The film collected a total of Rs 284.63 crore in its first week and Rs 134.37 crore in its second week at the box office. Gadar 2 went on to collect Rs 7.10 crore on its third Friday, Rs 13.75 crore on its third Saturday, around Rs 17 crore on its third Sunday and will likely make around Rs 5 crore on its third Monday.

The other two Hindi movies to cross Rs 450 crore are Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan (18 days) and Prabhas and Anushka Shetty-starrer Baahubali 2 (20 days).

Moreover, film critic and trade analyst Sumit Kadel said that Gadar 2 will likely cross Rs 500 crore and could emerge as an all-time highest grosser. He added that Gadar 2 managed to make great numbers despite its clash with OMG 2 on the release date and the release of Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Dream Girl 2 on August 25.

“Its certain now that Gadar 2 will cross ₹ 500 cr nett with ease, could also emerge All Time Grosser In India but the achievement of this film in terms of collections & ROI is UNPARALLELED. 500 cr nett + Biz in these scenario-  4000 screens with divided Shows, CLASH with OMG 2, NO FREE RUN, CLASH with another big franchise Dream Girl 2 on 3rd Week,  ATP much lesser than Event Films. Had it released Solo it’s lifetime biz would’ve been in excess of ₹ 650 cr in India. GADAR 2 IS THE BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER the country has witnessed since Gadar-1 – Period,” Kadel said in a post on X formerly Twitter.
