Dhadak 2 set for August 1 release despite rumours of postponement following Saiyaara's success

The upcoming Bollywood film 'Dhadak 2', featuring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, is set to be released on August 1, 2025. Recently, there were rumours doing the rounds that the film is likely to be postponed due to the stupendous success of director Mohit Suri's 'Saiyaara'. Despite the strong box office performance of 'Saiyaara', which has impacted several romantic dramas, the release date of 'Dhadak 2' remains unchanged.

However, producer Karan Johar is confident in the film's scheduled release. A press release from the makers read, "Dhadak 2 stays rock solid on its original release plan - 1st August. The team is going ahead confidently, riding on strong early reactions to the lead pairing of Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri." Now, 'Dhadak 2' will clash in theatres with Ajay Devgn's 'Son of Sardaar 2' in theatres.

On Monday, Karan Johar shared a clip of the film and confirmed the film's release. "Reshmi se dhaage hain, saansein daudein bhaagein hain, tere sang laagi jo Preet re! #PreetRe song out now. #Dhadak2 in cinemas on 1st August (sic)."

The romantic drama is directed by Shazia Iqbal and reportedly serves as a Hindi adaptation of the Tamil film 'Pariyerum Perumal'. The film's synopsis reveals that it follows the story of Nilesh and Vidhi, a couple whose relationship is threatened by caste differences.

The trailer and music from 'Dhadak 2' have already created a buzz, resonating well with the audience. This response has contributed to the makers' confidence in maintaining the release schedule. As 'Saiyaara' continues its strong performance, the question remains whether its momentum will wane before 'Dhadak 2' hits the screens.

Shazia Iqbal's direction is praised for its intense thematic approach and the fresh pairing of Dimri and Chaturvedi. The film aims to address important social issues through its narrative, making it a potentially impactful release.

As the release date approaches, industry analysts and fans alike are eager to see how 'Dhadak 2' will perform in a competitive market. With strong pre-release buzz and a confident production team, the film holds promise for both entertainment and critical acclaim.

With just over a week until its release, 'Dhadak 2' is poised to be a significant entry in this year's lineup of Bollywood films. The industry awaits to see if it will resonate with audiences and succeed against formidable competition.
