Gadar 2 Is Sunny Deol’s Highest Earner

Sunny Deol has done a long list of films, and his filmography is studded with many massive films. But it took him a Gadar 2 to have the highest earning movie of his career. The film that managed to enter the Rs 100 crore club in just three days is the actor’s highest earning film ever.

Massive First Sunday Numbers

While these numbers have mostly changed after Animal, Gadar 2 at the time of release scored the second highest first Sunday ever at the box office. The movie managed to earn Rs 51 crore at the domestic box office, and that was a massive number. The movie stood behind Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan that released in the same year.

Highest 3 Days Collection (Hindi)

A movie so crazy that it managed to earn Rs 134 crore in just three days? Gadar 2 was a monster during the box office run, and the only concern was which record it breaks. It stood at the third position on the list instantly as it was led by KGF 2 and Pathaan.

Highest Third Day Collection

While on the streak to victory, Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer didn’t even leave Sanju And Baahubali. It left the two biggies behind to collect the biggest third day collection ever. Gadar 2 earned Rs 51 crore on day 3, and that was a number that left everyone shocked.
