Following the outrage against the Hindi film industry for indulging in nepotism and discouraging talented outsiders, the release of 'Sadak 2' was not only mistimed, but a tragedy waiting to happen.With its official release on Disney+Hotstar on August 28, 2020, the reactions that followed from critics and fans echoed that the Alia Bhatt-Sanjay Dutt-Aditya Roy Kapur starrer is abysmally bad with an outdated script and shoddy acting.Directed by Mahesh Bhatt, the reviews by critics added fuel to the fire with users taking to the IMDB website and rating it to the lowest with only 1 star rating, a ranking lower than Ajay Devgn's 'Himmatwala' and Himesh Reshammiya's 'Karzzz'.From the minute its trailer dropped on social media, netizens went after the film, making the trailer, the third most disliked video on YouTube.
