What the critics say
Critics widely praise Dhadak 2's bold caste-and-class critique, Chaturvedi's standout performance and Iqbal's direction, but many call it too speechy, softened by censorship, or uneven, landing between courageous and compromised.

When Neelesh, an idealistic law student from a marginalised section of society, steps into a prestigious institution, he is thrust into a world that doesn't reflect his own. His friendship with Vidhi offers hope-until a wave of tragedy exposes the deep-rooted hierarchies he tried to outrun. He must confront the invisible forces that shape who we are allowed to become and who we are allowed to love.

35
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 19 readings; 12 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
