Son Of Sardaar 2 Day 1 Box Office: Ajay Devgn's Film Outshines Siddhant, Triptii's Dhadak 2
Ajay Devgn's much-awaited action-comedy Son Of Sardaar 2 has taken a solid start at the box office. The film clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri at the box office on August 1. On its opening day, Ajay's film surpassed the earnings of Dhadak 2.
A sequel to the 2012 hit, Son Of Sardaar 2 continues the story with Ajay Devgn reprising his high-energy, larger-than-life avatar, Jassi, that fans have come to love. The film's mass appeal, humour, and action-packed narrative have clearly struck a chord with single-screen audiences, especially in North India. On Day 1, Son of Sardaar 2 raked in an impressive Rs 6.75 crore, comfortably surpassing the day 1 earnings of Dhadak 2, which managed Rs 3.35 crore. The Ajay-starrer had an overall Hindi occupancy of 22.56% on Friday.
On the other hand, Dhadak 2, which stars a fresh cast and takes a more intense, romantic-drama route, saw a slow start despite decent pre-release buzz and music popularity.
With a head start at the box office, Son Of Sardaar 2 now looks to maintain momentum over the weekend. Trade analysts predict a healthy jump if word of mouth remains positive. All eyes are now on the Saturday and Sunday numbers to see which film pulls ahead in the long run.

News18 Showsha rated the film with 3 out of 5 stars. A part of our review reads: 'With all said and done, Son of Sardar 2 is a decent watch that you can think of watching at the theatres near you with your family. Though the film tries to give a message at the end, go with a mindset to watch some pure slapstick comedy that doesn't require you to apply your mind and logic. Lastly, be ready to be surprised for a small announcement in the end, and no, it's not Son of Sardar 3."
The film also stars late Mukul Dev, marking his posthumous release. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film features a powerhouse cast including Ajay Devgn, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Mrunal Thakur, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, Vindu Dara Singh, Roshni Walia, Sharat Saxena, and Sahil Mehta.
Presented by Jio Studios and Devgn Films, A Devgn Films and SOS 2 Limited production, Son of Sardaar 2 is produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande. Produced by N R Pachisia and Pravin Talreja, and co-produced by Kumar Mangat Pathak, Son of Sardaar 2 was previously slated for release on July 25, 2025. It's release date was later pushed to August 1.

'Don't Give Money..': Noted Filmmaker Questions Fee Given To Women, SC & ST Filmmakers; Sparks Row
Last Updated: Adoor said that women filmmaker shouldn't get money only because they are women, adding that they must also be given training. Adoor Gopalakrishnan, the renowned filmmaker sparked a row after he said that women shouldn't be given money to make films just because they are women. His remark on state funding for women and SC/ST filmmakers came at the Kerala Film Conclave. His remarks drew strong reactions from Kerala's Cultural Affairs Minister, Saji Cherian. Speaking at the event, Adoor questioned the current model of financial support being extended to filmmakers from Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and women communities through the Kerala State Film Development Corporation (KSFDC). 'The government is giving around Rs 1.5 crore to individuals from SC/ST communities. I once told the Chief Minister that this could open up space for corruption," Adoor said. He added that while the intent behind such schemes is positive, proper groundwork was lacking. 'I want to give a suggestion — those selected should be given intensive training, at least for three months, on how films are made. Just having an interest isn't enough. They should understand budgeting and filmmaking. This is public money — tax money — and must be used responsibly. Instead of giving Rs 1 crore to one person, it should be split into Rs 50 lakh each for three people," he added. His remarks were met with immediate criticism. Pushpavathi PR, Vice Chairperson of the Kerala Sangeetha Nataka Akademi, responded by defending the support extended to women and transgender filmmakers as well. 'People from SC/ST communities have not had the opportunity to come to the forefront of cinema. It's been 98 years — that's the reality," said Minister Cherian. 'One of the best decisions taken by this government was to provide Rs 1.5 crore each for two films. We've already released four and are funding two more." 'How many women in our state have directed films? We gave Rs 1.5 crore each for two women-led films and completed three to four projects. We've also launched initiatives for the transgender community. Everyone should have the opportunity to be part of cinema." Responding to concerns about misuse, Cherian said, 'These decisions are not made arbitrarily. A screening committee of respected members from the Malayalam film industry evaluates each project. And the films produced under this scheme have been extraordinary. We are 100 per cent confident that we made the right decision." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

About 'Son of Sardaar 2' Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, 'Son of Sardaar 2' is the sequel to the 2012 hit film 'Son of Sardaar'. The film brings Ajay Devgn back in the lead role, joined by Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Deepak Dobriyal, and Sanjay Mishra in important roles. It also features Neeru Bajwa in her Bollywood debut and is the posthumous film of Mukul Dev , making it a special release for fans. 'Son of Sardaar 2' review The Times of India gave the film 3 stars, praising the performances and the overall entertainment value. An excerpt from their review reads,'Ajay Devgn is convincing as the endearing and guileless Sardar, shining in both comedy and emotional scenes. Mrunal Thakur, as the fiery and outgoing Rabia, holds her own. Ravi Kishan delivers a knockout performance as the businessman-turned-gangster who is exasperated with his father Ranjeet Singh's (Sharat Saxena) colourful ways. Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh deserve special mention for their strong onscreen chemistry and impeccable comic timing together. Deepak Dobriyal plays the role of a transgener woman perfectly, though Sanjay Mishra remains underutilised, with characterisation that fall short of his talent.'

Fan Fight Erupts Ringside During WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2, Video Viral
Last Updated: A wild fight broke out among female fans during WWE SummerSlam 2025 Night 2, and it's gone viral. Watch the video of the hair-pulling chaos that stunned the crowd. News18 SummerSlam 2025 Night 2 delivered big in the ring—but the most unexpected clash of the night may have happened just outside it. A now-viral Twitter video has captured a wild altercation that broke out among female spectators during the premium live event at Metlife Stadium in New Jersey. The clip shows two women engaged in an intense hair-pulling brawl just rows from ringside. Security was slow to respond, but several fellow audience members stepped in to pull the fighters apart. Watch the video to see how quickly the chaos unfolded and how stunned the crowd was by the unsanctioned ringside showdown. While it remains unclear what sparked the fight, the drama certainly added an unpredictable layer to an already intense night. SummerSlam 2025's second night featured major matches including Solo Sikoa vs. Jacob Fatu in a steel cage, Becky Lynch defending her title in a no-DQ war, and the Wyatt Sicks in a six-team TLC match. WWE has yet to comment on the incident, but with SummerSlam drawing one of the year's most passionate crowds, it seems the heat wasn't confined to the squared circle. view comments First Published: August 04, 2025, 06:27 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
