Watched Dhadak online...
Positive points :
Jahnvi is so much better than what we saw of her in the trailer ... And Ishan though was nice but never really over shadows her ...I have to say I am impressed with Jahnvi than Ishan...
Jahnvi was quite good in the 1st half ...
Ishan's friends acted well... Very good casting ... I loved the scene when they reunite with Ishan and Jahnvi in the 2nd half ... Actor Kharaj as the hostel owner was good as usual ( Bengalis would know him, he is a seasoned actor)
Good background music...the Dhadak song really stands out.
The different climax was impactful.

Negative Points :

Shashank Khaitan's screenplay is the biggest drawback of the film... The 2 Nd half did not really hit me hard coz their hardships do not seem hard ...it seems easy to go and settle down in another city ... The film fails to engage me in the 2nd half coz their characters failed to connect me with their struggle..
Shashank should have kept the entire series of scenes like that of Sairat where Archi storms into the police station ,tears the papers ...it was quite impactful ...IMO Jahnvi would have done that well coz she pulled off that gun scene quite well...
Ashutosh Rana's acting was disappointing.
Ishaan has a strong Shahid ness in his acting...he has to let that go.

All in all a strictly one time watch with a decent 1st half and a poor 2nd half ..
Biggest gainer from this film should be Jahnvi...she is here to stay.

Unfortunately, I am one of those people who watched Sairat before watching this one. I say unfortunate, because there is no way you can watch Dhadak without comparing it to Sairat. Sairat is a masterpiece in that regard.

This is not to say that Dhadak is a bad movie but there is nothing path-breaking about it.


Im glad u phrased it this way cos everyone's keep asking to keep the differences away which is quite impossible

It is not humanely possible ...also coz Sairat is not just another hit regional film...it was this cult blockbuster ...and still fresh in people's minds ...it was not only watched by Marathis but non Marathis too

I know I wish I could look at this movie as standalone but it is impossible because majority of the scenes are exactly same - even the songs. I went with a friend who hadn't watched Sairat, needless to say she enjoyed it more than me.

Just watched the film. I lovvved it. Direction and acting was very good. Ishan and Janhvi are my new favorite actors from now on. It's was so refreshing to see new faces act so well in their first film. Both of them deserve some awards this year for their sheer dedication. They did not take their acting lightly even though they are from a well known filmy background. I think this is the director's best movie till now. Sorry for comparing it with sanju but i have recently seen that so comparing but dhadak is way way better than even sanju. Ishan was flawless, janhvi suprised me. I don't want to even talk about any of their drawbacks which doesn't matter because their acting was better than even many of our current veterans. So spontaneous, varied emotions. Perfect launch for these two. I'm sure who ever watches the movie will not hate it. If you do.. you are either lying, want to unnecessarily pull them down coz you are mad fan of sairat's actors. Dhadak actually is different. I wouldn't call it a remake. It's just an adaptation. It's treated differently for obvious reasons (dharma's commercial movie stap) but it's still effective and engrossing. I loved the first half but contrary to many people i liked the 2nd half as well. Very nice acting, editing, direction. Songs are also nice. Not boring at all. So yep! Loved it :)

If the film does well and Jahnvi gets good reviews (or even decent reviews), she will be hailed as the next big thing. A star kid delivering a decent performance in her first film is equivalent to an outsider pulling off a Joker on debut (Alia in Highway for example😆). Am more curious to see what KJo does after this and if the film is successful, how he divides films between Jahnvi and Alia🤣



"Nepotism debate be damned".. according to Anupama Chopra.. They were both decent in the opportunity thrown into their lap.. That's why we shouldn't resent opportunities being deprived from potential Vidya Balans, or Priyanks or someone with screen presence of Shahrukh.

I do feel critics are occasionally bias towards star kids as well.

I want to talk about a few scenes that stood out for me

Stop reading now below are some spoilers:


1. End of Pehli Baar when Ishaan is in the pool and Janhvi says get out, the way they looked at each other my god... electrifying chemistry

2. First time Ishaan was on Janhvi's balcony - this is where she looked like sri a lot

3. When Janhvi yells at the teacher who was trying to ask her where her attention is hahaha so funny

4. Janvhi's gun scene where she saves Ishaan

5. When Ishaan gets jealous of Janhvi's chaat eating - probably his best acting in the entire movie.

6. Their reunion after the slap and delivery of the dialogues were epic.

7. When Ishaan insults Janhvi in front of his friends - her expressions were so on point

8. Both of Janvhi's breakdown scenes

9. Ishaans phonecall to his dad. Very well enacted

10. When Ishaan enters his home and sees Janvhi's family sitting and there an awkward 10-15 seconds Hahahaha probably the funniest scene for me.
