Son of Sardaar 2 Box Office Collection: Ajay Devgn’s much-awaited comedy ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ has taken a significant lead over ‘Dhadak 2’, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, at the box office on opening day. Despite both films receiving mixed reviews from critics and audiences, Devgn’s film emerged as the clear Day 1 winner in terms of collections.
Son of Sardaar 2 Box Office Collection Day 1 vs Dhadak 2
- Son of Sardaar 2: ₹6.65 crore
- Dhadak 2: ₹3.35 crore
With this, Son of Sardaar 2 earned nearly double the amount collected by Dhadak 2, securing a strong start for the comedy sequel.
What Worked for Son of Sardaar 2?
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film brought back Ajay Devgn as the quirky and fearless Jassi, this time stuck in Scotland with a heavy dose of patriotic punchlines, over-the-top humor, and a nostalgic flavor. Despite being criticized for its exaggerated storytelling and outdated jokes, the film managed to pull family audiences on Day 1.
Even though reviews called it “awkward and forced,” the name value of Ajay Devgn and the popularity of the original Son of Sardaar helped pull audiences to theatres.
Dhadak 2: A Lukewarm Start for a Social Love Story
‘Dhadak 2’, featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, opened to a modest ₹3.35 crore. The film attempted to stand out with a socially relevant love story, a shift from the conventional Bollywood romance. However, despite its emotional depth and appealing leads, the film lacked the mass connect needed to convert into strong footfalls.
The Saiyaara Effect: A Third Competitor in the Mix
Surprisingly, both films had to compete with YRF’s Saiyaara, which is now in its third weekend but still going strong. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer earned ₹4.25 crore on Day 15, even surpassing Dhadak 2’s opening numbers. Saiyaara’s total box office collection now stands at ₹284.75 crore, and it’s expected to enter the ₹300 crore club by Sunday.
What’s Next for Both Films?
Son of Sardaar 2 now has the momentum and could maintain its lead over the weekend, especially among family audiences.
Dhadak 2 might see an upward trend if word of mouth picks up, particularly among younger viewers.
Saiyaara, however, continues to dominate and could eat into both films’ business if it maintains its box office pace.

Ajay Devgn’s comeback as Jassi may not have impressed the critics, but box office numbers speak louder—and they say Son of Sardaar 2 has taken round one convincingly. Whether Dhadak 2 can catch up in the coming days remains to be seen.
