Gadar 2 - The Katha continues has created havoc all over with an insane bumper opening recording occupancy which have not been seen in this modern era when films are releasing on these huge number of screens. This sort of craze has not been witnessed in recent times and takes you back to the old good days. Pathaan was pretty insane itself and KGF 2 but this is another level with the mass audience with record opening collections like for like..

More than collections its the euphoria at cinemas which is there and the vast volume of crowds being seen at cinemas which has not been seen for ages. Gadar 2 - The Prem Katha was a white horse which could have gone the way it has gone but could have easily gone the other way also. But as soon the teaser came out it just rekindled memories of Gadar Ek Prem Katha and since then there has been no looking back for the film as the trailer added extra momentum. It is basically hitting cinemas like a runaway train where momentum is just unstoppable.

Sunny Deol is a huge star in terms of popularity and face value with the masses but that has never been reflected in collections over the last decade and more due to films not having the elements needed mainly in terms of dialogues which create an impact. This one is like going back to the 90's and the days when no one could open like him on the first day.

The opening of the film is the biggest ever in many circuits but the film is not a solo release with Oh My God 2 releasing and holdovers also wanting multiplex space so the overall total is unlikely to match a Pathaan or a KGF 2 but despite these restrictions it will be challenging those films in many areas.

The standouts are Delhi / UP, Rajasthan and Bihar with no words to describe the opening here. West Bengal could have been better while many centres in East Punjab mainly Punjab political could also have done better. Sunny Deol was god in East Punjab in the 90's but joining politics may have taken the shine out of that. Still overall East Punjab will come out with a big first day number. South is surprisingly doing very well as this was expected to have low collections but the numbers are much better than expectations be it Hyderabad or Bangalore.
