Box Office Collection The film, which is a sequel to the 2012 hit, opened to a solid response at the box office, kicking off with a first-day collection of Rs 7.25 crore. The film maintained its momentum over the weekend, adding Rs 8.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 9.25 crore on Sunday. This brought its opening weekend total to a respectable Rs 24.75 crore nett. However, the film faced a noticeable drop in collections as the weekday began, earning only Rs 2.35 crore on Monday, and Rs 2.75 on Tuesday, marking a significant decline since its release. Box Office Slowdown Despite the decline, the film's performance was relatively stable in comparison to other ongoing theatrical releases, all of which witnessed a slowdown. The box office slump appears to be industry-wide, with several major Hindi films reporting lower figures on Tuesday. 'Son of Sardaar 2' still fared better than romantic drama 'Dhadak 2', which earned close to Rs 1 crore on the same day. Meanwhile, 'Saiyaara', which has been drawing steady footfalls, earned approximately Rs 2 crore, maintaining its pace despite the midweek drop in overall collections. The film, featuring an ensemble cast including Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, , Neeru Bajwa, Deepak Dobriyal, Chunky Pandey, Kubbra Sait, Vindu Dara Singh, Mukul Dev, and Ashwini Kalsekar alongside Devgn has been praised for its high-energy action, humour, and scenic visuals. However, according to these reports, it faces the challenge of keeping up its box office pace amidst mixed critical reception and an increasingly crowded theatrical market.
