Son of Sardaar 2 Box Office Collection Day 1 Worldwide Collection

Son of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn, released in theatres on August 1, 2025. Despite being a sequel to the successful 2012 film Son of Sardaar, the movie recorded a modest Day 1 performance at the box office, primarily due to limited screen count and stiff competition from Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha. The film opened to average occupancy, with a lower-than-expected response in both metros and mass circuits.

Son of Sardaar 2’s Rank Among Ajay’s Openers: Expected to be in Top 5, but below Top 3

Despite being a continuation of a known franchise, Son of Sardaar 2 struggled to generate strong initial footfalls.
Advance bookings were relatively low, and a last-minute promotional ticket discount campaign (50% off) only marginally improved pre-release traction.
The underwhelming response was also attributed to average trailer reception and genre fatigue in the comedy-action space.

“Son of Sardaar 2 has seen a sluggish start, with advance booking sales significantly below par for an Ajay Devgn starrer. With tough competition from recent releases and limited exhibitor confidence, the film’s theatrical potential will depend on word-of-mouth.” – Pinkvilla

Despite the slow start, the film may benefit from weekend growth in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets where Ajay Devgn has a loyal following. However, a major Saturday spike will be necessary for Son of Sardaar 2 to gain momentum.

Weekend Outlook: Needs strong growth to reach ₹20 crore by end of Sunday
