On its fifth day of release, Karthi’s spy‑thriller "Sardar 2" added an estimated ₹1.50 crore to its domestic net haul, according to box‑office tracking site Sacnilk. The film opened on Thursday, September 10, with a strong ₹4.50 crore net, but the following days saw a steady decline: ₹2.45 crore on Friday, ₹2.20 crore on Saturday, and a modest rebound to ₹2.45 crore on Sunday. Monday’s drop to ₹1.50 crore represented a 38.8% fall from the previous day.

With five days completed, the sequel has earned a net total of ₹13.10 crore in India and an approximate gross of ₹15.35 crore. Overseas collections have also contributed, with an estimated ₹0.25 crore on Monday and a cumulative overseas gross of ₹4.50 crore, bringing the worldwide total to roughly ₹19.85 crore.
