Indian Express
that the film’s earnings should not be affected because it is arriving two weeks after Endgame, which has slowed down at the box office.
SOTY 2 has joined the list of Hindi language films released this year that crossed the Rs 10 crore mark in opening day earnings. Kalank takes the top spot followed by Kesari , Gully Boy and Total Dhamaal .
Directed by Punit Malhotra, the film produced by Karan Johar, Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta under the banner of Dharma Productions.
