Mahesh Bhatt Directorial Sadak 2 Makes Unwanted Double
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt returned as a director after almost 20 years to direct the sequel of his 1991 film, Sadak. Kartoos, that was released in 1999 was the last movie of Mahesh Bhatt as a director before Sadak 2 starring the original cast of Sanjay Dutt and Pooja Bhatt along with the new addition of Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur. ## Sadak 2, however, ditched the conventional theatrical release due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead, it premiered on the OTT platform, Disney+Hotstar on August 28. Sadak 2 was one of the movies announced by Disney Plus Hotstar on June 29 and was one of the most awaited movies. However, upon its release, it was declared an outright disaster by the critics and the viewers. ## The much-hyped union of the Bhatts with Sadak 2 has proved to be a damp squib. Despite having a talented star cast, this action drama film has now gone on to become the lowest-rated film on IMDb, surpassing the 2015's Turkish film, Code Name: K.O.Z. that rated 1.3 on the website. Sadak 2 currently stands at 1.0 rating after over 56K votes. ## Previously, Sadak 2 had also become the most-disliked movie trailer video on YouTube. The trailer has received over 12 million dislikes till now, in comparison to 707K likes, and the responses to the songs were on similar lines. While the dislikes could be linked to the nepotism debate and trolling for the stars, even critics and other netizens severely criticized the film upon its release on Friday.## Also Read - Dil Bechara Creates History; Becomes The Highest Rated Indian Movie On IMDb## While the trailer has already become the most disliked video on Youtube ever with 94.77%, it is at number 2 in terms of the dislikes in millions.

The film takes forward the story from the 1991 film Sadak, of Sanjay Dutt's character Ravi, who is seen addressing Pooja, before taking Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur's characters on a journey filled with revenge, religion, and twists.
