An electrifying clash between Sunny Deol and Akshay Kumar is on the horizon as they prepare to compete at the box office just before Independence Day.

Similar to the Barbenheimer wave that brought immense success and delighted audiences, we’re now gearing up for an exciting showdown of our own. Audiences are eagerly anticipating Sunny’s portrayal of Tara Singh, a character that promises thrilling action and memorable dialogues. In contrast, Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi’s collaboration relies heavily on word-of-mouth promotion.
Turning our attention to the first day’s advance booking, Gadar 2 is surpassing all expectations, hinting at the possibility of securing the second or third largest opening of 2023 in Bollywood. The film has taken everyone by surprise, having already sold tickets worth an impressive 2.60 crores across the nation, excluding blocked seats. And there’s still a generous six days left until the release!
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi’s OMG 2 are experiencing a slower pace in advance booking, struggling to gain the momentum needed. As of now, the film has managed to sell tickets worth 42 lakhs for the opening day in India. This figure pales in comparison to the robust sales of Sunny Deol’s starrer, making it evident that the competition is fierce, at least for the initial day.
