OMG 2 directed by Amit Rai and starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam is finally releasing in theatres today. It is a sequel to the super-hit dramedy OMG - Oh My God! The film faced a lot of troubles preceding its release. After being certified A with numerous modifications, the prospects for the sequel to OMG looked grim but it has been able to sell a good number of tickets in top 3 national chains prior to release. With 66 thousand tickets in top chains, the advances are better than all Akshay Kumar films since Good Newwz.

OMG 2 Has Sold 66000 Tickets In Top 3 National Chains For The Opening Day

OMG 2 has sold around 33500 tickets in PVR, 20,000 tickets in Inox and 12,500 tickets in Cinepolis. These are good numbers, especially considering the fact that it is releasing alongside a juggernaut like Gadar 2. The opening for the film can be anywhere around Rs 9 crores. A solo release would have guaranteed a Rs 10 crore plus opening day nett. The film is essentially a word of mouth film and good reviews may help it collect around Rs 60 crores in its first five days. It is to be noted that the early critic reviews are positive.
