After a prolonged hiatus, the iconic Sunny Deol made an awaited return to the silver screen, captivating audiences with the much-anticipated sequel to the 2001 blockbuster, ‘Gadar: Ek Prem Katha’
Directed by the visionary director Anil Sharma, Gadar 2 not only reignited the flames of nostalgia but also showcased what a remarkable comeback looks like. Sunny Deol’s winning comeback in Gadar 2 captivated both audiences and industry experts.
The success of Gadar 2 made it abundantly clear to many that Sunny Deol, at 66 years old, is far from reaching the end of his career.
It was quite surprising how Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel starrer, Gadar 2, secured its place as one of the highest-grossing Hindi movies of all time. Gadar 2, with its remarkable earnings of Rs 524.75 crore in India, initially triumphed over Pathaan, which had secured Rs 543.09 crore at the domestic Box Office.
Amid so many records, one record that captured the attention of many was the most short-lived record in the history of Bollywood. Do you know Gadar 2 made a record that was so short-lived that it lasted only for a day? Yes, we are talking about Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 record that was broken by Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawaan on the very second day.
Gadar 2 eventually took down Pathaan’s Hindi business in its seventh week & became the biggest Hindi grosser. However, the record was held for just a day.
Yes, a day after Gadar 2 surpassed Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawaan took the lead and broke the record.
The arrival of Shah Rukh Khan’s starrer Jawan in theatres brought a sudden dip in Box Office collections of Gadar 2. Just as Gadar 2 was gearing up to surpass Pathaan’s record, the impact of Jawan slowed down its impressive collection. The Bollywood box office saw a dynamic shift.
Sunny Deol’s Upcoming Movies
The excitement lingers on, with fans eagerly anticipating Sunny Deol’s upcoming movies that are going to release in the coming years, namely “Lahore” and “Baap.” In the historical drama “Lahore 1947,” Sunny is set to share the screen with none other than Aamir Khan, promising a dynamic. Meanwhile, “Baap” is gearing up to reunite Sunny Deol with the iconic heroes of the 80s and 90s—Mithun Chakraborty, Sanjay Dutt, and Jackie Shroff—creating a nostalgic cinematic reunion.
