Sadak 2 (Hindi pronunciation: [sə.ɽək 2]; transl. Road 2) is a 2020 Indian Hindi-language action thriller road film directed by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Fox Star Studios and Mukesh Bhatt under their banner Vishesh Films. A sequel to the 1991 film Sadak, it stars Sanjay Dutt (reprising his role from the original), Alia Bhatt and Aditya Roy Kapur in the lead roles with an ensemble supporting cast, while Pooja Bhatt makes a special appearance.[2][3] The film marks Mahesh Bhatt's return as a director after 20 years.[4] The film's story takes place twenty-nine years after the events of its predecessor.
The film's trailer was released on 12 August 2020 on YouTube, and within a week, it became the second most-disliked video and the most-disliked film teaser/trailer on the platform due to internet users protesting nepotism in Bollywood after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.[5][6][7]
Sadak 2 was released on 28 August 2020 on the streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar in India and in U.S. theaters by Gravitas Ventures.[1] The film was panned by critics, with criticism for its performance, script, dialogues and use of clichés.[8] It marked the final directorial work of Mahesh Bhatt.
