Plot overview
Plot of 'Dhadak 2'
Dhadak 2 delves into the harsh realities of caste discrimination in contemporary India. Chaturvedi plays Neelesh Ahirwar, a law student from a lower caste, while Dimri plays Vidhi Bhardwaj, his upper-caste classmate. Their romance faces stiff opposition from Vidhi's family, who are staunchly casteist. The film highlights how education and identity intersect with systemic oppression as it unfolds primarily within a fictional Bhopal law school setting.
Release challenges
Delay in release and box office performance
Dhadak 2's release was delayed several times due to technical issues and CBFC clearance problems. Originally slated for November 22, 2024, it was pushed to February 21, 2025, before finally hitting theaters on August 1, 2025. Despite its honest portrayal of caste discrimination and emotional depth, the film struggled at the box office with earnings of around ₹29 crore.
