Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2, the sequel to the 2012 hit, was released worldwide on August 1, 2025. Despite high expectations and the return of Devgn’s iconic character Jassi, the film has faced a tough box office run amid strong competition from other releases like Saiyaara, Dhadak 2, and Kingdom.
Within the first nine days, Son of Sardaar 2 managed to earn approximately ₹38.29 crore at the Indian box office, a figure significantly lower than its budget of ₹130 crore, resulting in a recovery of only around 29.45% of estimated production costs. Industry reports have thus classified the film as a box office flop.
OTT Release: When and Where to Watch
Following its theatrical performance, Son of Sardaar 2 is scheduled for an OTT premiere on September 26, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. The streaming platform is expected to offer the film a second chance to connect with audiences who missed it in theatres. Netflix’s history of successful Hindi film viewership, including hits like Raid 2, suggests potential for digital redemption.
Film Details and Key Cast
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, Son of Sardaar 2 features Ajay Devgn in the lead role alongside Mrunal Thakur, with supporting performances by Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, and a host of popular actors. This film also marks the final screen appearance of Mukul Dev, who passed away in May 2025.
Shot across scenic locations such as Scotland, London, and Chandigarh, the film combines action, comedy, and Punjabi cultural elements. Its story follows Jassi as he navigates chaotic wedding situations and family drama with humor and flair.
Box Office Competition and Market Context
Son of Sardaar 2 faced stiff box office competition from several films released around the same time, including Dhadak 2, Kingdom, and the blockbuster Saiyaara. This crowded market environment limited its theatrical potential and audience reach.
Despite the setback at the box office, the film’s OTT release represents an opportunity for a wider audience reception in the digital space, especially among Ajay Devgn’s fanbase and followers of Punjabi comedy.
