Sardar 2 Box Office: Karthi Starrer Fumbles in Opening Week, Collects Rs 17.75 Crore

Sardar 2, the action thriller starring Karthi and SJ Suryah, is posting a weaker box-office performance in its opening week, with an eight-day total of Rs 17.75 crore and Day 8 receipts at Rs 0.65 crore (est.). The film faces renewed competition as Soori and Suhas’s Mandaadi continues a strong run at the box office.

Across eight days, the film’s day-by-day haul stands as follows: Day 1 — Rs 5.00 crore; Day 2 — Rs 2.50 crore; Day 3 — Rs 2.75 crore; Day 4 — Rs 2.85 crore; Day 5 — Rs 2.00 crore; Day 6 — Rs 1.10 crore; Day 7 — Rs 0.90 crore; Day 8 — Rs 0.65 crore (est.). The eight-day theatrical cume is Rs 17.75 crore gross.

Regionally, Tamil Nadu accounted for Rs 9.75 crore in eight days, with Rs 5.25 crore from the Telugu states and Rs 2 crore from Karnataka. Rest Of India contributed Rs 0.75 crore, leaving a total of Rs 17.75 crore.

Sardar 2 follows Vijay Prakash aka Viji, an operative who gets a chance to prove himself when he takes on a major mission involving the vicious foe, Black Dagger. The target is Doku, a powerful biochemical weapon hidden by three operatives, each holding a key needed to access it. The mission reunites Viji with his father, Chandra Bose aka Sardar, who has his own history with Black Dagger and Doku. With an opportunity for redemption at sight, Viji and Sardar join forces to stop Black Dagger from obtaining Doku and prevent a global catastrophe.

Apart from Karthi and SJ Suryah, the film stars Malavika Mohanan, Ashika Ranganath, Rajisha Vijayan, and more in key roles.
