As of August 1, 2025, the Indian box office is witnessing an intense battle between three Bollywood films: Saiyaara, Son Of Sardaar 2, and Dhadak 2. While Saiyaara, the blockbuster, has continued its strong performance, the other two films are vying for the top spot.
Saiyaara, which has been in theaters for two weeks, has maintained its dominance, registering a morning occupancy of 11.89% on its third Friday. This figure is on par with the new releases, showcasing the film's enduring popularity.
In contrast, Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's action comedy, Son Of Sardaar 2, has struggled with a morning occupancy of just 10.24% on its opening day. This is one of the lowest figures for a major Bollywood release in 2025, despite the sequel factor.

The surprise package, however, is Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. The film has enjoyed a strong response in pre-sales, and its opening day morning occupancy of 15.02% has placed it among the top 10 Bollywood films in 2025 for this metric. This performance has left behind other recent releases like Sikandar and Kesari Chapter 2.
As the box office battle continues, it remains to be seen which film will emerge as the audience's top choice in the coming days.
