Taran Adarsh reviews Dhadak 2

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to X (formerly Twitter) and shared a brief review about Karan Johar's upcoming romantic drama. He called the film 'hard-hitting.' Giving 3.5 stars, Adarsh mentioned the second half was 'captivating and emotionally charged.'

His review read, Sharp writing... Captivating, emotionally charged second half... Solid performances... #Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part. #Dhadak2Review Debutante director #ShaziaIqbal tackles a sensitive theme with honesty and restraint."


"The first half feels unevenmdasha few impactful moments aside, the narrative takes time to find its footinghellip But the interval episode turns the tide, setting the stage for a gripping and emotionally charged second half. It's the post-interval portions that truly elevate the narrativemdashthe drama is riveting, and the emotional graph soarshellip The finalemdashthe chase followed by #Siddhant's intense outburstmdashis an absolute knockout," he concluded.

Dhadak 2 will see a theatrical release on August 1. It will clash with Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's Son of Sardaar.
