Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2: Box office collection day 1
The strong advance bookings of Son of Sardaar 2 have surpassed Dhadak 2 so far and it aims to hit the double-digit mark on its opening day. However, it also faces steep competition from July holdover Saiyaara, which quickly rose to fame with a Rs 25 crore opening day.
So far, Son of Sardaar 2 has grossed Rs 61 lakh as per Sacnilk’s early estimates, and Dhadak 2 earned Rs 41 lakh. Occupancy rates have been significantly lower than Saiyaara and Vijay Deverakonda’s Kingdom which did not drop below 50%. However, for Son of Sardaar 2, Jaipur reported the highest filled audience with a 25% cap. Chennai, Surat, Bhopal, Chandigarh, and Mumbai have not responded well to the film.
Being a sequel and great brand loyalty, Son of Sardaar 2 makers aim for a similar Son of Sardaar record, which crossed Rs 160 crore during its theatrical run in 2012.
