Get ready for some Bollywood magic, folks, because Gadar 2 is taking the box office by storm! The sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar has burst onto the scene, delivering an explosive opening that’s got everyone talking. Sunny Deol, the man of the hour, made his mark 40 years after his debut in Betaab, and boy, did he make it count.
Picture this: Gadar 2 raked in a whopping Rs 40 crore on its very first day in theaters – talk about making a grand entrance! According to the industry whizzes at Sacnilk, the film notched up an impressive overall occupancy of over 60% on day one, with night shows reaching a jaw-dropping 86% occupancy. Take that, Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan! While Pathaan still holds the record for the biggest Bollywood debut ever at Rs 55 crore, Gadar 2 showed it’s no small fry, leaving Prabhas’ Adipurush in the dust with its Rs 32 crore opening.

Now, here’s where the plot thickens. Adipurush may have thrown in a surprise challenge by hitting Netflix and Prime Video on the same Friday, but Gadar 2 isn’t backing down. It’s locked in a cinematic showdown with Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 and Rajinikanth’s Jailer. And guess what? Gadar 2’s got its eye on the prize up north, while Jailer is mainly catering to the South Indian audience. Let’s not forget the success story of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which has been owning theaters for a solid two weeks.

Hold onto your popcorn because this is where the real excitement lies – word on the street is that Gadar 2 could be gunning for a spectacular opening weekend tally of Rs 120 crore, with a staggering Rs 175 crore in the bag over the extended Independence Day holiday. Box Office India is spilling the beans about record-breaking numbers on those single screens across Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, and Gujarat, though Punjab and West Bengal could have dialed it up a notch.

But here’s the twist: it’s all about the buzz. The insiders over at Bollywood Hungama are buzzing about what the audience has to say, and let’s just say not everyone’s singing the film’s praises. The Indian Express’ very own Shubhra Gupta gave it a fair two stars out of five, mentioning that it doesn’t exactly break new ground. Directed by Anil Sharma and featuring the talents of Utkarsh Sharma and Ameesha Patel, Gadar 2’s got some big shoes to fill after the first flick wowed audiences back in 2001, earning a jaw-dropping Rs 130 crore worldwide.
So there you have it, folks – Gadar 2 has roared onto the scene, capturing hearts, screens, and a whole lot of box office moolah. Will it rewrite the record books? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Bollywood’s got a new showstopper, and it’s called Gadar 2!
