Film critics have all appreciated the sensitivity with which this prickly subject has been handled and fans are running wild on the Net with their delighted feedback on how admirably the lead actors have played their characters. PeepingMoon.com lists five good reasons why ‘Dhadak 2’ deserves to be experienced on the big screen right away!
Powerful acting
Siddhant Chaturvedi has played the character of Neelesh with full dedication. He is innocently vulnerable. The pain of his circumstance is clearly visible in his expressions and dialogues. Triptii Dimri once again reminds viewers of 'Bulbul' and leaves an impact with her breathtaking presence on screen.
Love, amidst opposition
‘Dhadak 2’ is not just a love story, but a war against society which sees love through the tainted prism of caste. The spiritual sequel of ‘Dhadak’ of 2018 mirrors reality. Caste-based prejudices influence society even today. The lead actors are opposites. He is a Dalit. She and upper-caste. For their love to flourish in this toxic atmosphere is a bitter struggle.
Soul-stirring music
The music is already a hit. Songs like ‘Bas Ek Dhadak’ and ‘Preet Re’ beautifully portray the innocence and pain of turbulent love in a society brought up on caste differences. The background score also adds to the mood of the film.
An important film
This film, which touches upon issues like casteism, social discrimination and love in a sensitive manner, is important and relevant in today's India. It is not only a love story, but also a social commentary.
Giving new life to ‘Pariyerum Perumal’
‘Dhadak 2’ is a remake of the Tamil classic ‘Pariyerum Perumal’. It just takes the essence of the original and presents its powerful message in a completely new social and geographical setting. While the soul of the original remains untouched, the film brings a fresh perspective, making it just as relevant and impactful for the Hindi audience.
