Gadar 2 Bollywood Predictions and Competition
As per Bollywood Hungama, the buzz around the film suggests it might amass up to Rs 175 crore in five days and potentially enter the prestigious Rs 300 crore club. The publication also projected a three-day opening weekend collection near Rs 125 crore. Notably, the film has already set a new personal record for the lead actor, Sunny Deol, becoming his highest-grossing film since his debut in the 1980s.
Interestingly, 2023 has seen some stiff competition. While 'Gadar 2' made waves, Shah Rukh Khan's 'Pathaan' secured a higher opening day collection of Rs 57 crore. Conversely, 'OMG 2', starring Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar, garnered only Rs 10.26 crore on its debut day. But with positive reviews and growing public interest, 'OMG 2' may emerge as a strong contender against 'Gadar 2'.
