Gadar 2, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2001 blockbuster, featuring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel, has been making waves at the box office. With a current domestic total standing at ₹263.48 crore, the film is on track to cross the ₹300 crore mark soon.

The movie, which had a robust opening at ₹40 crore, saw an upward trend, reaching ₹51 crore on its first Sunday.
