Gadar 2 has finally hit a speed bump, raking in only Rs 2.6 crore nett on Tuesday, with Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan shattering records with advance booking numbers ahead of its release on September 7, according to Box Office India report.

The Sunny Deol-starrer has so far amassed a staggering Rs 506.27 crore nett in total collection. Despite emerging as the fastest Hindi movie to join the Rs 500-crore club, Gadar 2 now faces a formidable challenge in its pursuit of becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. Currently, Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan holds that record with Rs 524 crore nett in domestic box office collections, followed closely by the Hindi version of S.S. Rajamouli's visual epic Baahubali: The Conclusion at Rs 510.99 crore nett.

Box Office India predicts that Gadar 2 will end its fourth week in theatres with a total collection of Rs 509 crore nett. The action drama began its box office journey by amassing a humongous Rs 284 crore nett in just seven days. By the end of its second week in theatres, the film had garnered Rs 420 crore nett. Although its momentum has since waned, the movie still managed to end its third week with a commendable Rs 483 crore nett in collections.

The sequel to Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which had collected Rs 76.88 crore domestically, Gadar 2 brought back the on-screen pairing of Sunny Deol as Tara Singh and Ameesha Patel as Sakeena. The sequel focuses on Tara Singh's return to Pakistan to rescue his son Charanjeet (Utkarsh Sharma) after the latter finds himself on the wrong side of the border.

On the other hand, Ayushmann Khurrana's Dream Girl 2 has accumulated Rs 92 crore nett since its release on August 25, while Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 managed to earn Rs 148.27 crore nett in 26 days since its release.
