OMG 2 directed by Amit Rai and starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam finally released in theatres after numerous issues that it faced prior to its release. The film has put up a reasonable first day as it has collected around Rs 9 to Rs 10 crores nett. It clashed with a box office juggernaut like Gadar 2: The Katha Continues and had it released on another Friday with a smaller or lesser known film, it could have had a much bigger opening. Regardless, the good reports should work in favour of OMG 2 and a 5 day total in the vicinity of Rs 65 crores looks quite likely.

OMG 2 Has Taken The 8th Biggest Opening For A Hindi Film In 2023

The top 3 multiplex chains have contributed around Rs 5.50 crores nett for OMG 2. The exhibition outside the three national chains is limited and so, the film hasn't got big numbers outside them. OMG 2 is a sequel to the much loved film OMG - Oh My God! and ideally the sequel should be doing wonders. However, it isn't as easy as it sounds since this Akshay Kumar starrer was certified 'A' with numerous modifications and released alongside a film like Gadar 2. OMG 2 has taken the 8th biggest opening for a Hindi film in 2023, behind Pathaan, Gadar 2, Adipurush, Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, Bholaa and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.
