News Topical, Digital Desk : After five years, the sequel of Ishaan Khattar and Janhvi Kapoor starrer Dhadak is going to be released. Recently its trailer was released. Dhadak 2 will be released in theatres on 1st August.
Dhadak was released in the year 2018
When Dhadak was released in 2018, it was rejected as a remake of Sairat. People did not like the story too much because it depicted a story of social status. A boy from a small and poor family falls in love with a girl from a rich family. But perhaps Dhadak was ahead of its time at that time, which the society could not accept then.
The song Jhingaat created a ruckus
When Dhadak was released in theatres, it was seen only as a movie that was launching two star kids, Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar. No one tried to understand the story of the film. Karan Johar's name, Dharma Productions' polish, and the Zhingaat song playing in the background, all got lost in that glitz and glamour. Everyone ignored the serious story.
The trailer of Dhadak was released recently
Now, while the trailer of Dhadak 2 is making waves and promising the start of a new chapter in this franchise, there is one truth we have to accept. For all its flaws, Dhadak dared to show us the brutality of caste-based violence and the social filth of honour killings in the framework of a mainstream Bollywood romance. It was, in many ways, ahead of its time.
Bold topic shown on screen
It exposed the reality of honour killings to audiences in multiplexes who had never seen a film based on caste before. It started discussions, albeit superficial, at the dinner table about whether caste violence still occurs in modern India. Dhadak brought the climax of Sairat to audiences across India, even those who had never seen Sairat.
What is special about Dharma Productions?
It's easy to associate Dharma Productions movies and Karan Johar with heroines dancing in chiffon saris, Pali Hill brunches and debates on nepotism. But Dhadak was a different kind of risk for the filmmaker. He not only acquired the remake rights, but also created a story that impressed audiences.
