In a dominating show of box office prowess, “Gadar 2” starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel is rewriting the records books. Following a spectacular opening weekend and an impressive Independence Day haul, the film has now comfortably crossed the ₹250 crore mark, with its eyes set on surpassing even bigger milestones.
After an explosive opening at ₹40 crore on Friday, the film’s collections continued to surge, reaching ₹51 crore on Sunday. While Monday saw a slight dip with ₹38.7 crore, the celluloid juggernaut bounced back with a staggering ₹55 crore on Independence Day. As per early estimates reported by Sacnilk.com, “Gadar 2” has amassed around ₹263.48 crore domestically.
Industry insiders and trade analysts are now speculating whether the film could dethrone this year’s blockbuster “Pathaan.” Expressing his optimism, film exhibitor Akshaye Rathi shared, “Going by the trajectory it’s on, Gadar 2 can possibly beat not just Pathaan, but any record there is. It’s absolutely on a rampage right now. What you witnessed in cinemas on August 15 across India is absolutely historic.”
