Sardar 2 Stumbles at Box Office After Weak Opening Weekend

Poor reviews, weak word‑of‑mouth and regional competition have left the big‑budget sequel far behind its predecessor’s start.

Overview

  • The film opened in theatres on September 10 and posted a modest Day 1 of about Rs 4.5–5.0 crore before daily collections fell over the weekend.
  • Trade trackers report divergent four‑day totals, with figures ranging from Rs 11.6 crore net to about Rs 13 crore gross at the India box office.
  • Early overseas revenue was small, with reports of roughly Rs 3.5–4.5 crore from international markets contributing to a worldwide tally under Rs 20 crore so far.
  • Analysts and outlets attribute the weak run to mixed-to-poor reviews, poor word‑of‑mouth and competition from regional releases, and some project a low lifetime haul well below the first film’s returns.
  • The sequel’s reported production budget of about Rs 100–120 crore makes current collections a major commercial concern for producers and means the film must markedly improve in its second weekend to limit losses.
