But how much does critical acclaim matter to producers and studios when a film talks about caste in such a strong way?,” Shazia asked.“How much does it influence them to come out? Do they feel the need to make socially relevant films and talk about caste loudly in our films? It hasn’t even been there subtly. We have taken more time, but I hope it happens for the sake of storytellers and filmmakers," she added.She also shared her joy at receiving praise from the filmmaking community, including Payal Kapadia, director of the Cannes-winning All We Imagine As Light, who called Dhadak 2 a “landmark film.”About Dhadak 2Dhadak 2 has earned just over ₹20 crore in the first 10 days of its theatrical run, navigating a highly competitive landscape marked by the release of films like Son of Sardaar 2 and Saiyaara.
