Son Of Sardaar 2 Vs Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Check Who Leads The Race
Strong Start for 'Son of Sardaar 2'
Son of Sardaar 2, the sequel to the 2012 action-comedy hit, has taken an early lead. The film collected Rs 9.25 crore on its third day, bringing its total India net collection to Rs 24.75 crore over the weekend.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film follows the story of a man who pretends to be a decorated war hero to help a couple gain their conservative parents' approval for marriage. With a mix of comedy, action, and emotion, the film has resonated well with mass audiences.
Mukul Dev's Final Performance
The film also holds emotional significance, as it marks the final on-screen appearance of veteran actor Mukul Dev, who passed away on May 23, 2025. His portrayal in the film has been widely praised and is being remembered as a poignant farewell by fans and colleagues.
The cast includes Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, and others, blending mainstream Bollywood with Punjabi cinema flair. The film was initially slated for release on July 25 but was delayed to August 1.
'Dhadak 2' Box Office
In contrast, Dhadak 2 has had a more modest start. The film earned Rs 4.15 crore on its third day, with a total India net of Rs 11.4 crore across the weekend.
A spiritual sequel to the 2018 romance Dhadak, this installment tackles a more socially charged narrative. Siddhant Chaturvedi plays Nilesh, a law student from a marginalised community, who falls in love with Vidhi (Triptii Dimri), a girl from an upper-caste background. As their relationship grows, Nilesh faces increasing harassment from Vidhi's family, who view the relationship as a threat to their so-called honour.
Critical vs Commercial Appeal
While Dhadak 2 has been praised for addressing caste-based discrimination and showcasing strong performances, it appears to be drawing a niche audience. On the other hand, Son of Sardaar 2 seems to be enjoying broader commercial success with its mass-friendly blend of humour and action.
What's Next at the Box Office?
With both films still early in their theatrical run, the coming days will determine whether Dhadak 2 can gain momentum through positive word-of-mouth, or if Son of Sardaar 2 will continue to dominate the August box office.

World's most expensive alcohol! A 30 ml peg of THIS whiskey could cost you over Rs..., you can easily buy luxury flat in Gurugram and Noida, name is..., it is made of... The title of the world's most expensive whisky goes to Isabella's Islay, and its price will blow you mind which costs around USD 6 million, which is nearly Rs. 52 crore in Indian currency. It's not just the whisky that is special, the bottle itself is a big reason behind this huge price. The whisky inside is a premium, well-aged Scotch, known for its top quality. But honestly, who would buy a bottle worth as much as a luxury villa in Noida or Gurugram just to complain about the taste? The real reason this whisky is so expensive is the bottle. It's made of English crystal and is a true piece of art. The bottle is decorated with over 8,500 diamonds, 300 rubies, and white gold. Even the lettering on the bottle is made with diamonds and can be customized with the buyer's name or initials. The red writing on the front is designed using rubies, and the bottle is coated with white gold not once, but twice. Each bottle comes in a luxurious wooden case, adding even more to its royal feel. That's why Isabella's Original whisky costs a whopping USD 6 million, more for the luxury and less for the drink itself. How much does just one peg cost? A single bottle of Isabella's Islay whisky costs around Rs. 52 crore and contains 750 ml of whisky. If you break it down, just one 30 ml peg of this whisky could cost you over Rs. 2 crore! With such a huge amount, you could easily buy a luxury flat in Noida or Gurugram instead. Isabella's Islay special edition The Isabella Special Edition whisky is a light and refreshing drink with a soft, velvety texture. Priced at around USD 740,000 (over Rs. 6 crore), this whisky is all about luxury. It comes in a handmade English crystal decanter, covered in white gold and decorated with diamonds. The neck of the bottle is also studded with diamonds. To complete its royal look, it is packed in a beautifully carved wooden case, made by skilled British artisans. Isabella's Islay Scotta whisky The Isabella Islay Scotta is a premium Scotch whisky created as a tribute to Scota , the legendary Egyptian princess and founder figure of Scotland. Scota, according to myth, married a Celtic prince, and their descendants are believed to have settled in Scotland. Isabella's Islay Silver Senel Noengusa Whisky The Isabella Islay Silver Senel Noengusa whisky comes in a beautiful bottle covered in silver with golden letters on it. This special whisky is made as a royal gift, inspired by the kings and chiefs of old Scotland. Long ago, Scotland was made up of many small kingdoms. The people were mainly divided into three groups: the Picts, the Scots, and the Britons. The Scots ruled an area called Senel Noengusa, where rich leaders showed off their wealth using silver. That's why this silver-covered bottle is made to look like something a king would own. The whisky inside has a fruity taste, with hints of dark red wine and creamy crème brûlée. You can also taste a little vanilla and wood flavor. It comes in a fancy wooden box that makes it look even more special and royal. Where can you buy Isabella's Islay whisky? Bottles of Isabella's Islay whisky are extremely rare in the market. You won't easily find them in regular liquor stores, as most sellers can't afford to keep such expensive bottles in stock. The best way to get one is to directly contact the distillery that makes it.

Gulshan Grover, Son Sanjay Reconnect After Actor's Divorce Kept Them Apart For Years
Last Updated: Gulshan Grover opens up about reconnecting with son Sanjay after divorce from wife, working together on Heer Express, and building a new father-son bond. For years, Gulshan Grover has been known as Bollywood's infamous 'Bad Man'. But recently, the actor revealed a softer, more personal side as he spoke about working with his son, Sanjay Grover, on the upcoming film Heer Express, during his appearance on Archana Puran Singh's vlog. This project isn't just another movie for Gulshan — it's a chance to reconnect with Sanjay after years apart. Sanjay's journey is unique. He studied at UCLA and worked at Hollywood's MGM studio before deciding to return to India and join his father's world. 'Like any Punjabi dad, I felt like taking him out and thrashing him," Gulshan laughed, recalling how Sanjay kept contradicting everything during a meeting with former MGM co-CEO Mary Parent. But to his surprise, Mary was impressed and promised a job after Sanjay graduated. 'I was so proud. I felt like a village idiot." Though Sanjay had a promising career in Hollywood, he eventually came back home. Gulshan explained the reason was deeply personal. 'I am divorced from his mother, and she lives separately. Any parent would feel like enough is enough, my son has lived outside for so many years, we should live together now." They now share a duplex with their own spaces — 'He was free to enter my space, but I didn't have permission to enter his space." Heer Express, directed by Umesh Shukla of OMG – Oh My God fame, is their first project together as actor and producer. Gulshan said the experience brought them closer. 'Working on the project gave us an opportunity to reconnect." He also joked about how he had to 'emotionally blackmail" Sanjay to try acting after working behind the scenes. Gulshan praised Sanjay's global film knowledge too. 'His experience of making films in Hollywood as well as watching world cinema – German, French, American, Korean is fabulous. Jitna wo dekhta hai, utna mujhe dekhne me 10 saal lag jaaenge." This exposure helps Gulshan gain insights he admits he lacks. At this stage of life, Gulshan said he isn't chasing fame — he wants to leave a legacy for his son. 'All I want to do is leave a legacy behind for my son, and to see my son succeed."
