The Big Box Office Clash On Independence Day Weekend 2023 Confirmed

Mumbai, June 10 - The Independence Day weekend of 2023 is going to witness a big box-office battle among three Bollywood films that are carrying a lot of expectations, and as of now, no one seems to be looking to back out from taking two others films head on.

Ranbir Kapoor-starrer gangster drama Animal with director Sandeep Reddy Vanga was announced for August 11, 2023, release last year. It is easily one of the most-anticipated and potential blockbuster Bollywood movies that will also be released in dubbed versions of other languages.



Until earlier this year, "Animal" was the only big-budget film scheduled for Independence Day weekend release before Sunny Deol-fronted Gadar 2 - The Katha Continues makers decided to take on the gangster drama at the box office and confirmed to hit screens on the same day as "Animal".

"Gadar 2", which is the sequel to the all-time blockbuster "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" (2001), is itself one of the most-awaited films of this year. Just when it was looking like only "Animal" and "Gadar 2" will release during Independence Day weekend, Akshay Kumar made things further complicated by announcing the release date of his social comedy-drama OMG 2.

"OMG 2", which has been in production for quite some time now, announced an August 11 release, confirming a three-way epic battle at the Hindi box office. There were rumors that "Animal" will get postponed as some work is reportedly pending, however, the latest reports have confirmed that it is very much on for an August 11 debut. It is also learned that the teaser of "Animal" will be launched tomorrow (June 11) with the re-confirmation of the release date.

There are still two months for the makers of all three films to think about averting the clash and three big films on the same day is not good, as far as the box-office prospects of the movies are concerned.
