Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 4: Is It Heading for Disaster?
Dhadak 2 was released theatrically on August 1, 2025. After five days in cinemas, the box office collections have been disappointing, raising concerns about the movie’s commercial viability.
Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection (Aug 1 – Aug 5, 2025)
| Day | Collection (INR) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (August 1, Friday) | ₹4.1 crore |
| Day 2 (August 2, Saturday) | ₹3.6 crore |
| Day 3 (August 3, Sunday) | ₹2.8 crore |
| Day 4 (August 4, Monday) | ₹2.1 crore |
| Day 5 (August 5, Tuesday) | ₹1.7 crore |
The total domestic net collection after five days stands at approximately ₹14.3 crore. The steady decline in daily collections and occupancy rates indicates weak word-of-mouth publicity and limited audience connect.
Why Is Dhadak 2 Underperforming?
- Weak Storyline: Critics mention the film lacks emotional depth and originality.
- Newcomer Cast: The lead actors have not matched the charisma and screen presence of the original stars Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter.
- Sequel Fatigue: The sequel failed to recreate the charm of the original, which was itself a remake of the celebrated Marathi film Sairat.
- Audience Disconnect: Social media feedback suggests viewers struggled to connect with the characters and plot.
Critical and Public Reaction
Reviews lean towards mixed or negative, with Pinkvilla rating the movie 2 out of 5 stars, calling it “a visually decent yet emotionally hollow experience.” Social media channels are filled with memes and questions about the necessity of the sequel.

Comparing Dhadak 2 with the Original (2018)
The original Dhadak earned over ₹33 crore in its opening weekend and ₹75+ crore lifetime, boosted by star debuts and hit music. Contrarily, Dhadak 2’s cumulative collection of ₹14.3 crore after five days points to a disappointing run unlikely to cross ₹30 crore.
Prospects for Recovery
The outlook for a theatrical recovery is bleak due to intense competition from films like Pushpa 2 and Sarfira. However, digital streaming on Amazon Prime Video might provide some financial relief once the film goes online.
Streaming and Satellite Rights
The digital rights for Dhadak 2 have reportedly been acquired by Amazon Prime Video, although an official announcement is still pending.
Final Verdict
The Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection up to Day 5 underscores the movie’s struggle to attract and retain audiences despite strong production support. Unless there is a significant change in viewer sentiment, this sequel is poised to be one of the less successful Bollywood releases in 2025.
