Sardar 2 nets Rs 13 crore in four days as Karthi-starrer battles rival release

Sardar 2 has turned into a major disappointment at the Indian box office, posting a four-day tally of Rs 13 crore, with Day 4 adding Rs 2.75 crore. The underwhelming showing comes despite the initial hype around the Karthi-starrer, which is clashing at theatres with Soori and Suhas’s Mandaadi this weekend. The four-day total marks a continuation of a weak run for the sequel action thriller.

Day-by-day data show Day 1 at Rs 5.00 crore, Day 2 at Rs 2.50 crore, Day 3 at Rs 2.75 crore, and Day 4 at Rs 2.75 crore, bringing the total to Rs 13 crore. From Tamil Nadu, the Karthi-starrer collected Rs 7 crore in four days. It earned Rs 4.15 crore from APTS and Rs 1.35 crore in Karnataka, while Rest Of India contributed Rs 0.50 crore, taking the total to Rs 13.00 crore.

About Sardar 2: Sardar 2 follows Vijay Prakash aka Viji, a former operative who gets an opportunity to prove himself when he takes on a major mission involving his longtime foe, Black Dagger (played by SJ Suryah). His target is Doku, a powerful biochemical weapon hidden by three operatives, each holding a key needed to access it. The mission also brings Viji’s father, Chandra Bose aka Sardar, back into the picture. Haunted by his past involvement with Doku and his failed attempt to save an affected village, Sardar sees an opportunity to complete the mission he began years ago. When Black Dagger’s plans are challenged by Viji and his team, Sardar returns to support his son. As the father and son join forces, they must stop Black Dagger from obtaining Doku and prevent a catastrophic outcome.

The weekend box office has been crowded by Soori and Suhas’s Mandaadi, which has shown a strong trend and grossed well over the weekend. The data also notes a disclaimer that the box office figures are trade estimates and not final accounting. The numbers cited are provided to offer directional insight into the film’s performance.

The latest confirmed takeaway is that Sardar 2 has grossed Rs 13 crore in four days, with Tamil Nadu leading the regional tally; the four-day run continues while audiences await further data on how it fares against Mandaadi.
