‘Son of Sardaar 2' box office: Ajay Devgn's comedy struggles amid competition
According to Sacnilk, the film opened with ₹7.25 crore on Day 1 and gained steam over the weekend with ₹8.25 crore on Saturday and ₹9.25 crore on Sunday, bringing its three-day total to ₹24.75 crore. However, Monday proved to be a major setback. The film saw an 86.92% dip in revenue, managing only ₹1.21 crore on Day 4, taking the total domestic collection to ₹25.96 crore.
Industry insiders say weekday blues aren't the only factor. Son of Sardaar 2 is up against stiff competition from current box office performers like Dhadak 2, Saiyaara, and Mahavatar Narsimha. While Dhadak 2 collected ₹1.40 crore and Saiyaara pulled in ₹2.50 crore on Monday, Mahavatar Narsimha dominated with a massive ₹8 crore, outshining all others.
Occupancy for Son of Sardaar 2 on Monday remained low at 10.20%, with the highest being 13.23% during evening shows. Despite a wide release with 595 shows in Delhi NCR and 348 in Mumbai, audiences appear to be opting for alternatives.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, the film features Mrunal Thakur, Sanjay Mishra, Ravi Kishan, and others in supporting roles.

Saiyaara box office collection day 19: Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda's romantic film beats Padmaavat after crossing Rs 500 cr mark
Mohit Suri's romantic film Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is slowly but surely registering growth at the box office. On the day its worldwide collection crossed the coveted Rs 500 crore mark, the film achieved another triumph back home. With domestic earnings at Rs 304.6 crore after 19 days of release, the movie has now surpassed another all-time Hindi blockbuster. On Tuesday, Saiyaara earned Rs 2.5 crore, a marginal improvement on its Monday collection of Rs 2.35 crore. Saiyaara has now surpassed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2018 period drama Padmaavat, starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Shahid Kapoor. The movie earned Rs 302.15 crore at the Indian box office. Saiyaara will likely beat its next target — Kabir Khan's Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor — by this weekend. According to production banner Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara has also become the 'highest grossing love story in the history of Indian cinema.' It's an interesting update to come from YRF since it also delivered one of the most celebrated romantic films of all time, Aditya Chopra's 1995 directorial debut Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. 'With Saiyaara, Mohit Suri hit his first 500 crore worldwide blockbuster and Ahaan-Aneet became the first debutants in the history of Indian cinema to enter the coveted ₹500 crore club when it comes to worldwide collections! Total overseas collection is now at a monstrous ₹507 crore gross is 18 days,' the banner said in a statement. 'As a company, we share this historic success with the captain of the ship, Mohit Suri, who has given this generation a defining love story they can call their own, the incredible debutants Ahaan & Aneet who made the world feel love on screen through their brilliant acting, Aditya Chopra for his unwavering guidance, the entire cast and crew of Saiyaara and everyone at YRF for their invaluable contribution towards making this film into a global phenomenon,' said YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani. Calling the movie a 'pure love story', Widhani said the film's success proves that the romance genre gets the most love from audiences if offered the right story. 'We are humbled with this success story and it fuels us to look for the next film that can break out and make India proud globally. It's deeply encouraging to see young audiences lead the way in embracing this film, disproving doubts about their theatrical participation. Thank you to every viewer, everywhere, for making Saiyaara the defining love story of our time,' he added.
