'Son of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' advance box office: Ajay Devgn and Siddhant Chaturvedi starrer to struggle to find footing amid competition from 'Saiyaara' and 'Mahavatar Narsimha'
The Ajay Devgn starrer 'Son of Sardaar 2' and the Siddhanth Chaturvedi starrer 'Dhadak 2' will hit the big screens today. According to early box office reports, the films appear to be facing an uphill battle, dealing with intense competition and underwhelming pre-release buzz. The surprise growth and performance of 'Mahavatar Narsimha', combined with the current popularity of Mohit Suri 's romantic film 'Saiyaara', have reportedly dampened prospects for both sequels. A report on boxofficeindia states that despite the advantage of being sequels of hit films, neither has managed to generate significant traction through music or trailer, which were expected to boost initial footfalls. Industry analysts further state that the release window of the films has seemingly worked against them, as their release comes amidst one of the most competitive weekends of the year. Advance Bookings In terms of advance bookings across national chains for August 1st, 'Son of Sardaar 2' has sold approximately 28,000 tickets. Meanwhile, Dhadak 2 follows with 18,000 tickets, according to boxofficeworldwide. While leading in advance bookings, both films have failed to create the buzz expected of a major sequel. 'Son of Sardaar 2' had previously performed well in regions like East Punjab, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh-Bihar during its original run, but early indicators suggest a far tougher outing this time. On the other hand, 'Dhadak 2' is coming after the release of 'Saiyaara', 2025's biggest overseas Bollywood hit, which continues to draw in the masses. With the film receiving a lukewarm pre-release reception, it will likely depend on reviews and great word of mouth to boost its ticket sales. The film may find some support over the weekend, particularly on Saturday and Sunday, but analysts remain are uncertain about its long-term potential. Stiff Competition Meanwhile, the animated mythological film 'Mahavatar Narsimha', which opened to minimum buzz and low pre-release visibility,has quickly emerged as a wild card. The film has benefitte from positive word-of-mouth and great reviews, pushing it past the Rs 44 crore mark by the end of its first week at the Indian box office. Early predictions indicate that the film could likely emerge as a hit this weekend and outperform both new releases. Box Office Predictions With 'Saiyaara' and 'Mahavatar Narsimha' in the lead, trade reports suggest that both 'Son of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' may end up trailing behind, placing them in the third and fourth spots at the box office.

'Saiyaara' Box Office collection day 14: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic film earns Rs 6.5 crore on second Thursday; crosses Rs 280 crore mark
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda 's romantic film 'Saiyaara' continues its strong run at the box office, even as it begins to face serious competition from new releases. On its 14th day in cinemas, the film added another Rs 6.50 crore to its domestic collection, bringing its total to an impressive Rs 280.50 crore as per early estimated by Sacnilk. A dip in numbers, but still going strong Thursday, 31 July 2025, saw the film earn Rs 6.50 crore, which is lower than its earlier daily collections. But despite the drop, 'Saiyaara' is holding up well considering the rising competition at the box office. The Mohit Suri directed film had an overall Hindi occupancy of 11.27% on Thursday, 31 July 2025. Morning shows registered an occupancy of 9.46%, afternoon shows climbed to 14.11%, followed by 9.90% in the evening and 11.60% during night shows. Facing heat from fresh releases The drop in 'Saiyaara's' collection on Day 14 was expected with the arrival of Vijay Deverakonda 's action-packed film 'Kingdom', which opened strong with Rs 15.40 crore on its first day (as per early estimates by Sacnilk). More competition is on the way, as 'Son of Sardaar 2' starring Ajay Devgn and the much-awaited romantic drama 'Dhadak 2' have released on 1 August. These new entries may pull audience attention and screens away from 'Saiyaara'. Day-wise box office report Week 1: Day 1 (Friday): Rs 21.5 crore Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 26 crore Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 35.75 crore Day 4 (Monday): Rs 24 crore Day 5 (Tuesday): Rs 25 crore Day 6 (Wednesday): Rs 21.5 crore Day 7 (Thursday): Rs 19 crore Total for Week 1: Rs 172.75 crore Week 2: Day 8 (Friday): Rs 18 crore Day 9 (Saturday): Rs 26.5 crore Day 10 (Sunday): Rs 30 crore Day 11 (Monday): Rs 9.25 crore Day 12 (Tuesday): Rs 10 crore Day 13 (Wednesday): Rs 7 crore Day 14 (Thursday): Rs 6.5 crore Total collection till say 14: Rs 280.50 crore The film had already recorded its lowest single-day collection on Day 13 (Rs 7 crore), and Thursday's Rs 6.5 crore further continues that downtrend. Can it still cross the Rs 300 crore milestone ? Even with its recent slowdown, there's hope that 'Saiyaara' might still touch the Rs 300 crore mark in the coming days. If weekend numbers rise again, the film could reach this massive milestone, which would be an incredible achievement for a film that began with modest expectations.

Saiyaara's box office success: How minimal promotion revolutionized Bollywood marketing strategies
The incredible box-office success of mid-budget Hindi film Saiyaara has sent ripples across Bollywood at a time when fear of failure has gripped the industry after months of mostly flops, kindling hopes of a as a 'silent storm' with minimal promotion, Saiyaara has collected Rs 274 crore in just 14 days since release, sparking curiosity among filmmakers and audiences alike. The film was made on a reported budget of Rs 45 crore. Interestingly, Kannada horror-comedy Su from So that employed a similar strategy of minimal promotion, also found success, collecting Rs 17.8 crore in a week. In this context, ET spoke with film marketing experts, young adults, and a psychologist to decode Saiyaara's success and whether it could impact future filmmaking and marketing strategies. The intensity of Saiyaara's marketing campaign was much higher after its release than pre-release and it focused more on showcasing audiences' reactions (from emotional to exaggerated) than on their opinions, noted Harikrishnan Pillai, CEO and cofounder of digital marketing agency TheSmallBigIdea. 'One must understand that the film's frenzy was 'captured' in non-metro areas and 'displayed' in metro areas,' he said. According to marketing experts, Saiyaara's makers hired small influencers in tier II-III cities to create videos that focused on audience reactions. As these videos became popular, many users (not hired by makers) joined the trend by creating their own short videos or reels. This added to the film's popularity and triggered a favourable algorithm on social media, experts said. Besides this, the makers piqued audience's interest in the film by not exposing its lead pair. 'The makers did not allow Saiyaara's lead pair to socialise and over-familiarise with audiences,' said Nidhi Bubna Sadhwani, head of marketing and digital at Red Chillies Entertainment. 'They held back on any promotional stuff. So, I think, there was an intrigue about the lead pair in terms of what they could do. This was exciting for audiences.'The film's music and trailer also played a critical role in creating favourable buzz, especially among young adults, experts marketing experts also believe the release time was a paramount factor in lifting Saiyaara's box-office fortunes.'You feel amazing about a familiar thing if it is given to you after a long time,' Pillai of TheSmallBigIdea said. 'There has been a romantic musical film drought period. Saiyaara's release quenched this hunger.'The film's themes also largely resonate with young adults, experts said. 'It is a cleverly made film. It seems that the makers have considered often-discussed topics on social media,' said Tejas Nirbhavane, a clinical psychologist. 'Scenes containing subjects such as nepotism, mental health, deserving people not getting opportunities, traumatic past, and commitment issues in relationships are shot as reels to appeal to young adults who have a short attention span,' he said.
