Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 3
Dhadak 2’s performance at the box office has every teenager and young Bollywood fan talking, but maybe not for all the reasons the makers were hoping. Released on August 1, this Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri starrer was hyped as a spiritual successor to 2018’s Dhadak, and honestly, everyone thought it would come out the gates swinging. Three days in, though, it’s feeling more like a slow burn than a firecracker.
According to Sacnilk, Dhadak 2 earned ₹4.25 crore on day 3 (Sunday). That makes the opening weekend total ₹11.5 crore in India (net collection), as per early estimates and Sacnilk figures. For a film with so much buzz, that’s just... okay. It’s not a disaster, but given the expectations set by its marketing and the cast, folks are feeling slightly let down.
On X/Twitter, @praneetsamaiya: " Dhadak 2 sees slight growth on Day 2 amid tough competition, with Sunday expected to be its peak before the real test begins Monday."
Day 1 opened with ₹3.5 crore, day 2 picked up a little (₹3.75 crore), and day 3 landed the highest total yet, but not by much. Compared to big releases out this week like Son of Sardaar 2 and the still-raging Saiyaara, Dhadak 2 is definitely feeling the competition.
On X/Twitter, @cine_tales: "Dhadak 2 opens decently and leads competitors, with positive buzz likely boosting its weekend numbers."
Overall Collections
Now let’s look at the full picture—Dhadak 2’s overall collections so far. The total Indian net after three days is about ₹11.5 crore. India gross collection stands a bit higher, close to ₹14 crore, and the estimates for worldwide gross aren’t locked in yet, but it’s very likely just above ₹14 crore, with only minor overseas business as of now.
Here’s a quick breakdown (all figures as per public Sacnilk reporting and news outlets quoting them):
-
Day 1 (Friday): ₹3.5 crore
-
Day 2 (Saturday): ₹3.75 crore
-
Day 3 (Sunday): ₹4.25 crore
-
Opening Weekend India Net Total: ₹11.5 crore
It’s not flatlining, but Dhadak 2 hasn’t turned into that big youth sensation either. What’s making it tough: Son of Sardaar 2 is cruising past ₹18 crore, and Saiyaara is still minting big numbers well into its third week. Tough box office timing for this romantic drama.
Why Teens and Young Fans Should Still Care
So, does this mean you can skip Dhadak 2? Actually, if you’re into films that go a bit deeper, this one tackles serious stuff like caste and social divides while weaving in romance and drama. Shazia Iqbal’s direction brings a raw vibe, and Siddhant Chaturvedi with Triptii Dimri totally deliver on-screen—their chemistry and acting are easily Dhadak 2’s strongest point. Young desi cinephiles looking for more than just popcorn fun might find something here to root for.
How’s the Hype on Social Media?
The movie’s trending on Bollywood fan accounts, and Sacnilk’s official handle has posted its daily numbers, but there’s a general “could’ve been better” feeling. Fans are sharing reviews, but there’s as much chat about the film's bold themes as the slow-ish collections. If you’re scrolling Instagram or Twitter, you’ll spot memes, box office stat-cards, and hot takes all over your feed—some rooting for Dhadak 2 to pick up steam, others already calling it a mid-tier performer.
On X/Twitter, @p4pratima: "Watched #Dhadak2 and it’s a powerful, emotional film with top-notch performances. Siddhant shines in his best role yet, Triptii impresses, and Saurabh Sachdeva & Vipin Sharma are outstanding. The serious storyline hits hard, the music is excellent, and overall it’s a 9.5/10."
On another X/Twitter, @Sheetal2242: "#Dhadak2 outshines Saiyaara – definitely worth watching!"
Is Dhadak 2 a Hit or Miss?
For its opening weekend, Dhadak 2 is stuck in the middle. Not a flop, but nowhere near blockbuster territory—at least, that’s what the latest box office figures from Sacnilk are telling us. The movie still has a shot to pull in the college crowd and music lovers with its emotional story and performances, but it’s got a tough road ahead if it wants to be more than just this summer’s “almost” movie.
Numbers aside, if you’re looking for something to watch that tries a bit harder than the average Friday flick, Dhadak 2 is worth a shot. Maybe just don’t show up expecting a box office record-breaker—at least, not yet.
