India biz.” Taran Adarsh added that the movie has been performing extraordinarily properly in mass pocket chains and tweeted, “Mass sectors and single screens are on a record-smashing spree … Unlike most films – which have major contribution from the national chains [PVR, INOX, Cinepolis] and barely 20% to 30% from mass sectors – Gadar 2 is simply historic in mass pockets. Now imagine its potential on #IndependenceDay big holiday [on Tue].”

Gadar 2 clashed with Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 on the field workplace. The latter minted Rs 10.26 crore on its opening day. Helmed by Anil Sharma, Gadar 2 is the sequel to the 2001 hit Gadar. In the sequel Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma have reprised their roles of Tara Singh, Sakeena and Jeete, respectively.

Gadar 2 launched to common opinions. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his evaluation for NDTV, gave the movie 2 stars out of 5 and he wrote, “Gadar 2 is strictly for three categories of people: Sunny Deol fans, those that miss the unbridled excesses of Bollywood of yore, and those that believe that “hate thy neighbour” is an axiom worth cheering for in a movie theatre. The film has enough to please them all – and then some.”
