Dhadak 2 Day 2 India Box Office Collection Hits ₹2.47 Cr
Lead:
Dhadak 2, directed by Shazia Iqbal, collected Rs 2.47 crore* on its second day in Indian theatres (Saturday, August 2, 2025). The romance‑drama stars Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. It opened amid stiff competition from Son of Sardaar 2 and Saiyaara.
On its first day (Friday), the film earned Rs 3.35 crore* at the box office and logged about 22.85% Hindi occupancy. Its day‑two India net stands at Rs 2.47 crore*, bringing the two‑day total to Rs 5.82 crore. Overall occupancy slipped to 22.11% on Saturday, per Sacnilk data.
Trade experts reported, “As of now, it earned around Rs 1.8 crore on Day 2 and may close at Rs 4–4.5 crore.” Midnight updates by filmibeat guided this projection.
Director Shazia Iqbal’s production banner posted, “Mohabbat ka safar has just begun… and it’s only getting more beautiful!” alongside the ₹4.31 crore* opening day total on its official X handle. The post hailed its early numbers as encouraging.
Lead actress Triptii Dimri described her character’s journey unfolding into personal courage: “I told Shazia that I want to be like Vidhi; that by the end of this film, I should have the courage to speak my truth.”
Occupancy across regions was uneven.
Major metros like Mumbai and Delhi‑NCR registered about 21–32% occupancy. Bengaluru saw higher turnout at 37%, and Pune reached 19%. Night shows saw little traction.
Weekend competition remains fierce.
Son of Sardaar 2 tapped into comedy and pulled nearly double opening numbers. Meanwhile, Saiyaara continues its run, drawing consistent audiences in its third week of release.
Background & Outlook
Dhadak 2 is a sequel to the 2018 sleeper hit Dhadak and a remake of the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal. Its release was delayed from November 2024 to August 2025 due to CBFC certification hurdles.
The film relies on word‑of‑mouth momentum and weekend growth at multiplexes. However, its heavy subject matter and poor occupancy put pressure its outlook. Analysts say Day 3 and 4 turnout will be critical.
Marketing now focuses on strong reviews and scenes that strike emotional chords. But for Dhadak 2 to reach its Rs 40–50 crore breakeven, weekday numbers must improve. Its sharper competition and modest start make this a challenging run.
