Anticipation is building up for the much-awaited film "Gadar 2," featuring the dynamic duo Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel. The movie's advance booking phase commenced earlier this week, and the response has been nothing short of spectacular. As of Sunday morning at 11 am, the film has already managed to sell an impressive 45,000 tickets across three major national cinema chains: PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis, solely for its opening day.

The excitement doesn't stop there, as "Gadar 2" is on track to cross the 50,000-ticket milestone in no time. Industry insiders predict that the final count for advance bookings could reach an impressive 200,000 plus ticket sales by Thursday night. This level of enthusiasm has positioned "Gadar 2" to secure the second-highest opening of the year, following closely behind "Pathaan." Given its well-managed budget, the film is poised to become a definite box office hit.

One remarkable aspect of "Gadar 2" is its ability to recover its entire investment through its theatrical run alone. This achievement is particularly noteworthy in the post-pandemic era, where such successes have become rare. The movie's appeal extends beyond the national cinema chains; even in non-national chains, it has managed to achieve extraordinary advance bookings. In fact, it's second only to "Pathaan" in this regard. In single screens and non-national multiplexes, "Gadar 2" is on course to match or even surpass the impressive numbers set by "Pathaan."

With such an outstanding pre-release buzz, it's all but confirmed that "Gadar 2" will secure an opening exceeding Rs. 20 crores. The real question now is whether the movie will maintain its momentum on the weekdays and achieve an opening day figure beyond Rs. 30 crores. If it does, "Gadar 2" will establish itself as one of the most significant non-holiday openings in cinematic history.

The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel, and Utkarsh Sharma in lead roles. Its release on August 11 is set to coincide with another much-anticipated film, "OMG 2," creating an exciting clash at the Indian Box Office. As audiences eagerly await the clash of these titans, "Gadar 2" stands poised to deliver a truly memorable cinematic experience.
