Dhadak 2

Director Shazia Iqbal has adapted a gritty and hard hitting screenplay that works well with its rawness and realism, but at moments feels a bit underutilised. The film revolves around the love story of "unequals" set in a law college in central India. Right from the first scene, a tone is set which separates the film from being a typical romantic movie. Siddhant Chaturvedi delivers a performance that will be one of the highlights of his career. Triptii Dimri justifies her character and stands as the strength of the narrative. Saurabh Sachdeva's character is pure evil and Vipin Sharma plays his part gracefully. Priyank Tiwari, Saad Bilgrami and Zakir Hussain leave a lasting image.

The interval scene is tragic and raw, one that wil make theatres go dead silent. A few intense and tragic moments are beautifully conveyed in silent scenes just through zoom-ins and audio flashbacks. The background score and the songs blend in quite well, elevating the emotions at the right time, although a few songs stretch the runtime and drift away from the intense nature of the film. The film suffers from abrupt cuts, edits and noticable lip sync that is way off at crucial moments like the climax, probably due to CBFC edits. Overall, the film manages to spark discussions that everybody wishes to avoid. You can watch it in theatres for its storytelling that stays close to realism and rawness.

ERALL 6.25/10.

Amazing gut wrenching and true mirror of the indian society. People that are not enjoying this film are themselves casteist. The filmmakers have captured the essence of the so called caste systen put in place by the british that some people wear it as a honour badge proudly and discrimination against the "lower" castes. Highly recommend this movie. In the same era as Abrahim and Khushi, please support Tripti and Siddhant.
