Ishaan Khattar and Janhvi Kapoor’s Dhadak has fared well despite the mixed reviews. The newcomers have made an impression on the audience. It has crossed the 50 crore mark in the first week and is still raking in the moolah. This week we saw the release of films like Nawabzaade, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster 3 and Mission Impossible: Fallout. The film has made Rs 2.61 crore in its second Friday and the numbers are expected to get better over the weekend. It has become the highest grossing film featuring newcomers from Dharma Productions. The previous record was held by Student of the Year featuring Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra.

Dhadak is the official remake of the Marathi blockbuster, Sairat directed by Nagraj Manjule. It tells the tale of two caste-crossed lovers who are victims of honour killing. The Hindi version is directed by Shashank Khaitan who has made films like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. People have loved Janhvi’s screen presence and Ishaan’s effortless expressions and natural acting. Even stalwarts like Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit Nene have showered love on the film. With films like Soorma and Sanju faring decently it was no cakewalk for Dhadak.
This is surely a moment to rejoice for the Kapoor family that lost Sridevi when the film’s shooting just about started. However, Janhvi gathered herself and completed her shoot. We are sure this is just the start for the charming newcomers. Stay tuned to BL for more scoop and updates!
