Gadar 2 box office collection day 10: Sunny Deol-starrer set to cross Rs 400 crore mark
Gadar 2 box office collection: Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2 minted Rs 41 crore on Sunday. The film’s total collection stands at Rs 377.20 crore.
The fervour surrounding Gadar 2 shows no signs of abating. Following its record-breaking second Saturday collection of Rs 31.07 crore, the film added Rs 41 crore to its Indian box office haul on Sunday, August 20, according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer, which is rewriting box office records at a remarkable pace, has now amassed a staggering total of Rs 377.20 crore and is set to cross the Rs 400 crore mark soon.
In the face of competition from Rajinikanth’s Jailer and Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 since its release, Gadar 2 remains a potent draw for moviegoers, as evidenced by its impressive Rs 40 crore opening day collection. The film’s strong box office performance has sustained over the weeks, with Sunday recording a commendable 72.60 percent overall occupancy rate. However, the movie is bracing itself for another challenge as Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday’s Dream Girl 2 is slated for release on Friday, August 25.
Gadar 2 has not only outstripped Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 320 crore) but has also surpassed the earnings of Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs 339 crore), PK (Rs 340 crore), and Sanju (Rs 342 crore) to claim the position of the fifth-highest grossing Hindi movie ever at the domestic box office. Emerging as the Hindi film industry’s biggest post-pandemic hit after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan, Gadar 2 has secured its place as a blockbuster.
Despite lukewarm reviews, Gadar 2 continues to set the cash registers ringing. The Indian Express critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film 1.5 stars and wrote, “Even when it came out, 22 years back, ‘Gadar’ was much too loud and melodramatic, very much the kind of doused-in-patriotism film that director Anil Sharma was known to make: that style was already going out of style. This iteration just reminds of you the loudness and the saccharine and the over-the-top dialoguing that new Bollywood had started shaking off, which we hoped was safely behind us. Clearly, in vain.”
