Mumbai, August 9 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is coming to the big screen with the sequel to his superhit movie "OMG" (2012), also starring Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam. Directed by Amit Rai, "OMG 2" has been in the news for the last few days regarding its censorship which has been the talk of the talk.## "OMG 2" deals with a very sensitive issue of sex education and the religious angle in it has kept the censor board busy. After closely reviving the movie, "OMG 2" managed to get done with censorship formalities with some changes and has been censored with an "A" certificate (adult only) with the approved run-time of 2 hours 36 minutes. ## The movie is expected to release on over 1500 screens nationwide, mainly due to the hugely hyped "Gadar 2" which is releasing on the same day (August 11). The "Gadar 2" juggernaut is clearly affecting the advance booking of the Akshay Kumar-starrer, which, however, still manages to put up decent pre-sales.## Even though the hype of OMG 2 gets reduced due to Gadar 2, the pre-booking of the movie is much better than Akshay Kumar's last release "Selfiee". As of 5 AM on August 11, "OMG 2" has sold approx. 113K tickets worth 3.3 crores gross for the opening day. In three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis), the film has sold approx. 70K tickets. ## The final pre-sales of the movie is expected to finish over 100K tickets overall, including around 70K tickets in PIC. It will mainly target multiple audiences and has less scope to score in smaller centres due to "Gadar 2". ## The advance booking trend of OMG 2 indicates the opening of at least 8 crores net and has a good shot at hitting the double-digit mark if the talks are positive. If it opens in the expected lines, it will be a decent start considering the scenario around it. The positive word of mouth could significantly boost its chances over the Independence Day week. ## The movie is the sequel to a hugely successful film, be it critically or commercially and this is one of the biggest pluses it is currently having. Despite lagging behind the Sunny Deol-led movie, OMG 2 has its audience which is expected to turn in over the weekend, and as said, if it manages to get positive WOM, things can change drastically in its favour which the makers will be hoping for.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 2 - The Independence Day 2023 week is expected to be a big money spinner at the Indian box office with multiple tentpole movies lined up for release across different languages. There is Rajinikanth's much-awaited Tamil blockbuster "Jailer" as well as Chiranjeevi's Telugu movie "Bhola Shankar", and two of the highly-awaited Bollywood biggies, Akshay Kumar's "OMG 2" and Sunny Deol-fronted "Gadar 2". ## "Gadar 2: The Katha Continues", which is the sequel to the all-time blockbuster "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" (2001) has been one of the most anticipated Bollywood movies ever since it was announced. As the release date is getting nearer, the anticipation for the movie is going up with each passing day, especially, after the teaser and trailer launch.## Directed by Anil Sharma, "Gadar 2" is expected to release on over 3500 screens nationwide and advances were opened nearly two weeks before the release. It is one of the very few movies post the covid-19 pandemic to open advances so early and it seems the decision to open early bookings is bearing fruit for the film. It has sold approx. 720K tickets worth approx. 17.60 crores gross collection as of 5 AM on August 11. In three national chains, the movie has sold approx. 285K tickets with PVR leading with 120K tickets for the opening day, which is excellent. ## Going by the pre-booking trend, "Gadar 2" looks like a big opener at the box office and is set to emerge as the second-biggest opening day grosser for an outright Bollywood movie of 2023. It is a complete mass entertainer with a patriotic theme that has a tendency to explode in advances in the last couple of days. With one day to go, the trend indicates an opening of around 35 crores net and might go towards 40 crores which remains to see. These are high-end projections that might change if word-of-mouth is not favorable. However, the movie is the sequel to an all-time blockbuster, which has generational fans who are expected to turn in, so the opening of 35 crores looks like a safe bet.## "Gadar 2" is set 20 years after the events of the first movie. It is set against the backdrop of the "Crush India" campaign in 1971 when Tara Singh (Sunny Deol) travels back to Pakistan on a personal mission to save his son Charanjeet "Jeete" Singh (Utkarsh Sharma) who is imprisoned and tortured by the Pakistan soldiers under Major General Hamid Iqbal. ## The movie is produced by Anil Sharma Productions in association with Zee Studios. The film stars Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma reprising their roles from the first film while it also features Simrat Kaur, Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra, and Luv Sinha in key roles. It is scheduled to release on August 11 and will clash with Akshay's "OMG 2".## Stay tuned...
