Triptii Dimri is once again set to shine in the upcoming Dhadak 2, which was announced recently. Paired with Siddhant Chaturvedi, Dimri takes center stage in this eagerly awaited sequel. The film is directed by Shazia Iqbal, who also brings a fresh perspective. Dhadak 2 will be a story of love navigating the complexities of social barriers.
However, there’s a twist: Dhadak 2 is confirmed to be a remake of the critically acclaimed Tamil movie Pariyerum Perumal. This revelation is confirmed in the film’s announcement credits.
Tripti Dimri’s Dhadak 2 inspired from Pariyerum Perumal?
In the end credits of the announcement video, it is mentioned that Dhadak 2 is based on the Tamil film. Pariyerum Perumal is a gripping political drama that delves into the harsh realities of caste discrimination in rural Tamil Nadu.
The film follows Pariyan (Kathir), a young man from the oppressed Pallars caste who faces severe discrimination from the dominant Vanniyar caste. He falls in love with Jothi (Anandhi), a girl from the Vanniyar caste. Their love story challenges societal norms and exposes brutal caste violence and untouchability practices. The film’s raw and powerful portrayal of these issues received widespread critical acclaim. The film also sparked important conversations about caste in India.
Dhadak 2 aims to continue the legacy of its predecessor, which was itself a remake of the Marathi film Sairat. This sequel further promises to bring the story into a new cultural context, exploring themes of forbidden love and social hierarchies.
Shazia Iqbal, making her mainstream directorial debut, faces the challenging task of adapting Pariyerum Perumal’s intense narrative for a broader audience. The central theme remains the same: love that transcends social limitations.
The film’s release on November 22, 2024, is highly anticipated. As the date approaches, audiences are also eager to see if this remake can do justice to its original source while standing out as a compelling story on its own.
The soundtrack, a vital component of the original Dhadak’s success, is also expected to play a significant role in the upcoming movie. As Dhadak 2 gears up for its release, it not only carries forward the torch of a successful franchise but also brings with it the weight of its significant Tamil inspiration.
