Son of Sardaar is an Action Comedy film starring the versatile actor of Indian
cinema Ajay Devgan in the male lead and beautiful Sonakshi Sinha in the female
lead. The film also features well-known actors like Sanjay Dutt, Juhi Chawla,
Mukul Dev, Punit Issar, and Tanuja. The King of Box office
Salman Khan has
appeared in a little cameo role and a song sequence in the film.
Ashwni Dhir directed the film and Ajay Devgan himself
along with N. R. Pachisia & Pravin Talreja produced the film under the
banner of ‘Ajay Devgan Films’ and YRV Infra Media. Eros International and Viacom 18 Motion
Pictures distributed the
film in the Domestic and Overseas market. Himesh Reshammiya gave the music of the film and Sameer wrote the lyrics. It entered the entertainment world of Bollywood on the Diwali (13th
November) with another big release Shahrukh Khan featured 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'.
Son of Sardaar released on 350
screens in overseas markets and the estimate for the number of
release screens in India is around 2.000.
Son of Sardaar also managed to
get 300 more screens in 2nd week due to high demand of the film in
some of the areas especially in the North India. This film mainly presented
the funny side of Ajay Devgan and Sanjay Dutt and the success of the film in
the Indian Box office has proved that Comedy
is one of the most favorite genres
of Bollywood in recent times.
The
film has already earned the status of ‘Hit’ in Indian
domestic market and ‘Average’
status in the Overseas. SOS gave a real tough fight to JTHJ in the
Indian Box office but it failed to carry it on top the overseas market. In
spite of that Son of
Sardaar managed to do
excellent business at the box
office worldwide.
“Son of
Sardaar” collected 10 Crore nett
in India in its opening day of release. It has seen a very good
growth in the 2nd and 3rd day of release. It collected Rs
16 Crore nett in its 2nd day
and Rs 12 Crore nett in its 3rd.
The total Box office collection of Son of Sardaar for the first
extended week was Rs 82 Crore in
Indian domestic market. The
film lost a few crore due to the shutdown of cinema halls in all over Mumbai
for two days. It also affected due to the other big release ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’
as mentioned earlier.
"Son
of Sardaar" managed to hold down well in the film entertainment world in its 2nd week
of release too. It collected Rs 18.50 Crore nett in 2nd week at
the Indian Domestic box office, which is quite good indeed. The film did great
business in the North India, in fact it overshadowed the business of Jab Tak
Hai Jaan completely in that region especially. It joined the 100
Crore club in Indian market in its 17th day of release.
SOS
collected Rs
3.50 Crore nett in 3rd week at Domestic Box office,
which higher than the 3rd week box office collection of JTHJ (Rs
3.05 Crore). It has to be mentioned here that the total overseas box office
collection of SOS stands at Rs 15.50 Crore (up to 3rd
week).
To
be honest the overseas collection for SOS is not up to the mark considering the mega overseas release of
the film. Like ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, it has also suffered a lot in 3rd
week due to the big release of Amir Khan’s Talaash, which is quite expected.
As another big release Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khiladi 786’ has already released
worldwide, the film will add a
crore max to its total in coming days as it is almost over with the run.
So
after 3rd week the total collection of SOS at Indian Box office is Rs 104 Crore nett. So we can conclude
on the point that the film will finish with Rs 105 Crore
nett lifetime collections (Indian Box office), which will be
marginally less than Ajay Devgan's biggest hit
till date "Golmaal 3".
Total Collection of SOS (Domestic Box Office): Rs 104 Crore Nett.
Total Collection of SOS (Overseas): Rs 15.50 Crore Nett.
Total Collection of SOS (Worldwide): Rs
119.50 Crore Nett.
