Gadar 2 beats Pathaan Box Office collection, inches close to Jawan to become the highest-grossing ever in India
Gadar 2, directed by Anil Sharma, has beaten Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan in a bid to become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever in India. The sequel to Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, however, still has to beat another SRK blockbuster - Jawan - to claim the crown. Gadar 2 has minted ₹524.75 crore in India.
Now, if you are wondering how - with that number - the sequel managed to beat Yash Raj Films’ Pathaan which earned ₹543.09 crore in the domestic Box Office, here comes the twist. The entire collection for Gadar 2 came from its Hindi version as that was the only language it had been released in. Pathaan, on the contrary, was released in Tamil and Telugu as well.
The movie, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, earned ₹524.53 crore from Hindi shows whereas ₹18.56 crore came from the other two versions.
