Beats ‘Dhadak 2 ‘ comfortably
While Ajay Devgn’s film held strong, ‘Dhadak 2’, starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, fell behind in the box office race. Also released on 1 August, ‘Dhadak 2’ earned Rs 4.25 crore on its third day, bringing its total weekend collection to Rs 11.50 crore. That’s less than half of what ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ has managed so far.
Faces stiff fight from ‘Saiyaara’
Another strong contender at the box office is ‘Saiyaara’, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Despite releasing earlier, it is still pulling in big numbers and collected Rs 8 crore on 3rd Sunday. Though ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ edged it out on Sunday by a small margin, ‘Saiyaara’ is clearly holding its ground.
About ‘Son of Sardaar 2’

‘Son of Sardaar 2’ review
The Times of India gave the film 3 stars, praising the performances and the overall entertainment value. An excerpt from their review reads,“Ajay Devgn is convincing as the endearing and guileless Sardar, shining in both comedy and emotional scenes. Mrunal Thakur, as the fiery and outgoing Rabia, holds her own. Ravi Kishan delivers a knockout performance as the businessman-turned-gangster who is exasperated with his father Ranjeet Singh’s (Sharat Saxena) colourful ways. Mukul Dev and Vindu Dara Singh deserve special mention for their strong onscreen chemistry and impeccable comic timing together. Deepak Dobriyal plays the role of a transgener woman perfectly, though Sanjay Mishra remains underutilised, with characterisation that fall short of his talent.”
