Gadar 2 is not only revitalizing the Hindi film industry but also propelling Sunny Deol back into the spotlight as a bona fide crowd-puller at the Box Office. It stands as the highest-grossing film for the entire ensemble associated with it, and for Sunny, it serves as a much-needed triumph on the ticket sales front. Over the past 12 years, the actor has starred in 10 films, all of which have either turned out to be complete disasters or outright flops. Gadar 2 puts an end to that drought for the actor.
Directed by Anil Sharma, this film has become Sunny’s first movie to gross over Rs 100 crore and Rs 200 crore. Following its first week of earnings, it’s projected to reach around Rs 286 crore (early estimates), with a crossing of the Rs 300 crore mark in just two days – establishing it as Sunny’s first Rs 300 crore grossing film. The 65-year-old star last experienced box office success in 2011 with the release of ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana 1’, which collected a total of Rs 54.93 crore in its Indian theatrical run, as reported by Box Office India. None of his subsequent films managed to surpass the Rs 30 crore mark. Sunny’s last film prior to Gadar 2 was ‘Blank’, released in 2019, which only amassed a meager Rs 5 crore in its entire box office run and was deemed a complete failure.
Meanwhile, Gadar 2 is the second-fastest Hindi movie after Pathaan to cross the Rs 200 crore mark at the Box Office, achieving this milestone in just five days. It is now on track to surpass Rs 300 crore in net collections by the end of its second weekend.
Here’s the breakdown of Gadar 2’s first week box office collection (sacnilk):
Friday: Rs 40.1 crore
Saturday: Rs 43.08 crore
Sunday: Rs 51.7 crore
Monday: Rs 38.7 crore
Tuesday: Rs 55.4 crore
Wednesday: Rs 32.37 crore
Thursday: Rs 25 crore (early estimates)
Total: Rs 286.35 crore
Gadar 2 is poised for an even more colossal second weekend. The film is already experiencing capacity constraints in theaters and is running as a full house in most cities. The upcoming second weekend is expected to set new and astonishing records for Sunny and the entire film team. Stay tuned for the latest updates on Gadar 2’s box office performance!”
