Janhvi's Kapoor's debut film Dhadak, also starring Ishaan Khatter, has earned Rs 33.67 crore at the box office, trade analyst Taran Adarsh reports. The film has managed to put an 'impressive total' of Rs 25 crore over the weekend and Mr Adarsh adds that if the earnings are 'consistent' during the weekdays, Dhadak will put up a 'strong' week one. Dhadak is a remake of Marathi film Sairat and is directed by Shashank Khaitan while Karan Johar has produced it. On the opening day, Dhadak made a significant business of Rs 8.71 crore, which was higher than Karan Johar's Student Of The Year (Rs 8 crore).
Here's the box office report of Janhvi and Ishaan's Dhadak.
Dhadak opened to mixed reviews on Friday. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave Dhadak 2 stars out of 5. "An attempted makeover of a tested storyline is never more than a handful of missteps away from turning into an outright mauling. The latter is exactly what Dhadak metes out to Nagraj Manjule's 2016 Marathi sleeper hit Sairat. A muddled screenplay, bland storytelling and uneven lead performances leave this glossy film without a proper, palpable heartbeat," he wrote.
Of the comparison between Dhadak and Sairat, Janhvi Kapoor earlier told news agency IANS, "Sairat is really special and iconic film but we are trying to show that story through new perspective. We just want one chance from the audience to watch the film as we have made this with lot of hard work and honesty."
Dhadak also stars Ashutosh Rana, Kharaj Mukherjee and Aishwarya Narkar.
