Emerging as the fourth film to bank over Rs 400 crore, Gadar 2 achieved this feat after Pathaan, Baahubali 2 and KGF 2. With Pathaan being the latest release of 2023 to achieve the feat and the first film after the epidemic to register such an overwhelming response, here is a day-wise box office comparison of the Sunny Deol starrer and Shah Rukh Khan's trailblazing film.
Despite competing with Akshay Kumar's OMG 2, Gadar 2 is running with houseful boards on single screens across the country and is making box office history with each passing day. Interestingly, the film also became the highest-grossing Bollywood film on Independence Day, earning Rs 55.40 crore on August 15.
Gadar 2, directed by Anil Sharma, is a sequel to the 2001 successful film of the same name. In the movie, Sunny played Tara, a truck driver, and Ameesha Patel played Sakeena in the film, which was set during India's partition in 1947. However, Gadar 2 follows Tara Singh as he crosses the border in a daring attempt to save his son, Utkarsh Sharma, who has been kept captive in Pakistan.
