Dhadak 2 Review And Rating: Ever walked into a theatre with low expectations and walked out completely blown away? That’s exactly what happened as I sat and watched the 2 hours and 26 minutes long Dhadak 2 starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. The movie, to my surprise, can easily be one of the best released so far.
The Plot:
In the 21st century, do we still need reservations in colleges and other places? When you go deeper into the system, you realise that the years might have changed, but the mindset? Not much. Dhadak 2 is a story set in a similar background.
A boy named Nilesh, who is said to be from an alleged “backwards” caste, tries hard to get into a college to pursue law. However, when he finally takes admission, he encounters a new battle, that of caste. He falls in love with Nidhi Upadhyay, but the two must fight every odd to stay together. The film presents their struggle as they protest against the system.When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty,” is the mantra of this Siddhant and Triptii starrer.
Performances:
Siddhant Chaturvedi steals the show in this film. He doesn’t just play Nilesh, he becomes him. His sincerity on screen is so raw that every slap, every insult he endures hits the audience just as hard. He makes us believe in the honesty of his character, and by the end, you’re rooting for him with your whole heart. A true green-flag boy, as Vidhi would say. The green flag boy—away from the “men’s problem,” as Vidhi likes to call it.
Meanwhile, Triptii Dimri does an equally compelling job. The innocence and the charm she had was somewhere getting lost in the glamour and glitz of some of her previous projects. But with Dhadak 2, she does justice to her role as Vidhi Upadhyay. Triptii comes across as a girl you can find in your household or maybe in your neighbourhood. She is that believable, and it’s a total win.
