“The last I saw this kind of celebration happening was when ‘Gadar’ released and the people were enjoying and celebrating it. And after that, one is getting to see all this. I am just on top of the world and feeling so happy,” the film’s lead actor Sunny Deol told Variety.
As per trade analyst Taran Adarsh, Gadar 2 created history and set a new record after surpassing the weekend 2 collections of the top five highest-grossing Hindi movies. As per his post on X, formerly Twitter, Gadar 2 brought in US $10,852,425 in its second weekend in theatres.

Aside from the original Gadar stars, Ameesha Patel and Deol, the movie also stars Utkarsh Sharma and Simrat Kaur. The film ended with a promise of a part 3, however, Shariq Patel, the chief business officer of Zee Studios -- the distributors of Gadar 2 -- said they will consider making the third installation of the film only if they find the right story.
