Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur’s comedy drama ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ has registered an impressive first weekend at the Indian box office. Released on 1 August 2025, the film has steadily gained momentum despite opening to mixed reviews.

♦ Day 2 (Saturday): ₹8.25 crore

♦ Day 3 (Sunday): ₹9.25 crore (early estimates)

The sharp Sunday jump came as evening shows reported occupancy of 51.58%, after morning shows started with just 11.47%. The film maintained an overall Hindi occupancy rate of 34.90% on Day 3.

‘Son of Sardaar 2’ Outpaces Competitors

While ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ is surging, ‘Dhadak 2’, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, trailed with a total weekend collection of ₹11.50 crore — less than half of Devgn’s film.

Meanwhile, ‘Saiyaara’, featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continued to draw strong crowds, earning ₹8 crore on Sunday. Though edged out by ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ for the day, it remains a strong performer.

Cast, Crew, and Legacy

Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film features a stellar cast including Ajay Devgn, Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Deepak Dobriyal, Sanjay Mishra, and Neeru Bajwa, who makes her Bollywood debut. The release also holds special significance as it marks the posthumous appearance of actor Mukul Dev.

Critical Reception

The Times of India rated the film 3 stars, praising Ajay Devgn’s charm and comic timing, and highlighting Mrunal Thakur’s fiery performance. Critics also lauded Ravi Kishan’s strong screen presence and Mukul Dev’s chemistry with Vindu Dara Singh, though noted Sanjay Mishra’s role was underutilized.
