Indian Express4 days ago
Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 7: Ajay Devgn's mindless comedy film Son Of Sardaar 2 is far from reaching its break-even point after spending a reported budget of Rs 150 crore. The film, released on August 1, is struggling to attract footfall in theatres. The film opened at Rs 7.25 crore saw increase in its numbers over the weekend only to fall flat by 74% on its first Monday, earning just Rs 2.75 crore. Whereas, debutante Ahaan Panday's film earned Rs 24 crore on first Monday, which also became the cause behind Ajay Devgn pushing the release of his film by a week. However, the move didn't help as new release Mahavatar Narsimha stole the spotlight.
Meanwhile, Dhadak 2, which too released on the same day as Son of Sardaar 2, is also struggling to bring movie buffs to the theaters. It has collected a total of Rs 16.44 crore despite opening to good reviews. The film is being overshadowed by box office winner Mahavatar Narasimha. With its release on July 25, the film is continuing to have a steady run at the box office. It earned Rs 5.25 crore on Thursday, pushing its total collection to Rs 118.05 crore. Dhadak 2, however, earned Rs 1 crore on Thursday.

Before Narasimha, it was Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic drama Saiyaara that kept the cash counter ringing, earning over Rs 300 crore in India.
Son of Sardaar 2, co-written by Jagdeep Singh Sidhu-Mohit Jain and directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, marks the third release of Ajay Devgn this year after Azaad and Raid 2. While Azaad was a box office debacle, Raid 2 couldn't revive the magic of the 2018 film Raid. Apart from Ajay Devgn, the film stars actors Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, late Mukul Dev, Vindu Dara Singh, Mrunal Thakur, Deepak Dobriyal and Chunky Panday, among others.
So far, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior stands at the highest-grossing film of Ajay Devgn with a collection of Rs 277.75 crore. The list is followed by Singham Again (Rs 247.86 crore) and Drishyam 2 (Rs 239.67 crore).

Coolie Advance Booking: Rajinikanth Sells 13.5K Hindi Tickets, Targets Rs 140 Cr Day 1

Last Updated: Rajinikanth's Coolie sells 13,500 Hindi tickets two days before release, aiming for Rs 140 crore global day one and a Rs 400 crore extended weekend. Rajinikanth's upcoming mega release Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is gathering steam at the box office in both southern and northern territories. Already enjoying massive pre-release hype in Tamil Nadu and other southern states, the action entertainer is now making its presence felt in the Hindi belt. Coolie Hindi Advance Booking Crosses 13,500, Sets Stage for Rs 140 Crore Day 1 As of 11:30 pm on August 11, Coolie had sold 13,500 tickets in top Hindi cinema chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for its opening day. Trade analysts expect this figure to rise to nearly 50,000 tickets by release day, translating to a Hindi box office debut above Rs 6 crore. This is especially notable given its face-off with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2. Rajinikanth Eyes Massive Comeback, Lokesh Kanagaraj Targets Records Scheduled to release on August 14, Coolie is being positioned as a 'dormant volcano" ready to erupt globally. Presales across all languages are exceptional, with industry insiders predicting an opening day close to Rs 140 crore worldwide. The film is also tipped to challenge Leo's record for the biggest-ever Kollywood opener—a contest that could become one of the most talked-about box office battles in recent years. Rajinikanth, last seen in Vettaiyan, is aiming for a spectacular comeback, while Lokesh Kanagaraj continues his streak of delivering ever-bigger hits. Remarkably, he has maintained a two-year gap between major releases, with Leo arriving in October 2023 and Coolie now hitting screens just 22 months later. If audience reception matches early expectations, the global extended weekend total for Coolie could touch Rs 400 crore. Strong word of mouth could even propel it past 2.0, making it the highest-grossing Kollywood film in history. With a star-studded ensemble including Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Aamir Khan, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan, Coolie promises high-octane action, mass entertainment, and the kind of theatrical experience Rajinikanth fans have been waiting for.

Mrunal Thakur breaks her silence on dating rumours with Dhanush: ‘Just a good friend'

Mrunal Thakur has finally broken her silence on the dating rumours linking her to Tamil star Dhanush . The Son of Sardaar 2 actress has been in the spotlight ever since the two were spotted together on multiple occasions, sparking speculation about a possible romance. According to a report in Only Kollywood, Mrunal dismissed the buzz outright, calling Dhanush 'just a good friend.' She admitted she was aware of the speculation in the media and found it amusing. 'I'm aware that a lot of news has been circulating about the two of us being linked together recently. I just found it funny when I saw it,' she said. The Sita Ramam actress also clarified that she did not personally invite Dhanush to the screening of Son of Sardaar 2. She revealed that it was Ajay Devgn who extended the invitation, adding that no one should read too much into his presence at the event. Mrunal Thakur Turns Dance Teacher; Farah Khan's Cook Nails 'Po Po' Steps Why the rumours started Mrunal and Dhanush's friendship has been under scrutiny ever since she attended the wrap-up party for his upcoming film Tere Ishk Mein, directed by Aanand L Rai. The chatter intensified after they shared a brief interaction at the Son of Sardaar 2 screening, where Dhanush was photographed holding her hand. Adding fuel to the gossip, Mrunal also began following Dhanush's sisters on Instagram. While some reports suggested the two wanted to keep their relationship low-key, Mrunal's latest remarks put those claims to rest, at least for now. For those unfamiliar, Dhanush was earlier married to director Aishwarya Rajinikanth, the elder daughter of superstar Rajinikanth. The couple, who share two sons, Linga and Yatra, parted ways in 2022 after 18 years of marriage.

War 2 Advance Booking: Hrithik-Jr NTR Film Sells 50K Tickets, Eyes Rs 30 Cr Hindi Opening

Last Updated: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, sells 50,000 Hindi tickets in advance. A Rs 30 crore day-one and Rs 100 crore global opening are on the cards. The buzz for War 2 is steadily building as the Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani starrer clocks impressive advance booking numbers in its Hindi version. As of 11:30 pm on August 11, 2025, national cinema chains PVRInox and Cinepolis reported a combined 50,000 tickets sold for day one. War 2 Hindi Advance Sales Hit 50,000, Rs 30 Crore Opening Expected Trade analysts expect final pre-release sales in these chains to cross 1.5 lakh tickets, paving the way for a ₹30 crore-plus net opening in Hindi alone. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film marks a major chapter in YRF's Spy Universe. While the Hindi bookings are off to a solid start, the Telugu version opens for reservations tomorrow. Analysts predict healthy numbers but caution that War 2, being primarily a Bollywood production, won't enjoy the automatic regional boost that big-ticket Tollywood films typically get. War 2 Mixed Buzz, But Huge Potential at the Box Office Early industry chatter classifies War 2's Hindi bookings as 'good, though not exceptional." Compared to the euphoric pre-sales seen in some 2023 Bollywood blockbusters, the film's mass appeal still has room to grow. Trade experts believe positive word of mouth will be key to pulling in wider audiences. Hrithik Roshan's last outing Fighter saw strong urban numbers but faltered with rural and mass-market viewers. Whether War 2 can bridge that gap will be a major talking point post-release. Globally, advance booking trends are encouraging. A ₹100 crore worldwide opening day is within reach for the action-packed thriller. However, competition is fierce—its release-day rival Coolie is projected to net around ₹140 crore on debut. That said, Hindi films generally sustain better post-opening than Tamil blockbusters, giving War 2 a chance to take the lead in the days following its release. With slick action, a star-studded cast, and a storyline that unites two pan-India icons, War 2 is positioned as one of 2025's most ambitious releases. If audience reception matches the hype, the film could dominate the Independence Day weekend box office.
