Box Office: Gadar 2 Second Wednesday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 23 - Gadar 2 continues its excellent trend on the second Wednesday of its box office run as the early estimate collections suggest another double-digit day. The film has shown a drop of around 15%. It is expected to continue with the same momentum for the next couple of days and the third Friday is going to be very crucial for Gadar 2 when Dream Girl 2 will release. ## The early estimate suggests 10-10.50 crores net collection on the film's second Wednesday. This takes the total collection of the movie to around 411 crores net in 13 days. The film will beat the numbers of KGF2 by Saturday to emerge as the second-highest-grossing film in Hindi ever and then the race for the top spot will begin. ## It is still a long way for Gadar 2 to cross the numbers of Pathaan though the historic 500cr net number looks well within the range. The film won't be affected by Dream Girl 2 much and it will have an open run until the release of Jawan on 7th September.## Gadar 2 has emerged as one of the blockbusters of this century with the first Gadar film in 2001 leading the pack of the biggest hits followed by Dangal, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and 3idiots. These are the top 5 biggest hits of this century to date and two of them are Sunny Deol starrers who is one of the biggest stars ever.##

'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...

Box Office: Gadar 2 Second Monday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 21 - Gadar2 has shown a good hold on its second Monday as the early estimate collections suggest 14 crores net and might go higher which remain to see. The hold today confirms that the film is going to have another super strong run this week also. ## The second Monday collections will take the total collections of Gadar 2 to 389 crores net which is all-time 4th highest in Hindi. Gadar2 will be the second film from the Hindi film industry to cross the benchmark of 400c net. Earlier Pathaan rewrote history by collecting more than 500cr net box office mark. Other than these, we have two south imports Bahubali2 and KGF2 which crossed the 400cr net mark.## The hold on Monday was very crucial for Gadar2 to reach the 500cr net number. The film has smashed all records by a distance till now. Tuesday and Wednesday should be in double digits or near double digits and then the third weekend will again see huge jumps. There will be a competition in the form of Dream Girl 2 but that should not be affecting the audience of Gadar2.## Gadar2 has emerged as the biggest hit of the year and is on course to be the highest-grossing film of the year ousting Pathaan. The industry is in a much better position with consecutive successes but what makes this year legendary is three all-time blockbuster hits in the form of Pathaan, The Kerala Story, and Gadar2 and there could be another one or two to end the year on a historic note.## Stay tuned...
