Ajay Devgn is no stranger to success, especially when it comes to sequels. Over the past 15 years, whenever he returned in a familiar role, it usually meant only one thing: a guaranteed blockbuster. So naturally, when Son Of Sardaar 2 was announced, fans sat up. We expected laughs, action, punchlines, and that signature Ajay Devgn swag. The first part may not have been a masterpiece, but it had heart, humour, and a loyal audience. The sequel was supposed to be bigger, crazier, funnier. But what we got instead was, well, let’s just say not what anyone hoped for.
Son Of Sardaar 2
From the moment the trailer dropped, something felt off. The excitement that usually surrounds an Ajay Devgn sequel just wasn’t there. No iconic dialogue took over social media, no song went viral, and frankly, there wasn’t much chatter.
The release didn’t help either. A mid-week, non-festival date? For a massy, comedy-action film that thrives on holiday crowds? That’s like throwing a party on a Tuesday morning. People noticed, but they didn’t show up.
And then came the reviews — blunt, brutal, and disappointing. The audience reaction? Pretty similar.
Son of Sardaar 2 Box Office Numbers
Let’s break it down:
- Day 1: ₹7.25 crore
- Day 2: ₹8.25 crore
- Day 3: ₹9.25 crore
- Day 4: ₹2.4 crore
- Day 5: ₹2.8 crore
- Day 6: ₹1.70 crore
- Total nett (India): ₹31.65 crore
- Gross with GST: ₹37.34 crore
A film with this kind of cast and scale failing to touch ₹50 crore — let alone the ₹100 crore club — is not just surprising. It’s almost unbelievable.
Ajay Devgn’s Record Broken
Here’s why this flop feels personal for fans.
Since 2008, from Golmaal Returns onward, every single franchise film starring Ajay Devgn has crossed the ₹100 crore mark. That’s 15 years of being the most reliable star in Bollywood sequels.
But Son Of Sardaar 2 just ended that legendary streak. It’s not just a failed film — it’s the only franchise film in a decade and a half that couldn’t pull the crowd. A rare stumble for someone who rarely misses.
What Went Wrong With Son Of Sardaar 2?
So, how did a film with so much going for it go so wrong?
- No Hype: The buzz was missing from day one. No social media pull, no trending trailer, no “OMG this is gonna be epic!”
- Poor Release Timing: A weekday release with no holiday advantage? Big mistake.
- Strong Competition: Mahavatar Narsimha and Saiyaara were already dominating screens. Audiences had options — and they didn’t pick this one.
- Weak Writing and Execution: People expected heart and humour. They got forced jokes and loud scenes instead.
Will Ajay Devgn Bounce Back?
One flop doesn’t define a star, especially not one like Ajay Devgn. His upcoming lineup is fire — De De Pyaar De 2, Golmaal 5, and Drishyam 3. And if there’s one thing Ajay’s career has taught us, it’s this: he learns, adapts, and returns stronger every single time.
Son Of Sardaar 2 may have missed the mark, but this isn’t the end of anything — it’s just a rare wrong turn on an otherwise solid road.
We live in an era of remakes and sequels, but not every follow-up has what it takes. A familiar title can only take you so far. What truly wins hearts is story, timing, emotion, and a bit of luck.
Son Of Sardaar 2 missed that magic mix. And fans are right to feel a little heartbroken. But maybe this is the reminder filmmakers need: sequels are earned, not inherited.
