Sardar 2 Stumbles at Indian Box Office After Weak Opening Week

Trade trackers report steady day‑by‑day falls and low early earnings that leave the sequel far behind the 2022 original.

Overview

  • Estimated box‑office trackers report India gross of about Rs. 17–18 crore after the first week and an overseas gross near Rs. 4.75 crore, producing a worldwide total close to Rs. 22.7 crore according to trade estimates.
  • The film’s daily receipts have fallen consistently from its opening, with outlets showing a steep slide from initial Day 1 takings to single‑lakh figures by the second weekend.
  • Analysts point to a theatrical clash with Soori’s Mandaadi and negative word‑of‑mouth as the main reasons for lost business and sharply reduced show counts on many screens.
  • Area splits show the bulk of early revenue coming from Tamil Nadu and the Telugu states while Karnataka and the rest of India contributed far smaller shares.
  • Box‑office trackers note these are trade estimates rather than certified totals and warn the film, reportedly made on a ~Rs. 70 crore budget, is on course for a lifetime well below that figure with major financial shortfall for the producers.
