Dhadak 2
Based on available data, the Day 1 box office collection for Dhadak 2 (released August 1, 2025) is as follows:
- India Net Collection: ₹2.94 crore (early estimates, as per Sacnilk).
- India Gross Collection: Not explicitly reported, but typically calculated by adding taxes to the net figure. Assuming a 12–18% GST, the India gross is estimated at approximately ₹3.3–3.5 crore.
- Overseas Collection: Specific figures for overseas markets are unavailable in the provided sources. Given the film’s limited release (1,000 screens in India and a focus on urban markets), overseas contributions are likely minimal, estimated at ₹0.5–1 crore based on typical low-budget Hindi film openings.
- Worldwide Gross Collection: Without precise overseas data, a conservative estimate places the worldwide gross at ₹3.8–4.5 crore for Day 1, combining India gross and modest overseas earnings.
The film faced stiff competition from Son of Sardaar 2, Saiyaara, Mahavatar Narsimha, and Kingdom, which impacted its performance. Advance bookings were lackluster, with ₹37.14 lakh for 13,345 tickets sold, and occupancy rates averaged 19.78% in Hindi (2D) shows. Posts on X noted a “poor start” and suggested the film might struggle to surpass the original Dhadak’s ₹8.71 crore opening in 2018.
Note: These figures are preliminary, and final numbers may vary slightly as trade reports are updated. For comparison, Son of Sardaar 2 collected ₹0.82 crore net by 1:20 PM IST, outperforming Dhadak 2’s ₹0.58 crore net at the same time.
