Sadak 2 by Mahesh Bhatt is Now the Second Most Disliked Video in the World

The trailer of Mahesh Bhatt directed Sadak 2 has been the top trending video on YouTube India ever since it dropped on the platform on August 12.

61 million views and thousands of comments later, the upcoming movie starring Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, and Aditya Roy Kapur, Sadak 2 has achieved a rare feat of becoming the second-most "disliked" video in the entire world. Bhatt's movie currently has 11.65 million "dislikes" beating Justin Bieber's "Baby" (11.63 million dislikes) which held the spot for nearly a decade.

The movie which stars Alia Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt, and Aditya Roy Kapur has been heavily panned for supposedly propagating nepotism in the industry, especially at a time when angered fans are seeking justice for the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput.

Incidentally, Sadak 2 currently holds the record for being the most-disliked video on YouTube, with a staggering dislike ratio of 95%. The close second spot belongs to Swedish YouTuber PewDiePie who has a dislike ratio of 93% on his video titled "Can this video get 1 million dislikes?" with nearly 5 million "dislikes".

Notably, the #1 spot for the most-disliked video on the platform belongs to YouTube itself, which set the world record of most-dislikes on a video with the forgettable "YouTube Rewind 2018: Everyone Controls Rewind" back in 2018.
