Some people praised the acting and direction, while others said the story is similar to the first part.
On IMDb, the movie has got a rating of 6.2 out of 10, which is average. Many people liked Triptii’s performance. The movie has opened with a decent response at the box office. The film is doing okay in metro cities, but the collection in smaller towns is not very high. As the weekend approaches, the film may collect more if the word of mouth becomes better. The audience response will decide the film’s long run.

Box Office India Net
On Day 1, Dhadak 2 collected ₹3.65 crore net in India. This amount is not very high but still acceptable for a medium-budget romantic movie. Since the lead actors are popular but not big superstars, this number is expected. The movie released on a Thursday, which is a working day, so collections were slightly low. If the reviews get better, collections may increase on Friday and Saturday. The performance in multiplexes was stronger than single screens.
The film needs to maintain steady numbers in the next few days to achieve a good total. It is important for Dhadak 2 to cross ₹25 crore net in India to be called a successful film.
Box Office India Grossed
The gross box office collection in India on Day 1 is ₹4.35 crore. Gross means the total amount collected before tax and other deductions. This number shows the total footfall in theatres. The film’s GST and other charges make the net amount slightly lower than the gross. A ₹4.35 crore gross collection is fair for this genre of movie, but it must grow by the weekend.
The response in big cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Pune helped the film. In some states like Gujarat and Bihar, the collection was lower. If more people watch it during the weekend, the gross collection will improve.
Worldwide Grossed
Worldwide, the film has earned around ₹4.96 crore gross on Day 1. This includes ₹4.35 crore from India and around ₹0.61 crore from overseas markets. The overseas performance is okay, especially in UAE and North America where the Indian audience is strong.
Triptii Dimri has gained fame internationally after her last film, so Dhadak 2 is getting some attention in overseas markets. The film released in limited screens abroad, so the earning is not very big yet. If the weekend shows growth, it can do better globally.

Day Wise Box Office
Day 1 Friday:
India Net Collection – ₹3.65 crore
India Gross Collection – ₹4.35 crore
Overseas Collection – ₹0.61 crore
Worldwide Gross – ₹4.96 crore
These numbers are early estimates from reliable sources like Sacnilk and Bollywood Hungama. Friday and Saturday numbers will be very important to see how the film performs. If the movie doubles its earnings on Saturday, it can become a success by the first weekend.
Many romantic films have a slow start but gain momentum with positive word of mouth. If families and young people like it, it can have a strong second and third day.
Hit Or Flop
At this stage, Dhadak 2 is in the average zone. It is not a flop, but also not a hit yet. The final verdict will depend on the first 5-day total. If it earns above ₹35 crore net in India, it has a chance to be a hit. If the collections drop after the weekend, then it may be considered below average.
The film has an emotional love story which appeals to a limited audience. That’s why the collections are not huge. But the performances are strong, and critics are divided, so it can become a sleeper hit if it gets support from the audience.
