Gadar 2 Box Office Collection Day 10: Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2' is maintaining its impressive run at the box office without any signs of slowing down. The film has effectively surpassed the Rs 375 crore landmark within the Indian market by Sunday. As it embarked on its second week on August 20, the movie met with a highly favourable response at the box office.

On Sunday, which marked its 10th day in theatres, 'Gadar 2' generated a substantial income of Rs 41 crore, effectively crossing the much-anticipated landmark of Rs 375 crore. This accomplishment propelled the total earnings of the movie to Rs 377.20 crore. Across the Hindi-speaking regions, the film maintained an overall theatre occupancy of 72.60 per cent. The movie's occupancy rate experienced an upward trajectory, starting from 50.53 per cent in the morning and climbing to 80.98 per cent during the afternoon, and reaching a high of 90.02 per cent in the evening. However, it dipped to 68.88 per cent during the nighttime screenings.
About Gadar 2:
In 'Gadar 2', the storyline revolves around Tara Singh's bold journey as he crosses the border, risking everything to free his son, played by Utkarsh Sharma, who has been held captive in Pakistan. Set in Lahore during the year 1971, 'Gadar 2' skilfully upholds the remarkable action sequences that the prequel was known for. It also effectively portrays Tara Singh's unyielding fury against those who promote hostility between India and Pakistan.
Anil Sharma directed the film 'Gadar 2', which hit theatres on August 11, coinciding with the release of Akshay Kumar's 'OMG 2'.
This film serves as a follow-up to 'Gadar: Ek Prem Katha', a 2001 movie that unfolded against the backdrop of the 1947 Partition of India. The narrative is believed to draw inspiration from Boota Singh, a former British army soldier, and his poignant love tale with Zainab, a Muslim girl he saved during the communal upheaval during the partition era. The original film featured Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in central roles, along with prominent actors such as Amrish Puri and Lillete Dubey.
