Sunny Deol-starrer Gadar 2 has been performing exceptionally well at the domestic box office ever since entering cinemas on August 11.
The much-publicized film has now crossed the £45 million mark at the domestic box office, the makers said on Monday.
Directed by Anil Sharma, the Hindi feature film is a sequel to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, which also starred Deol and Ameesha Patel.
In a post on X, production house Zee Studios said Gadar 2 had raised over £45 million at the ticket window since its release on August 11.
“THANK YOU, for making Hindustan ki asli blockbuster break records!” the banner captioned the tweet.
