Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 – Opening Weekend Collections

The big Bollywood clash this weekend featured two very different films – the comic entertainer Son of Sardaar 2 and the socially charged drama Dhadak 2. Both had their unique appeal, but their box office performance tells a story of contrasting trajectories.

Son of Sardaar 2 opened strong with ₹7.50 Crore on Friday and showed steady growth through the weekend, closing at a solid ₹24.75 Crore in just three days. Despite mixed reviews, the film benefitted from its mass appeal, loyal fan base of Ajay Devgn, and a broader single-screen reach. Hit ya Flop rated the movie as 2 out of 5 stars, labeling it “Below Average”

Dhadak 2, on the other hand, had a modest start at ₹3.65 Crore. While the film garnered praise for its performances and bold subject of caste discrimination, it managed only ₹11.97 Crore over the weekend. The content-driven narrative and limited mass appeal may have held back its box office potential. Hit ya Flop rated the movie as 3 out of 5 stars, labeling it “Good”

While Dhadak 2 may win critical acclaim for its storytelling and performances, Son of Sardaar 2 clearly leads the box office battle with double the weekend collection. It remains to be seen if Dhadak 2 can hold steady on weekdays through positive word of mouth, while Son of Sardaar 2 aims to maintain momentum through the week.
