Summary
- 'Son of Sardaar 2' earns ₹24.75 crore over opening weekend
- Ajay Devgn's performance praised, Mrunal Thakur holds her own
- 'Saiyaara' still pulling in big numbers, posing stiff competition
Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's comedy drama 'Son of Sardaar 2' has been holding strong at the box office since its release on August 1, 2025. The film, which is the sequel to the 2012 hit 'Son of Sardaar', started with mixed reviews but has shown steady growth over its first weekend.
On its opening day, 'Son of Sardaar 2' earned ₹7.25 crore, and the collection grew steadily over the weekend, reaching an impressive ₹24.75 crore by the end of the third day. The film's performance has been particularly strong on Sunday, with a decent overall Hindi occupancy of 34.90% and a peak of 51.58% during the evening shows.
In comparison, 'Dhadak 2', another new release starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, has fallen behind, earning just ₹11.50 crore over the same period. 'Son of Sardaar 2' has clearly outperformed its competitor.
However, the film is facing stiff competition from 'Saiyaara', starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Despite releasing earlier, 'Saiyaara' is still pulling in big numbers, collecting ₹8 crore on its third Sunday. Though 'Son of Sardaar 2' edged it out on Sunday, 'Saiyaara' is clearly holding its ground.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, 'Son of Sardaar 2' brings Ajay Devgn back in the lead role, joined by Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Deepak Dobriyal, and Sanjay Mishra in important roles. The film also features Neeru Bajwa in her Bollywood debut and is the posthumous film of Mukul Dev, making it a special release for fans.
