Anil Sharma’s Gadar 2, featuring Sunny Deol in the lead, has outperformed Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan in its quest to become the highest-grossing Bollywood movie in India. However, it still needs to surpass another SRK blockbuster – Jawan – to claim the ultimate position.
Gadar 2 has achieved a stunning collection of ₹524.75 crore in India. Now, you might wonder how the sequel managed to surpass Yash Raj Films’ Pathaan, which earned ₹543.09 crore domestically at the Box Office. Here’s the twist.
The entire revenue for Gadar 2 came from its Hindi version as it was released exclusively in that language. On the other hand, Pathaan was released in Tamil and Telugu as well. From the Hindi shows alone, Gadar 2 collected ₹524.53 crore, while the remaining ₹18.56 crore came from the other two versions.
