Son Of Sardaar 2 Week 1 India Box Office: Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur's comedy collects a forgettable Rs 32 crore in 7 days
Son Of Sardaar 2, directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and starring Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan and others, performed very poorly in its first week at the India box office. The Ajay Devgn movie opened to low collections because of poor show allocation and that was due to low buzz and due to holdover releases finding audience acceptance. Son Of Sardaar 2 Ends Week 1 Netting Just Rs 32 Crore In 7 Days; To Seal A Disastrous Fate After a Rs 7.25 crore net opening, that is even less than the unadjusted opening of Son Of Sardaar in pre-Diwali, the movie never really grew over the weekend. It fell flat on Monday and now, the holdover releases like Mahavatar Narsimha (Hindi) and Saiyaara are registering better collections in weekdays of their second and third weeks, respectively. The Day-Wise India Net Collections Of Son Of Sardaar 2 Are As Under Day India Net Collections 1 Rs 7.25 crore 2 Rs 8.25 crore 3 Rs 9.25 crore 4 Rs 2.25 crore 5 Rs 2.50 crore 6 Rs 1.75 crore 7 Rs 1.50 crore Total Rs 31.75 crore net in 7 days Son Of Sardaar 2 Will Incur Losses To Its Producers Due To Poor Theatrical Performance The rejection of Son Of Sardaar 2 's content is very visible to all. With this trend, even a Rs 40 crore final India net looks unlikely. The global total of the movie will end up being under Rs 60 crore gross, and that's simply shocking. A global theatrical share of around Rs 20 crore for a movie featuring an a-lister is simply unacceptable, and amends will have to be made. Ajay Devgn won't be making the money that his brand commands, with this comic caper. In other words, Son Of Sardaar 2 will result in losses for the producers and this is something that's quite uncommon in a market where a good chunk of revenue comes to producers from non-theatrical revenue sources.

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda were spotted shopping in Mumbai after Saiyaara's Rs 500 cr success. Fans say, 'They're made for each other.' After delivering one of the year's biggest blockbusters, Saiyaara stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have finally been spotted together in Mumbai. The film, which has crossed Rs 500 crore worldwide, catapulted both debutants to stardom overnight. Following a short celebratory trip to Singapore, the on-screen pair stepped out in the city for the first time since the film's massive box office triumph. A viral video circulating on social media shows the duo exiting the Dior showroom in a Mumbai mall. Both actors were seen wearing face masks, seemingly trying to maintain a low profile. Ahaan looked effortlessly stylish in a black jacket and light blue jeans, while Aneet opted for a sky-blue shirt paired with denim. However, what truly caught fans' attention was a sweet moment between the two. As they walked out, Ahaan extended his arm towards Aneet, a subtle gesture inviting her to hold onto it. Aneet, visibly shy and aware of the paparazzi and public gaze, politely declined with a slight smile. The moment has since gone viral, sparking buzz across fan pages. One user commented, 'He wanted to hold her hand!" while another added, 'They're definitely dating." A third fan wrote, 'We want to see them together on-screen again — the chemistry is unreal!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara has struck an emotional chord with audiences across the globe. The film's Indian box office collection has crossed Rs 300 crore, while the global total now stands above Rs 500 crore. Alongside Ahaan and Aneet, the ensemble cast includes Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, Shaan Groverr, Rajesh Kumar, and Varun Badola. In a recent interview with NDTV, director Mohit Suri shared the moment that convinced him he was making something special. Recalling a powerful piano scene, he said, 'We were shooting the piano scene, when she says something and he just kisses her forehead and he's leaving… I walked out and told our creative producer Sumana, 'I am making a very good film.'" With the film's success showing no signs of slowing down, fans are now eagerly waiting for the announcement of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's next on-screen collaboration.
