Released in theatres on August 1, the story revolves around Neelesh, a young man, who has faced caste-based discrimination, and Vidhi, a sweet girl from a privileged background. How the two fight against challenges and societal boundaries forms the crux of the story. The movie is directed by Shazia Iqbali.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/a-mystery-unfolds-in-china-as-unexplained-changes-in-horror-flick-together-spark-confusion-among-viewers-1758799145120">A mystery unfolds in China as unexplained changes in horror flick 'Together' spark confusion among viewers</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Shomini Sen wrote that Dhadak 2 paints a more realistic and relatable picture.<strong> ‘’</strong>The film, an official Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil film <i>Pariyerum Perumal,</i> jolts you into understanding how deeply rooted and pervasive caste based discrimination is in society. Written by Rahul Badwelkar, Shazia Iqbal, <i>Dhadak 2</i> brilliantly highlights the two different worlds that exist in the same class in law school. Vidhi is privileged, comes from a family of lawyers who flaunt their status in society, yet are the most insecure about family honour. Violence is an easy option to shut down those who rebel against them. Meanwhile, impoverished and marginalised, Neelesh’s family understands the power that education holds and when to fight back and when not to choose violence. They are oppressed, often misunderstood and harassed by the upper class and caste- yet they choose peace and education, partly because they know the law does not support them and partly because they follow Ambedkar’s ideology.'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/dhadak-2-review-siddhant-chaturvedi-triptii-dimri-s-film-jolts-you-from-all-kinds-of-delusion-1754017846574">Read the full review here.</a></p>

<h2>Son of Sardaar 2: Story, cast, review and more</h2><p>If you want to make your weekend hilarious and full of laughs, don’t miss Ajay Devgn’s sequel to his 2013 hit of the same name. With a quirky, silly and chaotic plot, the movie revolves around Devgn's character of Jassi Randhawa and the Sandhu family; however, these Sandhus are different. Like the first part, Jassi is an innocent Punjabi man who has been waiting for several years to visit his wife, Dimple (Neeru Bajwa), in Scotland. After a long wait, he finally visits his wife, only to find out that she wants to get a divorce. In the foreign lands, he meets a Pakistani girl, Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), who performs at weddings with her group, which includes Gul (Deepak Dobriyal), Saba (Roshni Walia), and Mehwish (Kubbra Sait). To set up Saba with his lover, who is an Indian, they end up with a chaotic plan.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/inside-orry-s-unique-collection-lobster-bag-banana-phone-case-and-dragon-fly-suit-1758712693192">Orry's unique collection!

As always, there are two types of moviegoers: those who watch these films by leaving their brains at home, fully aware of what they’re watching and just enjoying their time, and others who look for logic in every scene. If you belong to the first category, then you will enjoy this movie. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film entertains with senseless moments, but most humorously and playfully, without going overboard.'' <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/son-of-sardaar-2-review-ajay-devgn-s-film-is-silly-chaotic-and-surprisingly-funny-1754028486803">Read the full review here.&nbsp;</a></p>

Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 are two major releases this weekend. Moviegoers who missed both films in theaters can now watch them on streaming platforms. Check the details here:

All the fans who missed Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 in theatres can now watch both movies at their own comfort on OTT. This weekend, one is a love story and the other a comedy riot, so whichever film you missed and wanted to catch up on, you finally can. Both Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar 2 are set to release on Netflix from September 26, giving audiences an exciting option to choose this weekend. The streaming giant took to Instagram to announce the OTT releases of these two films. Dhadak 2: Story, cast, review and more Starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, the film is a spiritual sequel to the 2018 movie of the same title. Released in theatres on August 1, the story revolves around Neelesh, a young man, who has faced caste-based discrimination, and Vidhi, a sweet girl from a privileged background. How the two fight against challenges and societal boundaries forms the crux of the story. The movie is directed by Shazia Iqbali. Also read: A mystery unfolds in China as unexplained changes in horror flick 'Together' spark confusion among viewers Shomini Sen wrote that Dhadak 2 paints a more realistic and relatable picture. ‘’The film, an official Hindi remake of the 2018 Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, jolts you into understanding how deeply rooted and pervasive caste based discrimination is in society. Written by Rahul Badwelkar, Shazia Iqbal, Dhadak 2 brilliantly highlights the two different worlds that exist in the same class in law school. Vidhi is privileged, comes from a family of lawyers who flaunt their status in society, yet are the most insecure about family honour. Violence is an easy option to shut down those who rebel against them. Meanwhile, impoverished and marginalised, Neelesh’s family understands the power that education holds and when to fight back and when not to choose violence. They are oppressed, often misunderstood and harassed by the upper class and caste- yet they choose peace and education, partly because they know the law does not support them and partly because they follow Ambedkar’s ideology.''

Ajay Devgn backs 8-hour shift for mothers on film sets amid Deepika Padukone- Sandeep Vanga row: ‘Honest filmmakers will not have problems’

<p>Ajay Devgn is back in full form as the Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik in <em>Raid 2</em> as he fights off corruption and money-hungry politicians. <em>Raid 2</em> pits Ajay Devgn&rsquo;s officer against corrupt and power-hungry politician Dadabhai aka Riteish Deshmukh in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase. <em>Raid 2</em> is as good as the first film which became a huge sensation at the box office and continues a good run for the franchise.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, <em>Raid 2</em> delivers its promise of being nail-biting till the end although it does feel a bit lengthy towards the end. The film, however, manages to still keep you hooked and not drag like most films do when you can predict the ending of a good prevails over evil saga.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Riteish is brilliant in every frame. He is vicious, perverse, deceitful and you can&rsquo;t stop looking at him when he does what he does as Dadabhai &ndash; a man considered too good to be true and exalted as God by the people of Bhoj. He plays the unsuspecting politician who has made helping the poor his motto, and it's only Amay who is able to unmask the real Dadabhai.&nbsp;</p>
<p>How he makes the people around him believe in his false narrative is what the story tells us through twists and turns. The songs also fare well and complement the story.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://img-cdn.publive.online/fit-in/580x0/filters:format(webp)/wion/media/post_attachments/57f1a5cc-4be.jpg" alt="Riteish" style="width: 580px;"></p>
<p>Ajay and Vaani Kapoor&rsquo;s chemistry also deserves a mention. The two look good with each other. While it is Amay and Dadabhai&rsquo;s film, Vaani does do more than just acting as a beautiful face. &nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>What works</strong></h2>
<p>Raid 2 is gripping, its engaging, it tells us a new story of fight against corrupt people in power. It has some great acting from the leading actors. Both Ajay and Riteish are in top form.

Entertainment Bollywood Raid 2 movie review: Ajay Devgn, Riteish Deshmukh impress in this good vs evil drama about an officer standing tall against corruption.

Ajay Devgn is back in full form as the Income Tax officer Amay Patnaik in Raid 2 as he fights off corruption and money-hungry politicians. Raid 2 pits Ajay Devgn’s officer against corrupt and power-hungry politician Dadabhai aka Riteish Deshmukh in a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase. Raid 2 is as good as the first film which became a huge sensation at the box office and continues a good run for the franchise. Directed by Raj Kumar Gupta, Raid 2 delivers its promise of being nail-biting till the end although it does feel a bit lengthy towards the end. The film, however, manages to still keep you hooked and not drag like most films do when you can predict the ending of a good prevails over evil saga. Riteish is brilliant in every frame. He is vicious, perverse, deceitful and you can’t stop looking at him when he does what he does as Dadabhai – a man considered too good to be true and exalted as God by the people of Bhoj. He plays the unsuspecting politician who has made helping the poor his motto, and it's only Amay who is able to unmask the real Dadabhai. How he makes the people around him believe in his false narrative is what the story tells us through twists and turns. The songs also fare well and complement the story. Ajay and Vaani Kapoor’s chemistry also deserves a mention. The two look good with each other. While it is Amay and Dadabhai’s film, Vaani does do more than just acting as a beautiful face. What works Raid 2 is gripping, its engaging, it tells us a new story of fight against corrupt people in power. It has some great acting from the leading actors. Both Ajay and Riteish are in top form. Ajay does justice once again in the cop role. Riteish shines as vile politician who hoards the entire city’s money while playing saint. The story impresses with its shock value as fans keep guessing where he’s stashed all the black money – gold, immovable assets, cash, and more. Saurabh Shukla strikes again in the film as Tau Ji from Raid. His story gets a follow-up in Raid 2 as he’s shown revelling in Amay’s actions. He’s brilliant as the scornful Tau Ji who desperately wants Amy to fail only to become his cheerleader towards the end. Pakistani artists Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam's accounts still visible in India Amit Sial as Income Tax officer in Ajay Devgn's team is convincing as corrupt officer who worships money.
