His review read, Sharp writing... Captivating, emotionally charged second half... Solid performances... #Dhadak2 works for the most part... But the love story lacks the soul-stirring soundtrack that elevated the first part. #Dhadak2Review Debutante director #ShaziaIqbal tackles a sensitive theme with honesty and restraint."

"The first half feels uneven—a few impactful moments aside, the narrative takes time to find its footing… But the interval episode turns the tide, setting the stage for a gripping and emotionally charged second half. It`s the post-interval portions that truly elevate the narrative—the drama is riveting, and the emotional graph soars… The finale—the chase followed by #Siddhant`s intense outburst—is an absolute knockout," he concluded.
Dhadak 2 will see a theatrical release on August 1. It will clash with Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur`s Son of Sardaar.
