India, Sept. 12 -- Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri-starrer Dhadak 2 released in theatres last month, earning critical acclaim for its portrayal of the marginalised community. However, the box office collection of the film remained underwhelming. Actor Vipin Sharma, who played Siddhant's father in the film, shares his opinion why it happened.

Ask him if putting the audience in uncomfortable situations through the film affected the collection and he says, "It did in a way. Box office depends on various factors but there is some kind of reluctance to see the darker side of ourselves. We as human beings are not good at that. If you see something that challenges your whole perception of life, you are afraid of looking into it."
