The cultural impact of Gadar is a subject for discussions and dissection. Only a few films can survive the test of time the way this movie has. Even if the content is not nuanced or top-notch in the second run, it still has takers and those who made it possible for it to break some of the biggest box office records. As a set of films, the movies have continued one story, and a story that has stayed with the masses for two decades. Some of us grew up with it, only to witness the filmmaker reuniting the stars to make a sequel. Now as we move ahead and were curious about what happens next, Anil Sharma gave everyone a surprise.
In his latest comments, the filmmaker has revealed that the world does move ahead and that there is a Gadar 3 waiting for the audience and his loyal fans somewhere in the near future. Confirming the news, he has now raised curiosity, and one can only imagine the havoc the movie will create at the box office with the release. But let’s look at 5 crazy records that Gadar 2 broke in just a couple of days at the Box Office.
At the end of the day, it is these numbers that have made the threequel getting green signal a possibility. Read on.
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.
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.
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.
The elevation in box office success of Gadar 2 could be measured with the crazy advance bookings. For instance, for Independence Day, which was the fifth day after release, the movie sold 1.2 million tickets accounting for a total gross of Rs 30 crores in Advance Booking. You get the point now?
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.
