Vadh 2 continues its disappointing theatrical run on Day 9, collecting minimal amounts as the crime thriller faces severe competition from major Bollywood releases. The Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta starrer, directed by Jaspal Singh Sandhu, is struggling to maintain audience interest amid the arrival of Valentine’s Day releases O’Romeo and Tu Yaa Main alongside established blockbusters Border 2, Mardaani 3, and Dhurandhar.
The film’s cumulative collection has barely crossed Rs 3.5 crore after nine days, positioning it as one of the lowest-grossing Bollywood releases of 2026.

The Opening Weekend Performance
Vadh 2 had a relatively decent opening weekend with the film earning Rs 2.35 crore in its first three days (Friday-Sunday). The Day 1 opening of Rs 0.5 crore was respectable for a crime thriller without major commercial appeal. Day 2 saw a jump to Rs 0.85 crore (+70%), while Day 3 added Rs 1 crore, bringing the opening weekend total to Rs 2.35 crore.
However, the Tuesday-Thursday performances revealed the film’s lack of substantial word-of-mouth appeal. Collections consistently dropped, with earnings falling from Rs 0.35 crore on Tuesday to just Rs 0.2 crore on Thursday—indicating audience interest was waning rapidly.
The Sharp Friday-to-Friday Decline
The most concerning trend emerged on Day 8 (second Friday), when Vadh 2 collected only Rs 0.04 crore—representing a catastrophic 80% drop compared to Day 1’s opening Friday collection of Rs 0.5 crore. This second-weekend collapse demonstrates complete loss of audience momentum, crucial for sustaining theatrical runs.
The arrival of major releases O’Romeo and Tu Yaa Main further compressed Vadh 2’s screen space, limiting recovery possibilities. Combined with ongoing blockbuster competition from Border 2 and Mardaani 3, the film’s remaining theatrical window appears bleak.
Budget vs Collections: The Loss
Vadh 2 was reportedly made on a budget of approximately Rs 10 crore. With collections hovering around Rs 3.5 crore nett (approximately Rs 4.1 crore gross), the film has recovered less than 35% of its production investment. Industry estimates suggest the final theatrical run will conclude around Rs 4-4.5 crore, leaving a significant loss for producer Luv Films.
This positions Vadh 2 as one of 2026’s biggest flops, only marginally ahead of Mayasabha, which collected Rs 0.85 crore. The film underperformed its targeted benchmarks, failing to reach Happy Patel’s Rs 6.2 crore or Rahu Ketu’s Rs 6.37 crore collections.
Cast and Production Details
Vadh 2 starred veteran actors Sanjay Mishra as Shambhunath Mishra and Neena Gupta as Manju Mishra, reprising their roles from the original Vadh. The sequel also featured Kumud Mishra, Akshay Dogra, Shilpa Shukla, and Yogita Bihani in key roles. The film was directed and written by Jaspal Singh Sandhu and produced by Luv Films.
The crime thriller delved into themes of justice, conscience, and moral complexity within penitentiary systems, attempting to provide a gritty, psychological narrative continuation of the first film’s acclaimed success.
