After a dismal opening day, earning just Rs. 1.25 crores in Hindi, the film’s collections dropped even further on its first Saturday. Hindustani 2 managed only Rs. 1 crore on its second day, bringing its two-day total to a mere 2.25 crores net. The film has faced outright rejection from the audience.

The worldwide gross for Indian 2 was around 55 crores on its first day but fell to just 30 crores on the second day. This brings the total worldwide collections to approximately 85 crores in two days, which is disastrous.
