The trailer, the songs, the colours, oh, and of course the money…unfortunately, nothing in Dhadak worked for the Twitter critics. Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar’s debut film has been given a thumbs down by the Twitterati, but apparently, Bollywood is loving it! Stars like Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Sonam Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor were all praises about the remake of Sairat. Those who attended the special screening only had great things to say about it!
As per their words, Bollywood stars loved the film. This, of course, had nothing to do with the fact that more than half of the viewers were either family members, relatives, well-wishers, people who have grown up with the stars or have seen their childhood.
So, here’s what Bollywood said.
#Dhadak is so beautiful yet an intense film! I totally loved it @karanjohar @ShashankKhaitan 💕#Ishaan & #Janhvi I’m sure you will win over everyone with your wonderful performances. Sending out my best wishes to the entire team for the big release tomorrow!👍

#DHADAK is @ShashankKhaitan finest work. Ishaan and Jaanvi are incredible in the film. It’s a film which will touch everyone’s heart and give an important message. Go catch it in the theatre. Shashank I’m so happy to see your growth but happier cause your the same person. pic.twitter.com/9fmcyDfZcX

In contrast, here’s how Twitter felt after paying for the movie tickets.
So if Twitter reviews of Dhadak are to be believed, then Bollywood is praising a completely different movie!

#Dhadak One Word Review: Disappointing@DharmaMovies and @ShashankKhaitan have ruined a beautiful and an inspiring story of #Sairat. #DhadakReview #JanhviKapoor #IshaanKhattar #KaranJohar pic.twitter.com/x6kGK2Vy3I

Remember one thing. It’s sin to touch some Masterpieces and #Sairat was one of ‘em. There’s no reality in the movie. The only thing you can see in the movie was introducing the late Sridevi’s daughter to the industry. And to do that, they’ve remaked the classic. #DhadakReview

If Dhadak earns more money than Sairat, talent loses to money

#DhadakReview wasted my precious money.
— Nitesh (@Nitesh_Kumar124) July 20, 2018
A predictable crap packaged so that a bunch of braindead socialmedia upstarts can create a halo as if Bollywood has found Sridevi’s replacement in her non-actor daughter#DhadakReview

#DhadakReview worst movie.. Sairat was way better. Don’t waste your time and money

So, get your ticket and let us know whom do you agree with more, Twitter or Bollywood.
