Dhadak Review
Dhadak Review by top film critics.

Dhadak is ultimately a homogenous Karan Johar production that offers comfort in the familiar…for those seeking it. For the rest of us, it’s just baffling why the folks involved would choose to remake a film about the horrors of caste supremacy, but erase practically every mention of caste from the film. I’m going with two-and-a-half out of five. The kids make it worth your time.

Shashank Khaitan adapts #Sairat wonderfully well… Retains the essence, but gives #Dhadak a different texture… Romance is fresh, pure and energetic… Tense moments keep you on tenterhooks… Culmination leaves you shocked, stunned and speechless… Dhadak dips in the post-interval portions, has a few rough edges too, but the shocking finale makes you forget the hiccups.

Khatter has a mobile, expressive face. He is a natural. Kapoor, though, has a hard time emoting. On their own, they each have a couple of scenes which they work: together, there is no zing, no `zingaaat’. There will be a modern contemporary Bollywood romance posting new frontiers on the caste-and-class front. Dhadak is not it.

But that definitely isn’t meant to be an inspiration for Dhadak to shrug off its inertia. The film saunters rather than sprints. In Sairat, that strategy clicked famously because that film had its heart in the right place. Dhadak doesn’t. The result is a grind that pretty frames and fresh faces cannot mitigate.

Like its original inspiration, Nagraj Manjule’s Sairat, the facet of love trying to survive the cruel world of politics and ruthless societal pressure, makes Dhadak engaging. The film follows the Sairat template for most part, but it does change a few scenes and the setting. While it lacks the grit and detail of Manjule’s original, director Shashank Khaitan’s Hindi adaptation still makes for a compelling watch. Dhadak attempts to highlight some shocking truths about our society and for that it makes a worthy watch.
Sridevi Couldn’t See Dhadak
Sridevi left no stone upturned to prepare daughter Jhanvi for her Bollywood debut. Unfortunately Sridevi couldn’t see the big day as she passed away due to accidental drowning, few months before Dhadak released.
