‘Dhadak’ all set to cross the Rs 60 crore mark at the box office today!

Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor’s ‘Dhadak’ has been doing well at the box office. The film which released on 20th July is all set to cross the Rs 60 crore mark at the box office today.

This Dharma production film took a great start while registering Rs 8.71 crores on day one and it ended its first week with a collection of Rs 51. 56 crores. The film witnessed a downfall in its collection in the second week but was back with a bang on its 2nd Saturday.  ‘Dhadak’ minted Rs 2.61 crores on its 2nd Friday and Rs 4.02 crores on its 2nd Saturday taking the total to Rs 58.19 crores.

Talking about the film, producer Karan Johar was recently asked about his reaction after watching ‘Dhadak’, to which he said, “When Shashank told me that he wants to remake (Marathi film) ‘Sairat’, I was bit scared because that film has its own individuality. The kind of tone that filmmaker (Nagraj Manjule) has been able to hold is very difficult to capture but the confidence of Shashank is very infectious so, when we decided to make the film, I know it had to be with new talent.”

“When I saw the end of ‘Dhadak’, it made me shake a little bit but when I again watched it, I felt Shashank has done an exceptional job in adapting the source material,” KJo added.

Praising Khaitan further, Johar added, “He has taken lot of sequences from the original one but he made a new film and characters for pan India audience. It his third film as a director but in all three films that Shashank made, I think ‘Dhadak’ is his best film directorially.

“There are certain scenes where he has tried to take extra pauses and also added energy from his side. He has been very graphic, intelligent, strategic & emotional. As a director myself, I feel this combination is very rare to achieve so, I am very proud of him,” he concluded.
