A Mixed Bag: Son of Sardaar 2 & Dhadak 2
A Mixed Bag: Son of Sardaar 2 & Dhadak 2:
Son of Sardaar 2 & Dhadak 2, the two movies that came out on August 1st, had somewhat different goals.
Son of Sardaar 2: Leveraging its star power as well as brand awareness, the comedic sequel starring Ajay Devgn had a respectable opening at the box office. Despite having a decent opening weekend thanks to its high-octane humor and action, the movie’s box office receipts significantly declined during the week. It has found it difficult to keep up with Saiyaara’s ongoing domination and Mahavatar Narsimha’s unexpected greatness. The film’s run is seen as small, and it has little likelihood of becoming as successful as its predecessor.
Recreated from the Tamil film Pariyerum Perumal, Dhadak 2 is a romance drama that won praise from critics for its audacious attempt to address the delicate subject of caste prejudice. Both Siddhant Chaturvedi & Triptii Dimri, the main performers, received a lot of love because of their stirring performances. This critical acclaim, on the other hand, did not result in significant box office success. Despite harsh rivalry against various releases, the movie’s box office revenues have been consistent but modest. Despite being regarded as a creative triumph, the movie hasn’t done well at the box office.
What Comes Next?
Things are going to get much more exciting in the theater industry. On August 12, 2025, the teaser for the much-awaited Jolly LLB 3, which connects both Akshay Kumar & Arshad Warsi, will be revealed.
