Strong competition at the box office
One reason for ‘Son of Sardaar 2’s modest numbers is tough competition from other movies at the box office. The film ‘Saiyaara’ is still going strong, earning Rs 3.75 crore on 10 August alone, and has a huge total of Rs 318 crore. This long-running success makes it hard for new films to attract viewers. On the same day, ‘Dhadak 2’ earned only Rs 1.75 crore, with a total of Rs 20.75 crore, less than ‘Son of Sardaar 2’.Another strong performer is ‘Mahavatar Narsimha’, which made Rs 22.75 crore on Sunday, pushing its total to Rs 168.65 crore.
‘War 2’ set to shake things up?
Next week, ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ will face its biggest challenge yet. The highly awaited action drama ‘War 2’, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR, is set to release on 14 August. This big-budget film is expected to dominate ticket sales and could push ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ out of many cinemas, making it even harder for Ajay Devgn’s film to hold its ground.
