Gadar 2 Review: Sunny Deol Is Back With More Jingoism And Over-The-Top Action

Mumbai, August, 11 2023 - After a span of 22 years since Gadar: Ek Prem Katha made waves at the box office, Anil Sharma presents a sequel that endeavors to revive the heart-swelling patriotism and familial affection amidst the backdrop of war. ## 'Gadar 2' takes place 17 years after the original movie, set amidst the tensions of the 1971 war with Pakistan. Tara Singh embarks on a mission to rescue his son Jeeta, leading to a familiar confrontation between India and Pakistan. The film hints at multiple exciting moments beyond what the trailer reveals. The music, which combines old and new songs, remains a strong point, evoking a sense of nostalgia. ## In a key scene from 'Gadar 2', during an intense clash between Indian and Pakistani fighters, a giant hand pump unexpectedly grabs everyone's attention. Sunny Deol pauses, looking at it with a half-smile. It's a playful nod to the jokes about him pulling pumps out of the ground. The audience chuckles, connecting the movie to the fun references. ## Sunny Deol's performance truly shines. The movie seems to serve as a platform for Anil Sharma's son Utkarsh and his acting seems to leave a strong impression. 'Gadar 2' offers moments of comedy and nostalgia. The viewing experience reflects the changes in Indian cinema and audiences over time, showcasing both its charm and limitations. ## Gadar: The Katha Continues, featuring Sunny Deol in the lead role, has kicked off with a bang at the Indian box office. Initial estimates suggest an impressive opening day collection ranging between Rs. 38 to 40 crores. The movie has exceeded all projections, surprising even the most hopeful members of the film industry. ## The early morning shows witnessed a monstrous start, surpassing the morning shows' occupancy even when compared to Pathaan, which enjoyed a wider release. Despite going head-to-head with KGF2, the film's performance was exceptional. ## Gadar2's opening will secure the second-highest position for Hindi films, trailing only Pathaan. Overall, it will stand as the third-highest post-pandemic opener, following Pathaan and KGF2. However, when viewed from a different perspective, Gadar2 has surpassed Pathaan to claim the record for the highest opening day footfall. This achievement is largely attributed to the substantial collections from single-screen theaters, where ticket prices are notably lower compared to Pathaan or KGF2. ## The film has its sights set on a massive extended weekend, positioning itself among the greatest extended weekends of all time. Gadar2's trajectory seems boundless, and it's poised to attain the coveted legendary box office status, just like its predecessor—an accomplishment only a handful of films have achieved to date. ## Stay Tuned To Sacnilk...

Box Office: Gadar 2 Opening Day/First Friday Early Estimates; Creates Havoc At The Box Office

Mumbai, August 11 - The mega sequel to the all-time blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha has been released at the box office with an unprecedented opening. The film is on its way to creating history by recording bumper collections wherever it has been released. ## It took a monstrous start in the early morning shows eclipsing the morning shows with the occupancy of Pathaan (Pathaan had wider release) and its head-to-head with KGF2. It was an easy 50cr opener had it released solo like KGF 2 and Pathaan as it hit the capacity. In many places, the film is recording over-capacity collections in centers of Rajasthan and Bihar which is simply outstanding. ## The early estimate collection of Gadar 2 suggests the opening of 38-40 crores net box office and might go further which remains to see. The opening is historic everywhere but in mass centers, this type of opening has never been seen before by any film to date and it may well be the only film until and unless a brand bigger than Gadar releases at the box office which is again an impossible task.## Sunny Deol has delivered a bumper opening after a very long time but his stardom and popularity have always remained huge. Overall Sunny Deol has delivered more than a dozen bumper openers and is among those rare 5-6 stars who crossed more than 10 bumper openers at the box office. The longevity of his bumper opener is probably the biggest ever as Betaab his debut outing was released 40 years ago in the same month of August to a bumper response. ## The opening of Gadar2 will be the second highest after Pathaan for Hindi films and overall it will be the third-highest opener ever post-pandemic behind Pathaan and KGF2 though if you look from the other angle Gadar2 has simply gone over Pathaan to record the highest opening day footfall film as the major chunk of collections are coming from the single screens where ticket rates are way lesser than Pathaan or KGF2.## The film is targeting a massive extended weekend and it will be among the biggest extended weekends of all time. The film is set to go anywhere from here and the legendary box office status is on for the film just like its predecessor which only a handful of films have managed to date.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 11 - Akshay Kumar-starrer social comedy-drama film "OMG 2" has taken a decent start at the domestic box office.

The movie is now in a better position to score over the Independence Day week than where it was standing before release.## The advance booking of the movie for the second day is much better which shows that word of mouth coming into play. The movie should score a healthy jump tomorrow and Sunday before carrying the momentum till Independence Day. The early trend is positive and the movie could emerge as a much-needed box-office success for Akshay Kumar.## Stay tuned...

Gadar 2 Is Set To Go Berserk At The Box Office On Friday

Mumbai, August 10 - The hype for Gadar 2 is high and it can be seen in the advance booking of the film which is outstanding with the main day to follow. The advance is competing against the biggest advances of Hindi films post-pandemic like Pathaan and Brahmastra. In smaller centers, it is bound to be the biggest advanced film ever beating KGF Chapter 2.## Gadar 2 is a sequel to the all-time blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha which was released in 2001 and belongs to the league of Sholay, Mughal-e-Azam, Mother India, and Hum Aapke Hain Koun as to the greatest box office blockbusters of all time and it is still the biggest hit of this century, bigger than the likes of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dangal, and 3 Idiots. ## The original movie had an opponent in 2001 in the form of Lagaan and even its sequel Gadar2 is having an opponent in the form of OMG2 which is again a sequel of a superhit OMG back in 2012 but OMG2 holds less appeal compared to OMG due to the subject of the film. It will be again a one-horse race like 2001 where Gadar smashed all records by leads and bounds. At the end of the day, it was a bad decision from the makers of OMG2 to go up against something as legendary as Gadar at the box office despite the restricted appeal of OMG2.## The projection of Gadar 2 opening currently is looking around 35cr net which will be an extraordinary opening but a higher number cannot be ruled out too the way the film is generating the hype. If the film manages to touch around the 40cr net box office mark then it will become the highest opening day footfall film beating Pathaan which was hugely helped by the enhanced ticket rates in the premium multiplexes. The advance in standalone multiplexes are comparable to Pathaan and in single screens, it will be bigger than any film to date. ## The Bumper opening will give a chance to Gadar2 to score the blockbuster 300cr net figure at the box office but that will depend on the public appreciation of the film. If the content of Gadar2 is appreciated like its prequel then all records will be smashed.## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, August 10 - In August 2021, Farhan Akhtar announced his directorial comeback after 10 years with an all-female-led road trip movie "Jee Le Zaraa", featuring Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, and Katrina Kaif. ## The shoot of the movie was supposed to commence in 2022 but got delayed as the leading trio was busy with their already-committed projects. Earlier in the year, Farhan Akhtar delighted fans by sharing pictures of him scouting for locations to shoot the movie. ## However, just when things were looking on track, rumors started making rounds on social media regarding the film's lead cast, after it was reported that Priyanka walked out of the project due to date issues.

OMG 2 Advance Booking Status and Opening Day Box Office Expectations

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...
