Gadar 2 crosses ₹400 crore, Sunny Deol's film likely to challenge ₹500 crore club's Pathaan and Baahubali 2

Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 crossed the ₹400 crore mark at the domestic box office on Tuesday. It's likely to challenge the collection of Pathaan and Baahubali 2.

Sunny Deol's Gadar 2 has crossed the coveted ₹400 crore mark at the domestic box office. This has allowed it to become the only member of the ₹400 crore club. It's behind only two films that are part of the ₹500 crore club - Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and SS Rajamouli's Baahubali 2: The Conclusion. (Also Read: Will Gadar 2 beat Pathaan's box office records?

Gadar 2 may soon challenge Pathaan and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

Gadar 2 crosses ₹400 crore

Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted the day-wise milestones of Gadar 2 at the domestic box office. The film crossed ₹100 crore in just 3 days, ₹200 crore in the next two days, ₹300 crore in 8 days, and most recently, ₹400 crore in 12 days, i.e. less than two weeks of runtime.

Gadar 2 to challenge Pathaan, Baahubali 2

The trade analyst has predicted that Gadar 2 is sure to challenge the domestic box office collections of Pathaan and Baahubali 2. While Pathaan stands as the highest domestic grosser at ₹543.05 crore, Baahubali 2: The Conclusion's lifetime domestic collection is ₹510.99, as per the figures provided on Bollywood Hungama.

Given Gadar 2's current trajectory, it is likely to surpass the ₹500 crore mark by the end of this week. Only Ayushmann Khurrana-starrer Dream Girl 2 will serve as its fresh competition this week, as the comedy film releases in cinemas on August 25.

Whether Gadar 2 is able to sustain interest and pose as a threat to Pathaan will be seen in the coming week. Its momentous run is most likely to get thwarted by the release of another Shah Rukh Khan film, Atlee's action thriller Jawan, that hits the cinemas as a pan-India phenomenon on September 7, on the occasion of Janmashtami. Prior to that, Gadar 2 still has two weekends and a mid-week holiday of Raksha Bandhan to score big.
