Son of Sardaar is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Ashwni Dhir. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Juhi Chawla. A remake of the 2010 Telugu film Maryada Ramanna, it was released on 13 November 2012.

Although competing with the Yash Raj film Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Son of Sardaar managed to do good business at the box office worldwide. It received a divided response, with praise for its humour, the performance of the entire cast, stylised action sequences, and familiar tone, but criticism for the screenplay. Box Office India declared it a superhit in India and in the overseas markets. It went on to gross 161.48 crore (US$19 million) worldwide.

A standalone sequel, Son of Sardaar 2, was released on 1 August 2025, with Ajay Devgn reprising his role alongside an ensemble cast featuring Mrunal Thakur, Vindu Dara Singh, and others.
