Gadar 2; OMG 2

It's the clash of sequels this Friday, as Gadar 2 and OMG 2 are hitting the big screens on August 11, 2023. The Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel-starrer cross-border love story is returning after two decades while the Akshay Kumar-starring film is coming back with a new story after a decade. Both films have fan bases owing to the incredible success of the first instalment. Thus, the screens and advance bookings are divided accordingly.

Screen count of Gadar 2

As per reports in Times Now, Gadar 2 has been successful in achieving a screen count of 3,500. If it weren't for the other businesses in the industry, the number may have been even higher. The reports suggest that the movie starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel has been able to secure a larger number of screenings all over India, and the total could end up being much greater.

Gadar 2 is expected to have the year's second-highest opening weekend, according to the reports. Pathaan starring Shah Rukh Khan, is expected to have the year's highest opening weekend. It's possible that Anil Sharma's movie would have a tremendous opening of between Rs. 20 and 25 crore. There have been some reports that say the movie might make a net of Rs. 25 crore on its first day of release; however, it's possible that it could be closer to Rs. 30 crore. The advance booking collection for Sunny Deol's film has been the biggest in the NCR, with the region contributing 23% to the share and having 450 showings in total. According to reports, the movie has brought in a total of Rs 96.28 lakh merely from advance bookings in NCR. In the meantime, the cities of Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad are among others that have made contributions as well.

Gadar 2 plot

22 years after the release of the first film in the series, Gadar 2 brings back Tara (Sunny Deol), Sakeena (Ameesha Patel), and Jeete (Utkarsh Sharma). In this sequel, which takes place against the backdrop of the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971, Tara Singh must, once more, battle every enemy in order to safeguard the honour of his country and his family.

Screen count for OMG 2

Reportedly, OMG 2 is, however, falling behind Gadar 2. When compared to the Anil Sharma film, it not only had a lower number of screens but also had fewer ticket sales. Even though the official number has not been released just yet, it is speculated that the movie will be shown in over 2000 theatres in India and over 300 theatres in other countries. This is a fairly respectable number, although it is not even close to Gadar 2 in terms of size.
