences. With its powerful performances, thought-provoking narrative, and sensitive direction, it’s a must-watch for anyone who is interested in exploring the complexities of Indian society.
