'Dhadak 2' Cleared After 16 Major Changes—What You Need to Know!
Anticipation and Edits: A Cinematic Journey
After a long wait, ‘Dhadak 2’, featuring the talented duo Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, can finally shine on the big screen. Awarded a U/A certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), the film’s journey wasn’t without its challenges. The makers navigated through a maze of edits, 16 to be exact, addressing key sensitivities that include political, caste, and religious aspects.
Political and Religious Adjustments: Tuning the Tone
In the heart of the scrutiny, politically sensitive dialogues came under the microscope. A line with a political edge was deftly modified to remove any allusions to public figures. Religious sentiments were handled with equal care; what was once “Dharam ka kaam hai” became “Punya ka kaam hai”, softening the script’s impact. Even beloved verses by the celebrated poet Tulsidas saw alteration, with a shift to themes of quiet resistance over provocative imagery. According to Times of India, these thoughtful changes have kept the film’s essence intact.
Caste Conversations and Visual Transitions
Caste-related dialogues saw equally significant changes. Terms that might carry unintended offense were either muted or cleverly substituted. For instance, the dialogue on historical backlog was smoothed over. On the visuals front, a mystical blue-coloured dog underwent a transformation to appease visual sensitivities—an example of the film’s attentive reimagining. Furthermore, the emotional intensity was dialed down by trimming an overpowering scene featuring an insult.
Violence, Disclaimers, and A New Dawn
One of the film’s more graphic scenes, an attack, was substituted with a black screen—a move aimed at mitigating visceral discomfort. Not stopping there, the opening disclaimer swelled to one minute and 51 seconds, narrated aloud for inclusivity and clarity.
Preservation of Theme and Anticipation
Despite the edits, the movie reportedly retains its core themes of love intertwined with social challenges. The sequel to the 2018 hit ‘Dhadak’, this story beckons audiences with a fresh narrative twist while staying true to its emotional roots.
With these hurdles cleared, fans now excitedly await the announcement of its release date, eager to explore the deep layers woven by the filmmakers.
