The much-anticipated trailer of Dhadak starring Ishaan Khatter and Janhavi Kapoor was unveiled on 11 June. Though the B-Towners praised the new entries to the industry, the audience seems to be disappointed. The first look of Dhadak, which is a remake of critically acclaimed Marathi film Sairat, probably couldn’t gather as much love and appreciation as the latter did.

Comparing it to the previous films by the makers, such as Badrinath Ki Dulhania, trolls did not hold back from taking a jibe at the trailer. Here is how they reacted.

Regional cinema is soulful, it captures the dialect & earthen humor so well. A Bollywood remake is almost a parody by ham actors and a khichdi of local dialect and Hindi. #Sairat vs #Dhadak is #Reebok vs #Reebook

#Sairat was a special and a rare movie where art house cinema got blended into commercial cinema so nicely that it ended up being a socio cultural cult in Maharashtra belt. Don’t even compare it with #Dhadak . Karan Johar ne ladke ko GAP ka T nehi pehnaya wohi bahut hai. 😐😑

Bollywood fanatics PLEASE watch Sairat before you, inevitably, watch #Dhadak. Watch the honest, innocent, pure, tragic love story before it’s tainted with perfect hair, flawless clothes & nepotism.

The three minutes long trailer shows Janhvi as Parthavi and Ishaan as Madhur. It revolves around the love story of a low-caste young boy and the daughter of a wealthy upper cast landlord. The trailer features the opening lines of a song, Zingat, from the film Sairat. Just like Sairat, the film touches the topic of the caste system, and Janhvi manages to impress with her Rajasthani accent. Check out the trailer here.

Although the trailer has left the Indian audience unimpressed, let’s see if their views change after Dhadak releases on 20 July.
