Box Office: Gadar 2 Third Saturday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 26 - Gadar 2 which smashed records in the second week as it emerged as the highest-grossing second-week film post-pandemic has witnessed huge growth on the third Saturday of its box office run. The early estimates suggest 12.50 crores net collection today, which is around 75% growth from Friday.## This is a phenomenal trend for the north-based mass action film and if the film sees another growth like this tomorrow then it is almost certain to join the 500cr net and even beat Pathaan to emerge as the biggest ever in the Hindi format. The growth is universal and across the board and hence the film could see another big jump tomorrow as the appreciation for the film is just next level. ## These collections are coming against opponents like OMG2 and Dream Girl2 and if not for these the film would have already crossed the 500cr net by now. The other huge blockbusters post-pandemic KGF2 and Pathaan had free runs at the box office for 3-4 weeks but Gadar2 had competition from the first show despite that the film has managed these historic collections. ## The third Saturday collections will take the total collections of Gadar2 to around 339 crores net box office mark. The third weekend of the film now stands around 20 crores net box office mark with Sunday yet to come and the film is certain to clock around 37-38cr or even higher. The film will be around 460cr net box office mark or near about after the business on the third Sunday and then it will all boil down to the holds on the weekdays which will determine whether Gadar2 will settle around In the final run.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Gadar 2 Third Friday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 25 - Gadar 2 has shown a superb hold on the third Friday of its box office run as the early estimates suggest 6.50-7 crores net collection. These collections are excellent for Third Friday especially because Dream Girl 2 was released today and has taken away major showcasing in the multiplexes which drives the business on Friday and Saturday.## The third Friday collections of Gadar2 will take the total collections of the film to around 426 crores net mark. The film will cross the 450cr net box office mark by this weekend but how far it can go will decide the final lifetime business. It is expected to take around 35cr net box office collections in the third weekend which will keep it in the race to breach the 500 crores net mark.## Irrespective of the lifetime business, Gadar 2 has emerged as the biggest hit of the year and is among the biggest blockbusters of all time. Even the footfalls of the film are likely to be more than any other Hindi film released post-pandemic as the smaller centers just went bonkers for Gadar 2, unlike other blockbusters which were driven by the multiplexes where the average ticket price exceeds the national average rates. ## Gadar2 has proved to be a huge comeback for Sunny Deol who remains one of the box office stars ever from Hindi cinema and at this age, no other star has delivered such a massive blockbuster in the leading role. It will be his second biggest blockbuster behind Gadar: Ek Prem Katha but much bigger than the likes of Border, Betaab, and Ghayal which were also mammoth blockbusters.## Stay tuned...

'Dream Girl 2' Advance Booking Status And Early Opening Day Box Office Prediction

Mumbai, August 22 - Ayushmann Khurran and Ananya Pandey-fronted comedy-drama film "Dream Girl 2" is getting ready to release on August 25. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and produced by Balaji Motion Pictures, Dream Girl 2 is a spiritual sequel to the 2019 film Dream Girl. ## Being a sequel to a box office hit movie, Dream Girl 2 is carrying a lot of expectations as far as the box office numbers are concerned. The good thing about the movie is that there is awareness among moviegoers due to its successful history and unique promotion strategy. ## The movie has been able to fetch decent advance sales so far which is encouraging considering the sold competition from the holdover movies "Gadar 2" and "OMG 2". As of 8 PM on August 22, the film has sold approx. 27K tickets worth 80 lakhs for the opening day. In three national chains, it has sold approximately 17.4K tickets, including 12.4K tickets in PVR, 2750 tickets in INOX, and 2250 tickets in Cinepolis.## The current pre-sales trend of the movie indicates the opening in the range of 7-8 crores. It will get some push in the spot booking due to the strong franchise record and this could lead it to a double-digit start. If the WOM is positive, which will be crucial for its long run, DG2 will get a further boost to achieve a double-digit opening. The first movie scored 10.05 crores net and now, the sequel will also try to repeat that.## The mid-range films have started to perform well and this is actually a very good sign for Dream Girl 2 as things haven't been easy for these kinds of films post the covid-19 pandemic. The last couple of months have been really good for Bollywood and Dream Girl 2 will look to continue the momentum.## The movie stars an ensemble cast featuring Ayushmann Khurrana as Pooja Dream Girl/Karamveer "Karam" Singh, alongside Ananya Panday, Paresh Rawal, Annu Kapoor, Rajpal Yadav, Vijay Raaz, Asrani, Abhishek Banerjee, Manjot Singh, and Seema Pahwa in key roles.##

Box Office: Gadar 2 Second Tuesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 22 - Gadar 2 continues to see superb hold on the second Tuesday of its box office run as early estimates suggest 11.50 crores which can go to 12 crores net collection which is only a 10-15% drop from yesterday. The final collection may vary a little bit depending on the performance of mass centers.## The second Tuesday collections will take the total collections of Gadar 2 to 400 crores net box office mark give or take a few lakhs. The film has become only the second Hindi film to cross this benchmark after Pathaan and both of them were released this year only which is the biggest plus for the industry. ## Gadar 2 will continue this trend for the next couple of days and it will be Thursday and Friday which will determine where the film is going. No doubt the film will see growth on the third weekend but Thursday and Friday numbers should be good enough to get the benefit of the jumps over the weekend.## The movie is on course to breach the 500 crores net box office mark though it looks tough to beat the Pathaan numbers to emerge as the highest-grossing film ever that is mainly due to the unprecedented business of Pathaan in the first five days. Also, Gadar 2 numbers are coming against an opponent in the form of OMG2, and with a solo release, there was no question that Gadar2 would have dethroned Pathaan.## Irrespective of the final business, it has emerged as the biggest hit of the year and one of the biggest hits of this century.## Stay tuned...
