Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 have opened poorly which was on the cards due to both films not having good enough trailers or music. they have been affected by strong holdovers which dominate the box office at present. This has also meant that Son Of Sardaar 2 has not got the release it would have liked while Dhadak 2 release is fine with the its content which mainly holds metro appeal.

But at the end of the day its not the release factor which is the issue but the films itself are not strong enough to collect as with the potential out there they should still be doing better numbers especially considering they are sequels also. Son Of Sardaar 2 is very much treated like a Punjabi comedy film which limits its prospects in many of the circuits. These type of films can do well in Punjab but that's when they are in Punjabi language. Here in Hindi it may out perform a little in East Punjab but the collections will not be good. Some of the other mass belts may also do a little better.

The first Son Of Sardaar film was not in this zone and gave a feel more of a mass action comedy while this film seems an outright comedy with heavy Punjabi touch. The numbers are going to way short of what the film should be doing and if the film can somehow get to 7 crore nett even that would be a result considering the start though this numbers looks tough at present.

Dhadak 2 is a sequet to the 2018 film Dhadak which did a good number at time of release driven by the music. This film is in a similar zone as the first film but with the male lead given a tan it straight away signals that the film is on the caste system which takes that urban youth away from the film and the treatment of the film is not like Dhadak to hold appeal in the Hindi circuits. A film like Metro In Dino has done 50 crore nett plus from a similar opening but that film had urban youth on its side while here that will tougher as the content is probably not for them.
