Dhadak is a romantic flick helmed by Shashank Khaitan and produced under the banner of Dharma Productions. Sairat managed to achieve success not only at the box office but it also garnered the best kind of responses from the critics. Dhadak, despite commercial success, failed to get good responses from the critics.
