How Independence Day 2023 turned out to be a landmark event for Bollywood at the box office with Gadar 2 & OMG 2
In 2023, two biggies - Sunny Deol starrer Gadar 2 and Pankaj Tripathi-Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 released during the Independence Day weekend While Bollywood filmmakers always cash in on festive weekends like Diwali, Christmas and Eid to maximise their box office potential, it is Independence Day which holds the record for giving the highest single-day business to Bollywood films. Keeping aside _Pushpa 2_, which earned massive Rs 86 crore in its Hindi version on its first Sunday (8 December), as it is not a Bollywood film, Independence Day has always turned out to be a huge boost for Hindi films at the box office. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In 2023, two biggies - Sunny Deol starrer _Gadar 2_ and Pankaj Tripathi-Akshay Kumar's _OMG 2_ released during the Independence Day weekend. Both the films registered good openings, but on Independence Day (15th August), they went on rampage mode as Anil Sharma's directorial collected Rs 55.40 crore and the spiritual sequel of OMG raked in Rs 17.10 crore. The cumulative business turned out to be the highest single-day collection of Bollywood with Rs 72.50 crore. In fact, the 2024 Independence Day also gave a boost to Bollywood with _Stree 2_ (Rs 55.40 crore), Khel Khel Mein (Rs 5.23 crore) and Vedaa (Rs 6.75 crore). Their cumulative business was Rs 67.38 crore. Interestingly, both sequels - Gadar 2 and Stree 2, which were released in different years, made the exact collections on Independence Day, which is Rs 55.40 crore. This year, Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani starrer _War 2_ is expected to create some records on 15th August. Despite garnering mixed-to-negative reviews, the film has the advantage of its Telugu dubbed version, as the RRR star enjoys a huge fanbase in the Telugu-speaking states. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Directed by Ayan Mukerji of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Wake Up Sid and Brahmastra: Part 1 Shiva fame, War 2 is bankrolled by Aditya Chopra under the banner of YRF. It is the sixth film from the Spy Universe after Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan and Tiger 3.

Happy Independence Day.🙏❤️" Check it out here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deanne Panday (@deannepanday) Ahaan Panday's Debut Movie Saiyaara Rocks Box Office Ahaan Panday's debut movie, Saiyaara, revolves around Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra, a budding journalist. As their love blossoms, they find themselves up against numerous odds. Set to a soundtrack that's already winning hearts, the film blends romance, ambition, and emotional drama. The film received an overwhelming response from critics and the audience. It has earned over Rs 500 crores at the box office as of now. Previously, Ahaan's mother also ttended an event in Mumbai when she told Instant Bollywood that she is happy and proud of her son's success. She admitted that even she was shocked when she watched Saiyaara and expressed gratitude to all for showering love on Ahaan. 'I am very happy. He is 27 years old. He is a very hardworking boy. He is humble, sweet and simple. When I saw him on screen, I was shocked. I was like, wow. A lot of love is coming his way. I just feel it is a miracle. It feels really good," Deanne Panday said. Meanwhile, if a report by ETimes is to be believed, Netflix has acquired the OTT rights for Saiyaara. However, due to its ongoing theatrical success, the digital premiere has been postponed closer to Diwali. This strategic delay is expected to give the film a longer theatrical shelf life and cater to a wider festive audience once it hits streaming platforms.

War 2 worldwide box office Day 1: Jr NTR rescues Hrithik Roshan's film from lowest-ever Spy Universe opening; movie makes Rs 52 crore
War 2 Box Office Collection Day 1: War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani, opened to poor reviews on Thursday. It seems like the poor word of mouth surrounding the film's release has affected its box office numbers as well. As per the industry tracker Sacnilk, the film made Rs 52.5 crore on its opening day of release, and while that number sounds almost as good as Pathaan, it is indeed concerning. Out of the Rs 52.5 crore, the Hindi share is just Rs 29 crore, and the Telugu share is Rs 23.25 crore. For comparison, Saiyaara, headlined by two newcomers, made Rs 21.5 crore on its first day of release. It was expected that War 2 would have a big opening in Telugu states because it marks Jr NTR's debut in a Bollywood film, but since the film is a part of a massive Bollywood franchise, and stars Hrithik, the opening of Rs 29 crore seems a bit disappointing. The first War film made Rs 51 crore just from its Hindi version on day one. War 2 had around 1100 and 1400 shows in Mumbai and Delhi-NCR region, respectively, with around 22 and 31 percent occupancy respectively. In Hyderabad, the film had around 500 shows in Telugu, with around 77 percent occupancy. War 2 has clashed against Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie, which made around Rs 65 crore on its opening day. War 2's opening figures are a big concern for YRF, who just had a massive hit with debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Their film, Saiyaara, made over Rs 322 crore nett in India in four weeks. The first War, directed by Siddharth Anand and co-starring Tiger Shroff, made Rs 53 crore on its opening day, with Rs 51 crore just from the Hindi version. The previous Spy Universe film, Tiger 3, starring Salman Khan, released on the day of Diwali, which was a Sunday, and opened at Rs 44.5 crore. Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, which was one of the biggest hits of 2023, opened at Rs 57 crore and the Hindi share here was at Rs 55 crore. ALSO READ | Love in the time of Gabbar: A real-life romance born on Sholay set; neither Dharmendra-Hema Malini, nor Amitabh Bachchan-Jaya Bahaduri War 2's reviews and audience reactions haven't been positive so far, and the film would hope to make the most of an extended holiday weekend to make up for it. The last time when a YRF film got a big opening but crashed massively on the second day was Thugs of Hindostan. The Aamir Khan-starrer made Rs 52.25 crore on its opening day, out of which Rs 50 crore came from Hindi, but on the second day, it witnessed a 44 percent drop. The films' theatrical run ended with Rs 151.3 crore at the domestic box office. War 2 also stars Kiara Advani, and Ashutosh Rana among others. The film has been directed by Ayan Mukerji, who previously directed the mega-budget misfire Brahmastra, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. Alia will headline the next Spy Universe film, Alpha.
