Box Office: OMG 2 First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 17 - Akshay Kumar's social comedy-drama film "OMG 2" sees a drop of around 35% on its first Thursday. The drop was expected considering the movie is coming after a long holiday period, however, the drop is slightly on the higher side. ## The early estimates suggest the first Thursday collection of the movie in the range of 5.25 crores net which takes the total collection of the movie to over 84.50 crores net in the full first week. The multiplexes continue to drive the biz while smaller centers remain dull due to Gadar 2. ## "OMG 2" will be targeting 22+ net collections in the second weekend which will take its total collection to over 100 crores net. It has emerged as a clean hit and the hold during the second week will decide how long it can go at the box office. ## The film has had a couple of major challenges in its way which has affected its biz big time. Firstly, the movie is "A" rated, and secondly, it was released with a volcano like "Gadar 2" which is going bonkers at the box office. However, despite the adds, "OMG 2" has done really well in the first week and this momentum is expected to continue in the coming days.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Gadar 2 First Thursday Early Estimates

Mumbai, August 17 - Gadar 2 records its first drop on its first Thursday but the overall collection continues to remain solid after a very strong as early estimates suggest in the range of 22.50 crores net which is a very good number as these numbers are coming after the film has already consumed 250cr plus worth of audience. There is a drop in the multiplexes but the single-screen cinemas continue to drive the film. The first Thursday numbers will take the total collections of the film to around 284 crores net which is an extraordinary collection and better than the lifetime collections of major blockbusters of the last decade or so. The first week collections of around 284 crores will be the second-highest first week of all time after Pathaan which comfortably crossed the 300cr net box office mark. This 284 cr net first week has come in a clash with OMG2 so on fair value the film would have crossed the 325cr net mark easily had it released solo like Pathaan or KGF2.## The key from here is the numbers on the second Friday is tomorrow and the hold on the second Monday. These days will determine the lifetime collections of the film or give an idea about that. The target is huge to chase with Pathaan sitting at the top as the highest-grossing film ever though 500cr net looks well within the range for Gadar2. ## Gadar2 has emerged as the all-time blockbuster and the biggest hit of the year at the box office. Sunny Deol has delivered some of the biggest blockbusters ever in the form of Betaab (1983), Ghayal (1990), Border (1997), and Gadar (2001) and these were the biggest hits of their respective years. Only a few stars have more biggest hits of the year compared to Sunny Deol which makes him one of the biggest stars in the history of Hindi cinema.## Stay tuned...

Director Amit Rai Reveals How Akshay Kumar's Courage Saved 'OMG 2'

Mumbai, August 17 - The sequel to Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal-starrer 2012's film "Oh My God - OMG" was finally released on August 11, 2023, and against all odds, it is set to emerge a big success. Directed by Amit Rai, "OMG 2" features Akshay as Lord Shiva in an extended appearance while this time, Pankaj Tripathi takes the central role with Yami Gautam.## "OMG 2" has had its own struggle story before hitting cinemas. The makers had to fight an internal battle with the censor board as board members were initially not willing to grant a censor certificate to the movie.

He also revealed that he took some intelligent steps to save the film from so many cuts for which, the VFX team worked continuously to make certain changes. ## Censorship issues aside, Amit Rai revealed that "OMG 2" would have never been made had Akshay Kumar not backed it. The movie deals with sex education in India and it has been given a religious angle to convey the message. Rai said that due to its subject, filmmakers like Karan Johar, Ashutosh Gowariker, Sony Pictures, and others had rejected the script and it was on the verge of getting shelved.## After many filmmakers rejected it, Akshay Kumar came forward and showed the courage to back it. "He was very open to the script and said that the film needs to be made. Because of him, we're still standing strong otherwise 'OMG 2' wouldn't have got made. I met Ashwin Varde, Vipul D Shah, and Rajesh Bahl and through them, I reached Akshay Kumar. If I hadn't managed to reach him, the script would have remained in some corner", the filmmaker said.## Produced by Akshay's Cape of Good Films, Viacom18 Studios, and Wakaoo Films, "OMG 2" is going strong at the box office and scored approx. 108 crores gross collection worldwide in just 6 days. The movie has managed to withstand the "Gadar 2" wave and script its own story to emerge as a success.## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Gadar 2 First Wednesday Early Estimates; Mayhem Continues

Mumbai, August 16 - Gadar 2 mayhem continues at the box office after the historic 5-day Independence Day weekend domestically. On its first Wednesday/sixth day, Gadar 2 scores an estimated 34-35 crores net which is simply outstanding and unbelievable to describe. The sort of occupancy the film is running with has never been seen for ages and we have to go back to 2001 to see similar occupancies when Gadar: Ek Prem Katha broke all records and before that, it was Hum Aapke Hain Koun in 1994. These two are the biggest box office blockbusters of the modern era or post-Sholay era. ## The first Wednesday collections will take the total collections of the film to around 264cr net box office mark depending on where the actual Wednesday numbers arrive. A few days back the first week total was looking to settle around 275cr net office mark is now looking to beat that figure by margin and is looking to settle around the 290cr plus mark. Even a mammoth 295cr can be achieved the way Gadar2 is performing at the ticket window. ## The film has broken every record in single screens especially the ones in the heartland like the single screens of UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Central India and CP Berar. East Punjab which did not start with record numbers has joined the party. These are the core Hindi circuits that make the difference between a regular blockbuster and a legendary blockbuster. Mumbai circuit is on par with any film to date except for the mighty Bahubali: The Conclusion.## Gadar2 has emerged as an all-time blockbuster at the box office and became the only franchise in the history of Hindi cinema where both films got all-time blockbuster verdicts. A near 300cr first-week collection has provided a platform for the film to cross the magical 500cr net number but we have to wait for the second Friday and Monday numbers. Even if the film gets short to 500cr it is easily the biggest hit of the year.## Stay tuned...
