Jawan vs Gadar 2 at the box office

Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's film Gadar 2 released on August 11 and it brought a tsunami at the box office. The film received rave reviews from the audience and the nostalgia effect helped the film to get a major boost in box office numbers. Gadar 2 turned out to be one of the highest grossing films of 2023 as it crossed the Rs 500 crore mark at the Indian box office. However, it seems Jawan mania has had an impact on Gadar 2's pace. As reported by Sacnilk.com, Gadar 2 may earn Rs 1.50 crore on its 28th day. A day prior, the film made approximately Rs 2.92 crore. It seems Gadar 2 registered its lowest numbers on the day Jawan made it to the theatres. And with Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan craze only growing bigger, it now seems that Rs 600 crore club is a distant dream for Gadar 2. But overall, Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel's film is a success story that will be remembered for ages to come.
