According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Dhadak 2, despite opening to positive reviews, struggled to convert the favourable word of mouth into a commercial success over its first weekend. Its box office performance was significantly impacted by the hype around the animation film Mahavatar Narsimha, along with the Saiyaara wave. The film collected Rs. 3.65 crore on Friday, followed by a slight spike of Rs. 4.05 crore and Rs. 4.27 crore on Saturday and Sunday respectively, taking the total weekend collections to Rs. 11.97 crore.
