Dhadak 2 Movie Review: Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri's film on caste, conflict and courage hits hard

In the second half of Dhadak 2, the protagonist Neelesh (a Law student) - played flawlessly by Siddhant Chaturvedi - is seen in his principal's room. It is during this serious meeting with the principal that he is advised to never fear a fight.

Neelesh is told, "Marne aur ladne mei se agar ek ko chun na ho, toh ladna" (If you ever have to make a choice between death and battle, then make sure you opt for the fight for your survival). The principal’s words are firm, and Neelesh is convinced that if he is forced to fight for his survival because of being from a lower caste, then he must fight. Reason?

Nobody has the right to deny him his dignity, safety, and future. He knows he wouldn't accept oppression as his fate. What happens after this crucial sequence will inspire many to challenge oppression, raise their voice against such discriminations, rise with courage and live with pride.
