INDIA, JUL 29 – Son of Sardaar 2 faces limited screen allocation of about 35%, challenged by strong box office runs of Saiyaara and Mahavatar Narsimha, plus competition from Dhadak 2, sources say.
- On Friday, August 1, 2025, Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2 hits cinemas but struggles to secure enough shows, especially in non-national chains and single screens.
- Amid strong box office competition, Son of Sardaar 2 contends with Saiyaara’s success and Dhadak 2’s release approach, as exhibitors refuse to release more screens.
- Exhibitors countered with a 35% cap on shows, while PVRInox demanded 60% of showtimes for Son of Sardaar 2.
- The film’s makers opened advance bookings with a BOGO ticket offer, which could reduce net collections in urban centres, reported to be a strategic move for Friday.
- Resolution on show-sharing ratios is expected by Thursday, July 31, 2025, and final screen counts will depend on exhibitor decisions.
