Box Office: Gadar 2 Third Sunday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 27 - The historic run of Gadar 2 continues at the box office as the film yet again creates mass hysteria on the third Sunday. The early estimate suggest 17 crores net collection today which is excellent numbers. This type of appreciation has never been there for any Hindi film and the only film that had this sort of appreciation was Gadar: Ek Prem Katha way back in 2001.## The growth has come mainly in the smaller single screen which is the target audience and these audiences are repeating the film which brings back the memories of blockbusters in the bygone era where the audience used to repeat the film two, three, or even four times. The third weekend collections of Gadar 2 will be around the 37 crores net mark depending on the actual Sunday number which is a huge business.## The third Sunday collections will take the total collections of the film to around 457cr net and with this, the film has emerged as the fastest 450cr film in India beating Pathaan. The huge third-weekend collection has once again given the film a chance to cross the landmark 500cr net mark which looked difficult when the collections dropped on Thursday. There is a big holiday to push the film on Wednesday and in all probability the film will be the third 500cr net grosser in the Hindi format after Bahubali2 and Pathaan. ## Gadar2 is an all-time blockbuster film and will also emerge as the most-watched film post-pandemic. Sunny Deol film in a Clash has once again come on the top and has a great track record in clashes. His biggest career hits be it Gadar, Gadar 2 or Ghayal came in a direct clash with major superstars like Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar. In 2001, Sunny Deol went up against Shah Rukh Khan who was at his prime when Indian and Ashoka locked horns at the box office and yet again Sunny Deol starrer came on top thrashing Ashoka. These are some solid box office clashes of all time featuring major superstars.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 26 - Gadar 2 which smashed records in the second week as it emerged as the highest-grossing second-week film post-pandemic has witnessed huge growth on the third Saturday of its box office run. The early estimates suggest 12.50 crores net collection today, which is around 75% growth from Friday.## This is a phenomenal trend for the north-based mass action film and if the film sees another growth like this tomorrow then it is almost certain to join the 500cr net and even beat Pathaan to emerge as the biggest ever in the Hindi format. The growth is universal and across the board and hence the film could see another big jump tomorrow as the appreciation for the film is just next level. ## These collections are coming against opponents like OMG2 and Dream Girl2 and if not for these the film would have already crossed the 500cr net by now. The other huge blockbusters post-pandemic KGF2 and Pathaan had free runs at the box office for 3-4 weeks but Gadar2 had competition from the first show despite that the film has managed these historic collections. ## The third Saturday collections will take the total collections of Gadar2 to around 339 crores net box office mark. The third weekend of the film now stands around 20 crores net box office mark with Sunday yet to come and the film is certain to clock around 37-38cr or even higher.

Box Office: Gadar 2 Third Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 25 - Gadar 2 has shown a superb hold on the third Friday of its box office run as the early estimates suggest 6.50-7 crores net collection. These collections are excellent for Third Friday especially because Dream Girl 2 was released today and has taken away major showcasing in the multiplexes which drives the business on Friday and Saturday.## The third Friday collections of Gadar2 will take the total collections of the film to around 426 crores net mark. The film will cross the 450cr net box office mark by this weekend but how far it can go will decide the final lifetime business. It is expected to take around 35cr net box office collections in the third weekend which will keep it in the race to breach the 500 crores net mark.## Irrespective of the lifetime business, Gadar 2 has emerged as the biggest hit of the year and is among the biggest blockbusters of all time. Even the footfalls of the film are likely to be more than any other Hindi film released post-pandemic as the smaller centers just went bonkers for Gadar 2, unlike other blockbusters which were driven by the multiplexes where the average ticket price exceeds the national average rates. ## Gadar2 has proved to be a huge comeback for Sunny Deol who remains one of the box office stars ever from Hindi cinema and at this age, no other star has delivered such a massive blockbuster in the leading role. It will be his second biggest blockbuster behind Gadar: Ek Prem Katha but much bigger than the likes of Border, Betaab, and Ghayal which were also mammoth blockbusters.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 25 - Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's social comedy-drama film "OMG 2", which features Pankaj Tripathi in the central role along with Yami Gautam, is having a very good run at the box office. It has hit 176 crores gross collection at the worldwide box office in two weeks and emerged as a big success.## "OMG 2", which is based on sex education in India, was heavily censored as reports suggest that CBFC asked for as many as 27 cuts in the film to avoid any controversy. It was still censored with an "A" certificate (adults only) despite these many cuts but the good thing is that these things didn't affect much as far as the box office is concerned though it kept a section of the audience away from theaters.## While the movie was released in cinemas with a censored version, director Amit Rai has confirmed that the post-theatrical OTT release of the movie will have a complete director's version. The filmmaker said in a recent interview with the team was forced to make changes for its theatrical release but assured that the OTT release will have the uncut version and the scenes that were not in the theatrical print will be included in the streaming version.## Produced by Akshay Kumar's Cape of Good Films in association with Viacom18 Studios and Wakaoo Films, "OMG 2" is the story of Kanti Sharan Mudgal, whose son is blamed for immoral conduct and is thrown out of school. Upon confrontation, Kanti realizes that his son has been a victim of misinformation and misguidance and to avoid any crisis, Kanti decides to leave the town with his family, until he has a divine intervention that steers him towards the truth. Kanti then decides to take on everyone responsible by taking them to court. ## Stay tuned...
