Gadar 2 VS Pathaan: Can Sunny Deol’s Epic Beat SRK’s Film’s Lifetime Box Office Collection? Experts Weigh In

Gadar 2 vs. Pathaan BO Clash: Gadar 2 which marks the blockbuster return of Sunny Deol on the big screen is fiercely competing against Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan for box office supremacy. Gadar 2 was released in theaters on August 11.

As Gadar 2 continues to dominate the silver screen after 17 days of its release, speculations are rife if Sunny Deol's epic saga can surpass Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan in terms of lifetime collection.

WILL GADAR 2 OUTSHINE PATHAAN'S LIFETIME COLLECTION?

Now, as per data provided by film critic, Cine Hub, Gadar 2 has amassed an impressive 456 crore rupees within 17 days of release. On the other hand, Pathaan currently holds the lead with 464.8 crore rupees.

With a narrow margin of 9 crore rupees between them, the question arises whether Sunny Deol's film can bridge this gap and ultimately outshine Pathaan's lifetime collection on the domestic ticket window, which stands at a noteworthy 524 crore rupees.

The powerful on-screen chemistry of Tara and Sakina in Gadar 2 has struck a chord with audiences, resulting in packed theaters nationwide. Even after two weeks, the film's popularity remains unwavering, as evidenced by lengthy queues outside cinemas. This sustained interest has translated into impressive box office figures, with the film experiencing significant growth during its third weekend.
