Son of Sardaar 2 Box Office Report: Beats Dhadak 2, Trails Saiyaara – Day 2 Collection Shocks Trade"

Ajay Devgn returns in full throttle alongside Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, and Sanjay Mishra in Son of Sardaar 2, which has carved an assertive Day 1 footprint at the domestic box office. Its inaugural revenue, which parallels Bhool Chuk Maaf, notches it as the 11th most robust debut of 2025, positioning it above Dhadak 2—released the same day—but trailing the still-surging Saiyaara, now into its third triumphant week.

Day-Wise Financial Excavation:

Day 1 Collection: ₹7.5 crore (net, as per trade pulse)

Day 2 Collection: ₹8 crore (net, trade-acclaimed)

Cumulative Haul (Till Now): ₹15.5 crore (net, trade report)

Notably, Son of Sardaar (2012) had galloped off with ₹9.34 crore on its opening day—its 2025 successor has trailed slightly in comparison.

Verdict in Flux:

The commercial voyage of Son of Sardaar 2 hinges on how tenaciously it maintains its draw in the subsequent weeks. With a formidable cast ensemble, a substantial screen count, and a modest start that eclipses many peers, its climb to success is promising—yet not guaranteed. Should the audience sentiment remain steady or escalate, the film might just maneuver itself into the victory lane.
