Dhadak film also was in the news as Janhvi is daughter of Sridevi. Dhadak is a Hindi remake of Marathi film Sairat, which was a rs 100 cr film. Analysts expect the movie's earnings may further go up and soon may touch Rs 50 crore.  The film, which is a story of Parthavi Singh (Janhvi Kapoor) and Madhukar Bagla (Ishaan Khatter), who belong to different castes, is directed by Shashank Khaitan.  When Parthavi's family discovers their love affair, the couple is forced to elope. However, it remains to be seen whether the movie can make the kind of buzz Sairat created.

"Comparisons with Marathi blockbuster #Sairat are inevitable... Viewed as a stand-alone film, #Dhadak has several dramatic highs, scintillating music and importantly, the young pair [Ishaan and Janhvi] is electrifying," Film analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted. "#Dhadak witnesses SIGNIFICANT GROWTH on Day 2... Growth on Sat [vis-à-vis Fri]: 26.75%... Sun biz expected to be higher than Sat... Eyes ₹ 30 cr+ weekend, which is EXCELLENT for a film starring newcomers... Fri 8.71 cr, Sat 11.04 cr. Total: ₹ 19.75 cr. India biz."

However, Dhadak collection is feeling the inch of rival movies in cinemas right now. While Ranbir KApoor's successful Sanju movie is one, teh ohers are Ant-Man And The Wasp, which has collected Rs 27 crore and Soorma, which has earned Rs 21.21 crore in week one.
