Gadar 2: The Katha Continues, directed by Anil Sharma and starring Sunny Deol, Ameesha Patel and Utkarsh Sharma is all set to release in theatres in a little over a day. The film is a sequel to the all time blockbuster Bollywood film Gadar: Ek Prem Katha and the fact that it is a sequel of such a celebrated film has ensured excellent pre-sales. With a day and a few hours still to go, the Sunny Deol starrer has sold 1.25 lakh tickets in national chains, indicating that by the end of the advance bookings period, it will have sold well over 2 lakh tickets. While the bookings are excellent in national chains, they are outstanding in non national chains and single screens.

Gadar 2: The Katha Continues Has Sold More Tickets Than Blockbuster Films Like RRR (Hindi), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Drishyam 2 A Day And A Few Hours In Prior

Gadar 2: The Katha Continues has sold 1.25 lakh tickets in top 3 multiplex chains as at 5pm on August 9th, 2023. Of the 1.25 lakh tickets, PVR has contributed around 53000 tickets and Inox and Cinepolis have managed to have sales of around 43000 tickets and 29000 tickets respectively. This means that Gadar 2 has already sold more tickets than blockbuster films like of RRR (Hindi), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 and Drishyam 2. As mentioned earlier, the film will have sold over 2 lakh tickets by the end of 10th August, 2023. It is to be noted that Gadar 2 is releasing alongside OMG 2. Since there are programming issues, the Sunny Deol led film is facing capacity issues in a few centers. In all likelihood, the film would have had a better opening had there be no screen-sharing issues.
