Ajay Devgn’s comedy-drama Son of Sardaar 2 was released in theatres on August 1. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the rib-tickling sequel started its journey on a promising note with strong
audience support, translating into impressive box office numbers. On its opening weekend, the film held its ground well, as the masses loved the high-energy humour and dramatic flair.
But on Monday, the film hit its slowest day so far. As per early estimates by Sacnilk, Son of Sardaar 2 added just Rs 2.50 crore to its box office tally on day 4. While the dip in footfall isn’t surprising given it was a Monday (the day is notorious for pulling the brakes on most theatrical runs), it’s still crucial for the film to gain momentum through the week.
