Total: ₹113.67 crore. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”  Gadar 2 and OMG 2 were released in theatres on August 11. The Sunny Deol starrer has surpassed the lifetime earnings of blockbuster movies like War and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The film has collected ₹375.10 crore at the box office.

The film stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Ananya Panday in lead roles. Taran Adarsh said, “100 NOT OUT… OMG 2 speeds yet again… The current trends suggest OMG 2 should comfortably cross ₹125 crore mark… Whether or not it reaches/crosses ₹150 crore will depend on how Dream Girl 2 fares… [Week 2] Fri ₹6.03 crore, Sat ₹10.53 crore. Total: ₹101.61 crore. #India biz. #Boxoffice.”

After OMG 2 entered the 100-crore club, director Amit Rai told news agency PTI, “We are happy people have loved the film. The intent of the film was pure. Nobody wanted to titillate the audience, hence they liked it. We have dealt with it (the story) in a way that doesn't sound vulgar. We talk about the reality but in a sweet and humorous way.” OMG 2 also stars Yami Gautam in a pivotal role. 

Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar will be next seen in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The film, directed by  Ali Abbas Zafar, also stars Tiger Shroff.
