GADAR 2 smashed all records on its second Friday with collections in the 20 crore nett range. PATHAAN released in January was at around 13 crore nett net though it was the tenth day of release for that film and not the eighth.. 

Today, post pandemic when 20 crore nett has become a huge task for opening day and only films with huge budgets and that cinematic experience, here is a film doing doing the 20 crore nett number on the second Friday. Forget 20 crore nett, there have only been six films in Hindi getting over the 15 crore nett mark not including GADAR 2.

The appreciation is huge and the numbers are matching that appreciation. Eventually it was that North Indian action film of the good old days with no South Indian flavour in sight driven by raw action dialogues which has got the public to react like this. The last time any film saw the public go crazy like was the first part of GADAR way back in 2001. But at that time information was just read or felt while now it can be seen right in front of your eyes. The first week numbers are seeing huge records come in from all over and they will be updated later.

Below are the top twenty second Fridays of all time.
