Day 1 Collections – India and Worldwide

India Net Collection (Day 1): ₹3.35 crore
As per data from trade sources and trackers, Dhadak 2 opened to ₹3.35 crore net on its first day across India. This performance fell short of expectations, especially considering the legacy of its predecessor.

India Gross Collection (Day 1): ₹4.31 crore
The gross figure before tax adjustments stood at ₹4.31 crore for Day 1.

Worldwide Gross Collection (Day 1): ₹4.5 crore (approx.)
The film’s overseas performance was minimal, contributing marginally to the overall figure. As a result, the total Day 1 worldwide gross was capped at approximately ₹4.5 crore.

Day-wise Collection (India Net)
Day 1 (Friday): ₹3.35 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): Early estimates suggest the film reached a total of nearly ₹5 crore by the end of Day 2, indicating slow momentum.

Occupancy and Screen Count
Average Occupancy (Hindi): 22–23%
Morning Shows: ~15%
Evening/Night Shows: ~30%
Screens in India: ~1,000
Screens Worldwide: ~1,400

The film suffered due to limited screen allocation, with other major titles such as Saiyaara, Kingdom, and Son of Sardaar 2 occupying prime shows and multiplex space.

Competition on August 1 Release Window
Son of Sardaar 2: ₹6.65–6.75 crore India Net (Day 1)
Kingdom: ₹16+ crore India Net (Day 1, estimated)
Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha continued to dominate in terms of word-of-mouth and audience footfall.

Critical Reception and Public Feedback
While Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri’s performances were largely appreciated by critics, the film’s restrained narrative and grounded treatment failed to create mass appeal. Reviews praised the emotional undertone and realism but cited a lack of novelty and slow pacing as drawbacks.

Early reviews highlighted that Dhadak 2 resonated with urban youth audiences, especially in metro regions, but lacked traction in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.

Summary Table

Outlook and Industry Verdict
Compared to Dhadak (2018), which earned ₹8.71 crore on Day 1, Dhadak 2 failed to capitalize on brand recall. Despite being a spiritual follow-up, the film could not achieve a strong start, especially against stiff box office competition. Its Day 1 performance ranks at the lower end among August 1 releases.

The weekend holds moderate potential. If word-of-mouth builds, the film might touch ₹13–15 crore net by Sunday. However, it will need sustained weekday traction to recover costs.
