Kathmandu : The sequel of the highly acclaimed hit Hindi film ‘Gadar’ has created a significant buzz at the box office since its release. However, before its release, no one had anticipated that ‘Gadar 2’ would make such a remarkable impact.
From its release on Friday, ‘Gadar 2’ showed immense potential in terms of opening collection, indicating a promising run at the box office. But the third day’s performance, which was witnessed on Sunday, has surpassed all expectations and has left everyone astonished, unimaginable, and incredulous.
After an opening collection of over 40 crores on Friday, ‘Gadar 2’ demonstrated a strong surge in earnings on Saturday. With a collection of 43 crores on the second day, the total collection reached 83 crores in just two days.
The film’s initial advance booking for Sunday had indicated a good response, and the third day’s earnings further emphasized its strong momentum. While the third-day earnings also increased, such substantial growth may not be achievable for even big-budget films.

Now, ‘Gadar 2’ stands as the second-highest earning Hindi film on Sunday. With this collection, the film has managed to earn over 134 crores in just three days.
