Bollywood enthusiasts are in for a double treat as two highly anticipated sequels, Gadar 2 and OMG 2, made their way to the big screens today. Akshay Kumars OMG 2 and Sunny Deols Gadar 2 hit the theatres on Friday to large fanfare and turnouts across the country.Akshay Kumars OMG 2 has been the subject of much anticipation and discussion, particularly due to the Central Board of Film Certifications (CBFC) scrutiny. The film, after some deliberation, has secured an A certificate and undergone several edits, including a notable character change for Akshay Kumar, who was ultimately shown as a messenger of Lord Shiva instead of the deity himself.In contrast, nostalgia takes centre stage with Gadar 2, a sequel that sees Sunny Deol reprising his role as Tara Singh and Ameesha Patel returning as Sakeena after a span of 22 years. The lead actors have been actively promoting the film across the country, even visiting the Wagah border to witness the famed Attari–Wagah border ceremony.Advance bookings for both films have witnessed a promising lead, yet Sunny Deols Gadar 2 seems to have gained an edge over OMG 2 in certain regions. According to media analysts Scanilk, Gadar 2 is expected to earn ₹35 crore on the opening day, while OMG 2 will lag behind with an estimated earning of around ₹9 crore.Cinemagoers flock to watch Gadar 2 and OMG 2 in large numbersThe release of Gadar 2 has generated an extraordinary buzz, with fans flocking to theatres in remarkable numbers, indicating significant occupancy rates.
