Maryada Ramanna VS Son Of Sardaar At Box Office: Success Of Ajay Devgn’s Remake Was Similar To SS Rajamouli’s Directorial But With 458% Higher Budget Involved!

The season of Diwali is here, and everyone is busy celebrating the occasion with their loved ones. On this auspicious occasion, we look at the performance of Ajay Devgn’s Son Of Sardaar, which is one of the successful films among his Diwali releases. Back in 2012, it clashed with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan and managed to become a commercial winner. So today, we’ll be revisiting its box office run along with the performance of the OG film from where it was lifted.

Directed by Ashwni Dhir, the Bollywood action comedy was released on November 13, 2012. Upon its release, it received mixed reviews from critics, but this didn’t harm the film as it managed to enjoy good footfalls and collections in the long run. It had strong competition from Jab Tak Hai Jaan but still held its ground among the family audience.

For those who don’t know, Son Of Sardaar was based on Maryada Ramanna. Maryada Ramanna was released on July 23, 2010. It was helmed by SS Rajamouli, and upon its release, the Tollywood action comedy opened to mostly positive reviews from critics. The majority of its collection was from Andhra Pradesh (including today’s Telangana region). Reportedly, it did a business of around 26 crore gross at the Indian box office.
