Mumbai, August 13, 2023 - "Gadar 2" has unleashed unparalleled favor across the nation, reaching excellent box office figures with each successive day. The movie has shattered records on its third day, marking one of the most massive single-day earnings in cinematic history. ## The highly awaited sequel, "Gadar 2," featuring the renowned Sunny Deol reprising his iconic portrayal of Tara Singh, has undertaken an extraordinary journey at the domestic box office. It has successfully garnered a great net collection of Rs 83.18 crore within the 2 days of release. The magnetic charisma of Sunny Deol has undeniably taken command of the box office arena. Following its triumphant record-breaking performance on the very first day, the film has continued to perform well. ## Gadar 2 has already broken several box office records, with its success projected to continue growing in the days ahead. If the current projections hold steady which is 51 CR, the 3rd day of the movie is poised to become the Highest-grossing 3rd Day in the history of Hindi cinema breaking Sanju's record which was 46.71 Cr. This achievement will propel the film's weekend earnings past around 134 crores Hindi net milestone. ## The movie's weekend performance ranks as the second most substantial in the Hindi film realm, trailing only behind Pathaan, a success boosted by a significant national holiday on its second day.

Box Office: Gadar 2 Third Day/First Sunday Early Estimates; Hits The Ball Out Of The Park

Mumbai, August 13 - Gadar 2 is taking the nation by storm and scoring historic collections with each passing day. The film hit the ball out of the park on its third day and registered one of the biggest single days of all time. East-West-North-South Gadar2 mania has gripped the nation. ## The growth today is over 15% as the movie collects an estimated 51-52 crores net which is phenomenal as yesterday was also a huge day. The jump comes in the multiplexes but even the single screens which hit capacity in the first two days have seen a surge in collections. Now more shows have been added and hence the capacity to collect has increased. If these number of shows were there on the first two days then the business would have been more. ## The first Sunday of the movie, if the estimate stays, will be the second biggest first Sunday in Hindi of all time. It will take the first weekend collections of the film to around 133 cr net mark which is simply historic as it is coming on a normal weekend. The film is the second biggest weekend of the Hindi film industry after Pathaan which was helped by the huge national holiday on the second day. The mass centers of UP-Bihar, Rajasthan, CP-Berar, and CI are seeing collections that have never been seen before by any film to date. These numbers have also come in a clash otherwise with a solo release Gadar2 would have done 155-160cr net box office on its weekend. ## Gadar2 has proved to be a bonafide blockbuster at the box office just like the original film in 2001. Tomorrow will be a big test for the film as it will be coming after three huge days at the box office but going by the booking the film is sure to stay on higher levels and even the 30cr net mark cannot be ruled out and that 30cr on normal Monday would mean a historic Monday. The film is looking to cross the 200cr net box office mark by independence day.## Stay tuned...
