Gadar 2 box office collection Day 18: Sunny Deol film sees significant fall on third Monday, passes Rs 460 crore

Gadar 2 races towards Rs 500 crore mark

However, Gadar 2 recently broke Pathaan’s record by becoming the fastest film to breach the Rs 450 crore mark at the box office. It also became the third-highest grossing Hindi movie of all time. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Crosses KGF 2, next Baahubali 2… After crossing *lifetime biz* of #Dangal, #Gadar2 overtakes #KGF2 #Hindi… #Gadar2 is now third highest grossing #Hindi film in #India… Continues to smash #BO records at mass sectors…” He also noted that the film has started its “triumphant” run towards the coveted Rs 500 crore mark.

How are other Bollywood films faring at the box office

Amid the Gadar 2 mania, the other Bollywood releases, OMG 2 and Dream Girl 2, are also thriving at the box office. OMG 2, which was released alongside Gadar 2 on August 11, has earned Rs 137.07 crore so far. This week’s new release, Dream Girl 2, starring Ayushmann Khurrana, comfortably minted Rs 40.71 crore within the first three days of release.

Anil Sharma recently spoke about filmmakers fudging box office numbers of their films to portray them as hits. He also said Gadar 2’s figures are absolutely real. “What’s happening these days is, and it is a very sad thing, that sometimes a film doesn’t become a hit, so the makers give fake numbers, buy tickets themselves and do a lot of other things to make their brand. But the audience feels cheated. That is damaging, because when another film comes, the audience doesn’t turn up. They feel, ‘Ye sab jhoote log hai, fake log hai‘,” Sharma told Puja Talwar.
