Gadar 2 continues its dream run at the box office on its thirteenth day of release. Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s film has been in theaters for 13 days.
Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2 is already the second-highest grosser of 2023 and it seems like the film is maintaining momentum into its third week. After 13 days in theatres, the film has made Rs 411.10 crore at the Indian box office, as per industry tracker Sacnilk. On its 13th day, the Anil Sharma film made Rs 10.40 crore (early estimates).
The film’s collections are especially impressive as it was made at a budget of Rs 60 crore. Anil recently told News 18 India, “We have made this film in the budget of just Rs 60 crore when people are talking about Rs 600 crore films.” Anil had previously said that Sunny reduced his fee for the sake of the film. He also shared that since they were working with limited budget, they did not put up any sets for the period film and did not use any visual effects.
Gadar 2 is trailing behind Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan which made Rs 543.05 crore during its run in Indian theatres. Pathaan became the biggest grosser of the year after its release in January. It seems likely that Gadar 2 will surpass Pathaan’s domestic collection.
The film had a clean run at the cinemas for two weeks, but in its third week, Gadar 2 might witness some competition from Ayushmann Khurrana’s Dream Girl 2, which also stars Ananya Panday. The film is the sequel to the 2019 film, which was a big hit at the box office at the time.
Recently, film director Karan Johar spoke about Gadar 2’s success at Express Adda and said, “Gadar has blown everyone’s brains away because it was a film which was hugely successful in 2001, and now in 2023, it is breaking every record. I have been so glad for the single screens.” Gadar was one of the biggest hits of the year 2001 and 22 years later, the sequel has turned out to be a success all over again.
