‘Dhadak’ was released on July 20, 2018, bringing the fresh pairing of Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor, who also made her Bollywood debut.
The film’s story centres on Madhukar (Ishaan) and Parthavi (Janhvi), who fall in love but face rejection from their families due to their differing social statuses.
