Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri`s Dhadak 2 is one of the most anticipated films of the year, and it finally has a release date. The film, which recently got a clean chit from the CBFC with multiple edits, is eyeing an August 2025 release. On May 26, the makers of Dhadak 2 took to social media to announce the film’s release date.

The Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer will release in theatres on August 1. The makers shared this exciting news with two intriguing posters. While one showed Siddhant giving a dead stare as Triptii hugged him, the other showed the actress crying as she held her co-star close. The poster features a powerful line that reads, “Marne aur ladne mein se ek ko chunna ho to ladna.”

CBFC suggests changes in Dhadak 2

According to a report by The Hindu, Dhadak 2 has been granted a ‘U/A 16+’ certification. A Hindi dialogue stating, “3,000 years of backlog will not be cleared in just 70 years,” has been changed to, “The backlog of age-old discrimination will not be cleared in just 70 years.” A 5-second shot of an actor urinating on Nilesh (Chaturvedi) was censored. Additionally, the use of casteist slurs like “cha***” and “bha***” has been muted and replaced with “junglee.” A 3-minute scene featuring the lead actor’s father being humiliated was also trimmed. Moreover, a scene involving violence against a woman was cut to a black screen.

Directed by the proficient Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 explores the barriers of class, caste, and status stitched into the fabric of society, underscoring a narrative of love that can never be fulfilled—or can it? The film follows Siddhant’s character as he navigates a love story that challenges societal expectations and constraints.

At an earlier event, Siddhant said, “We have made a really strong and rooted film. Usually, I have been approached for urban roles, but I come from Ballia, a small town in UP, and this is my first time exploring such a genre.”

Dhadak 2 is an official remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal (2018). The film was initially planned for a November 2024 release but was delayed. It is produced by Zee Studios, Dharma Productions, and Cloud 9 Pictures, and also stars Ashutosh Rana, Kharaj Mukherjee, and Aditya Kumar.

Dhadak 2 is a spiritual sequel to the popular film Dhadak, featuring Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter, which was released in 2018. That film was the Hindi remake of the Marathi blockbuster Sairat.
