''The #BO performance of #Gadar2 is a REVELATION in mass pockets… The craze for this film is UNPARALLELED… In fact, after a very, very long time, the multiplexes as well as single screens in mass sectors are experiencing this kind of HYSTERIA. #Boxoffice.''

The film is all set to surpass superhit films like Salman Khan's Sultan (Rs 300 crore), Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat (Rs 302 crore). And, in a few days, the film will cross the lifetime collection of blockbuster's like Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs 320 crore), Tiger Zinda Hai (Rs 339 crore), PK (Rs 340 crore), and others.

The film becomes Bollywood’s second-biggest opening of 2023. As per the box office number tracker Sacnilk, the film collected around Rs 40 crore on its opening day. With impressive numbers, the film became the second-highest opener of this year after Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, which is still in the top spot. The blockbuster film opened up with Rs 55 crore.

Directed by Anil Sharma, the film also stars Ameesha Patel, Utkarsh Sharma, Simratt Kaur, Manish Wadhwa, Rohit Chaudhary, Gaurav Chopra, Luv Sinha, Rakesh Bedi, Dolly Bindra and others.

WION's review of Gadar 2

Film critic, Shomini Sen writes, ''In Gadar 2, Deol also hurls a cannon at a crowd and beheads people with a single swig of a hammer similar to the one that Thor yields in Marvel films. Thor is God, Deol is superhuman but they are more or less the same people. Deol, in his 60s, is in fine form and carries the outlandish, melodramatic film on his shoulder very well. He has Utkarsh Sharma playing his onscreen son and sidekick who gets his moments to shine as well in the film with action sequences and dialoguebaazi. He is Anil Sharma's son and hence gets a substantial role after Deol.'' Read full review here.
