₹40 crore on the first day, according to a report by Sacnilk.com. The report adds that Gadar 2 is expected to earn around ₹45 crore in net collections on the second day. Film analyst Taran Adarsh also noted that Gadar 2 has collected 40.10 crore in the domestic market on the first day, making it the second highest opener of 2023.

He added that unlike other films which have major contributions from national chains like PVR, Inox and Cinepolis, Gadar 2 is on a " record-smashing spree" in mass sectors and single screens. Gadar 2 is being touted as one of the highest anticipated sequels in 2023, with Director Anil Sharma attempting to recreate the magic of the 2001 original film. The film is set in 1971 around 17 years after the events of the original film.

While speaking about his onscreen character Tara Singh, Sunny Deol said (as quoted by PTI), "Tara Singh is our Hulk, Superman. Every man wants to watch Hulk and Superman. He believes that (the hero) on screen will set things right.

Like there are Marvel Comics, here is Tara Singh. You don't draw these powers from working out. These are emotional powers," Meanwhile, Director Anil Sharma has said that he tried to maintain the ‘piousness’ of Gadar 2 in the sequel, he said, “We have maintained the piousness of 'Gadar' in 'Gadar 2'.

We have shot 90 per cent of the action in real. It gave us rawness. We shot around 500 bomb blast sequences.
