Trade Analysts’ Take on Day 2 Growth

Trade expert Taran Adarsh tweeted that the jump on Day 2 is “healthy and expected for films with positive audience sentiment.” According to Pinkvilla, the film may touch ₹30 crore by the end of Sunday if the growth continues. This indicates a strong start for a film with no superstar headliner.

What’s Fueling the Growth?

• Strong Word-of-Mouth: Especially among the youth audience and tier-2 cities.
• Music: Songs like “Ishq Wahi Purana” and “Raat Bhar” are trending on YouTube and Instagram reels.
• Emotional Plot: The story’s core theme — caste-based love struggle — is resonating deeply.

Competition at the Box Office

While Dhadak 2 faces competition from “Mr. & Mrs. Mahi” and “Blackout”, it has clearly taken the lead in terms of both reviews and revenue. The youth-centric narrative and Dharma branding are giving it an edge over other releases this week.
