Dhadak trailer: Twitterati underwhelmed by Bollywood adaptation of Marathi film Sairat

Dhadak will mark Sridevi and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Jahnvi Kapoor big screen debut and Shahid Kapoor’s step-brother Ishaan Khatter’s first mainstream film. An adaptation of the 2016 Marathi film, Sairat , it also deals with similar themes of caste discrimination and honour killings.

Dhadak’s trailer was released online on 11 June. The stakes are high for these star kids and the makers to do justice to the original blockbluster. Many industry professionals spoke out in support of these budding actors.

Welcome to this crazy beautiful world Jhanvi and Ishaan ❤️You both are so good.Loved the trailer @ShashankKhaitan @karanjohar 🙏🏻🌈 Can’t wait #DhadakTrailer

Good job Ishan. Express more Jhanvi.
Rawness missing, majorly from Jahnvi’s side. Hoping the movie surprises 🤙🏻 #DhadakTrailer

However, it has received considerable flak from social media. Twitter users feel that many details and nuances of the original film have been lost in translation. Some even criticised Jahnvi Kapoor’s acting not being up to par with Rinku Rajguru’s performance in Sairat.

Trailer of #Dhadak is out & it disappoints. Certainly lacks the magic of #Sairat . All the best to the entire team. https://t.co/vm1yMXLxz6

Besides the very OBVIOUS problems with Dhadak, we should all be EXTREMELY ANGRY TO SEE THEM MAKE ZINGAT THEIR OWN AND IN RAJASTHANI. FUUUUCKK THIS ALL TO HELL.

Regional cinema is soulful, it captures the dialect & earthen humor so well. A Bollywood remake is almost a parody by ham actors and a khichdi of local dialect and Hindi. #Sairat vs #Dhadak is #Reebok vs #Reebook

Ugh! @karanjohar you should have taken another @chetan_bhagat novel to make with the 'star kids' instead of ruining #Sairat 😠😠 anyway their careers don't depend on this one movie as long as you're there #nepotism #Dhadak #DhadakTrailer #

Let’s hope that Dhadak surprises all of us. Also starring Ashutosh Rana in a negative role, it is all set to release across Indian theatres on 20 July.
