Even after 17 days since its release, Sunny Deol‘s “Gadar 2” refuses to slow down. Industry tracker Sacnilk’s early estimates reveal that the film garnered Rs 17 crore on its third Sunday, August 27. The movie is now on the verge of achieving the monumental Rs 500 crore benchmark, with its total domestic earnings at Rs 456.95 crore.
Demonstrating unwavering consistency into its third week, “Gadar 2” has become the fastest film to breach the Rs 450 crore mark at the box office, outpacing the achievements of Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pathaan” and Prabhas’s “Baahubali 2: The Conclusion”, reports The Indian Express.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted about the same and wrote, “NEW RECORD… ‘GADAR 2’ FASTEST TO CROSS Rs 450 CR… #Gadar2 will cross the enviable Rs 450 cr mark in #India today [Sun]… In the past, only #Pathaan and #Baahubali2 #Hindi had cruised past Rs 450 cr mark… ⭐️ #Gadar2: Day 17 [today] ⭐️ #Pathaan: Day 18 ⭐️ #Baahubali2 #Hindi: Day 20 #India biz. Nett BOC. #Hindi version only.”
After a slight deceleration in the previous week, “Gadar 2” maximized the potential of the weekend, drawing large audiences to theaters for the sequel to the 2001 war drama. Gadar 2’s release coincided with OMG 2, and although the Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar-starrer faced tough competition, it managed to hold its ground, accumulating Rs 3.65 crore on Sunday and amassing a total collection of Rs 135.02 crore.
Recently, Sunny Deol expressed his gratitude by recording a video while on a flight. He took to his Instagram and thanked moviegoers for showering love. In the video, Sunny said, “First and foremost thank you all. I never imagined you guys would like Gadar 2 so much. We have crossed 400 crores because of you all.”
