With this, Gadar 2's total box office collection has touched ₹134.88 crore. Sharing the updates, Taran Adarsh said, “Tara Singh smashes the #BO with his sledgehammer… #Gadar2 creates #Gadar at the #BO… The GLORIOUS opening weekend proves, yet again, that *well-made* desi entertainers will never go out of fashion… All eyes on #IndependenceDay: Picture abhi baaki hain… Fri 40.10 cr, Sat 43.08 cr, Sun 51.70 cr. Total: ₹134.88 cr. #India biz.”
Taran Adarsh further added, “It's crystal clear by now - if #Gadar2 was a solo release, NOT clashing with another #Hindi film - it would've easily added another ₹ 30 cr in its *weekend total*.” For context, Gadar 2 clashed with Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 at the box office.
Meanwhile, on Saturday,Gadar 2 collected over ₹43 crore at the box office. As per Taran Adarsh, the numbers show that the film “will comfortably cross ₹ 200 crore in week 1”.

Total: ₹ 83.18 cr. #India biz (business) Blockbuster.”
On day 1 alone, Gadar 2 collected over ₹40 crore. In a tweet, Taran Adarsh explained, “#SunnyDeol unleashes his power… All pre-release calculations / estimations go for a toss… #Gadar2 runs riot at the #bo, is sensational on day 1… flying start all over… second highest opener of 2023… fri ₹ 40.10 cr. #India biz. 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 - #Gadar2 is simply historic in mass pockets. Now imagine its potential on #IndependenceDay big holiday [on Tue].”
