Since it was released, Sunny Deol and Anil Sharma's action drama Gadar 2, which is centered on India and Pakistan, has been blazing in theaters. The film broke a lot of records at the box office and termed it as 'blockbuster'. It's also to be noted that Gadar 2 has outperformed Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan at the ticket window. For the uninitiated, on day 22, Gadar 2 collected 4 crore at the box office whereas Pathaan collected 3.6 crore on its day 22.
Now, with only one week to the release of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, it appears like SRK will surpass Sunny Deol in box office take. After the release of Jawan on September 7, Gadar 2's storm is likely to be calmed at the box office. The impact of the Jawan trailer is already seen at the day one box office and advance booking collection for the high-octane action drama Jawan.
Gadar 2's fourth week of release has begun, and the movie is edging closer to earning Rs 500 crore at the Indian box office.
Will Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 be able to fend off Shah Rukh's Jawan at the box office?
The Sunny Deol film stands at the total collection of Rs. 486.75 crore. The film is just Rs. 13 crore away of entering the Rs. 500 crore club, but as the advance booking of the film Jawan has taken over the ticket window, the race towards 500 crore club for this Anil Sharma directorial will now become slower than expected. It won't be difficult for the movie to accomplish this, though, as the movie will easily pass the 500 crore milestone even if its box office receipts are on the lower side. Once Jawan is out, though, it will be challenging for the movie to remain competitive.
