Not too long after, Gadar 2, despite a clash with OMG 2, not just entered the Rs 500 crore club but also crossed the collections of Pathaan to become yet another all time grosser in Hindi. Gadar 2's record lasted just a day as Jawan mania gripped the nation. Animal, despite a clash with Sam Bahadur, and with an A-rating, became the fourth Bollywood film to net Rs 500 crore in Hindi. Stree 2 is the newest addition to the list of Bollywood films to net Rs 500 crore in Hindi.
