As expected, the Dhadak trailer has left two camps fighting with each other - the ones who have watched Sairat and ones who haven't. For the uninitiated, Karan Johar's upcoming production is an official remake of Nagaraj Manjule's Marathi blockbuster Sairat. While Manjule had two outsiders, Rinku Rajguru and Akash Thosar, as the leads in his movie, Johar is bringing in two star-kids, Janhvi (Boney Kapoor and late Sridevi's daughter) and Ishaan Khatter (Shahid Kapoor's brother) as the leads in his. Dhadak is directed by Shashank Khaitan.
The trailer has come out and it has the visual aesthetic we so associate with a Karan Johar film. Ishaan and Janhvi have an adorable chemistry. Ishaan looks more confident of the two. That said, going by the trailer, it really feels like just another rich-girl-loves-poor-boy movie, that Bollywood has made so many times, and lacks the soul of Sairat. And those who swear by the original movie, feel the trailer is blasphemous. Here are 10 of the funniest, sassiest reactions on the trailer!
Nepotism Rocks?
Bollywood decides to make a movie about evils of caste & class... Then they cast 2 actors who have 0 credentials but nepotism backing them... @karanjohar
Thoda badam khao aur apni one dimensional zindagi se bahar niklo #Dhadak

Reebokey!
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

Someone's really pissed!
Besides the very OBVIOUS problems with Dhadak, we should all be EXTREMELY ANGRY TO SEE THEM MAKE ZINGAT THEIR OWN AND IN RAJASTHANI. FUUUUCKK THIS ALL TO HELL.

Wordplay, that's nice!
If Sairat was all about caste, Dhadak is all about dharma.

Khichdi!
When you take story from Sairat, colors from Raanjhanna, set locations inspired from bhansali and still can't give viewers something to root on.#DhadakTrailer

Audience : We want good movies on fresh concepts
