Gadar 2 is approaching the lifetime score of Baahubali: The Conclusion (Hindi), the first film to cross 500 crores in Hindi. The 2017 release earned 511 crores six years ago, and accounting for inflation and ticket prices, the actual number would be higher. However, if we only consider the absolute number, Gadar 2 will soon catch up with it.
The action saga directed by Anil Sharma has now surpassed the 508 crore mark and currently stands at 508.17 crores*. On Wednesday, an additional 2 crores* were added to the total, which is impressive considering it is the fourth week of its release. However, it could have benefited from a faster pace, especially with the release of Jawan today, and its impact remains uncertain.
The show timings for Gadar 2 were confirmed on Wednesday due to scheduling conflicts with Jawan and the continued success of Dream Girl 2. This poses a challenge for the exhibitors as they have multiple options to cater to.
Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma, is considered an all-time mega blockbuster. While it seems to have attracted the majority of its target audience, the arrival of Jawan will determine if there is still potential for it to attract more viewers.
