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...

Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' Off To Strong Advance Booking In The USA

Mumbai, August 18 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next blockbuster, action thriller "Jawan" which is scheduled to release on September 7. Directed by Atlee Kumar, the movie is a hotly-awaited Pan India movie that is expected to be a big box office winner.## The movie is less than four weeks away from its worldwide release and the advance booking has already started opening in some of the international markets. The early overseas pre-sales of the movie are highly encouraging and are better than SRK's recent blockbuster "Pathaan" in many territories.## In the USA, "Jawan" is off to a very good start and has already sold approximately 10430 tickets worth $161.40K from 385 locations, according to Venky Reviews, as of 9 AM, August 24 (IST). The locations and shows will be increased in the coming days as the movie is projected to take a bigger start than Pathaan in the USA. ## Pathaan grossed approx. $1.85 million on the opening day in North America, and Jawan will be looking to outgross that number comfortably. The other markets where advances have opened are also painting similar pictures (numbers will be updated soon). Overall, the trade is expecting Jawan to take the overseas opening of around 50 crores which will be the biggest Bollywood opening ever, beating Pathaan which grossed 37 crores on the opening day overseas.## Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan tells the story of a person who sets out to rectify the wrongs in society with help from a group of women. It stars Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role, alongside Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, and Sanya Malhotra while Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt play special appearances. ## Jawan will release on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, in 2D as well as in IMAX format.## Stay tuned...

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. However, after continued efforts, the movie got censored but not the way the makers would have liked. It was granted an "A" rating (18+ only) while the team wanted "U/A" which was denied.## During a recent interview with ETimes, Amit Rai said that he is still trying to convince the censor board members to change their decision and give the movie "U/A" certificate. 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...
