Sunny Deol's film Gadar 2 has been unstoppable at the box office, raking in over ₹261 crore in its first six days. The film crossed the ₹200 crore mark on Independence Day, making it the highest-grossing film of the holiday weekend. It has also become the highest-grossing film of Sunny Deol's career.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has described Gadar 2's performance as "typhoon-like," "tsunami-like," and "hurricane-like." He says that the film is "unshakable" and "unaffected" by competition, and that it is especially popular in "mass pockets" (i.e., theaters in smaller towns and rural areas).
Gadar 2 is a sequel to the 2001 film Gadar, which was also a major box office success. The new film tells the story of Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), a Sikh man who falls in love with a Muslim woman, Sakina (Ameesha Patel). The film is set against the backdrop of the 1947 partition of India and Pakistan.
Gadar 2 has been praised for its action sequences, performances, and patriotic message. It is a clear crowd-pleaser, and it is likely to continue to do well at the box office in the coming weeks.
