by After being delayed by a week, Son of Sardaar 2 finally hit theatres on August 1, 2025. Interestingly, tickets for this film were offered at a 50% discount during the first weekend of its theatrical run. Starring Ajay Devgn as the male lead alongside Mrunal Thakur as the female lead, SOS2 failed to impress critics, as early impressions and reviews have been quite negative. But did it manage to attract audiences to cinemas? You will find out in our 7-day income report, which will be tracked daily during the first week of its run in Indian cinemas.
Earlier this week, many expert Indian critics and film analysts reviewed Son of Sardaar 2, and most of them gave it a rating of 1.5 stars; some even rated it as low as 0 stars. The most common complaints were that its jokes didn’t land properly and the comedy was far too vulgar and unsuitable for children.
According to some inside reports, the makers of Son of Sardaar 2 completely gave up on the film after the blockbuster success of Saiyaara dealt them a significant blow, forcing them to postpone its release by a week. In an attempt to generate some satisfactory income in the initial days, they decided to offer tickets at 50% off during the first weekend of its theatrical run.

Check out the first 7-day collection figures for Son of Sardaar 2, which will provide a clear picture of how it performed during its theatrical run across India:
Day 1 – 7.50 crores
Day 2 – 8.50 crores
Day 3 – 9.30 crores
Day 4 – 2.40 crores
Day 5 – 2.80 crores
Day 6 – 1.70 crores
Day 7 – 1.45 crores
| 7 Days Grand Total | 33.65 crores |
The biggest issue with Son of Sardaar 2 is that the makers didn’t focus much on the script, relying instead on Mrunal Thakur’s attractive looks and Ajay Devgn’s stardom to bring audiences to the cinema. However, they forgot that it’s 2025 and, in this era, content is king.
Son of Sardaar 2 is a big-budget film, with 150 crores invested in its making. We are certain that this film won’t be able to recover its budget during its lifetime run in cinemas, and it will be interesting to see how much loss Devgn Films and Jio Studios will suffer due to its dismal performance.
