When Karan Johar’s Dharma Production decided to remake Sairat for Hindi audience with Janhvi Kapoor and Ishan Khatter in the lead, film lovers wanted to know if the original’s themes of class and caste distinctions will be maintained. While we will have to wait till Dhadak releases for that, Dhadak trailer that came out Monday is definitely a step in the right direction. The class distinction is obvious, as is the power that politics vests in you.
Janhvi’s character Parthavi is powerful and confident, to the point of being brazen. Belonging to a political family, she knows what she wants in Dhadak trailer. Ishaan’s Madhukar is a middle-class guy in the film set in Rajasthan. Reticent and yet in love with Janhvi’s character, Ishaan knows that discovery of their nascent love will end in disaster. False cases and police brutality later, the two elope but can you survive on just love?
Dhadak is directed by Shashank Khaitan and will hit the screens on July 20. It is a remake of Marathi hit Sairat which traced the story of two teenagers battling the rigid caste system for their love. Janhvi steps into Rinku Rajguru’s shoes while Ishaan takes upon the role essayed by Akash Thosar in the Marathi film.
