Dhadak 2 Movie Review: Watch or Skip?
Dhadak 2
Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer Dhadak 2 was released in cinemas today on August 1. It was the most anticipated film of the year.
But is the film worth your time and money? Read this quick Dhadak 2 review before booking your movie tickets.
Dhadak 2 review: What`s good?
The movie revolves around casteism, making Siddhant Chaturvedi a target of belonging from a lower caste and suffocating him with oppression.
Triptii Dimri brings back her intensity from `Laila Majnu,` matching Siddhant`s magnetic performance in several scenes. This is inarguably their best work.
Director Shazia Ahmed`s subtle yet symbolical use of the blue palette in alignment with the Jai Bhim movement truly deserves a pat on her back.
Dhadak 2 review: What doesn`t work?
Unlike the original Pariyerum Perumal, the Bollywood drama holds back on making edgy, undaunting commentary on the subject it demands.
What could`ve been a more powerful political narrative dilutes to become a rather softened and convenient climax to dodge the censorship or controversy.
Dhadak 2 review: Final verdict
Siddhant Chaturvedi, Triptii Dimri, and the rest of the cast shine in a brave but restrained attempt to make an honest film on India`s caste system.
