Finally, it looks like the good days are back at the Bollywood box office. Karan Johar’s directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt is getting good numbers after a relatively decent start and Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 which are scheduled to be released on the next and the advance bookings for both the films have started on a strong note.
Both the movies are sequels to blockbuster films and carrying a good buzz in the audiences and trade circles. This is very happy news for the Bollywood as the buyers have been facing tough times with all the movies which had released were not doing well at the box office. Which is why both the films’ advance bookings off to a strong note and expected to open with bigger numbers on day 1.
Gadar 2’s advance bookings were opened on Sunday at a few centers and yesterday at national multiplexes, and the response has been remarkable in both locations. The movie sold 1700 tickets in PVR, 1200 tickets in INOX and 5200 tickets in Cinepolis until August 3 noon. Director Anil Sharma’s son, Utkarsh Sharma, has played the role of Sunny Deol’s son.
The Advance bookings for OMG 2 also opened before Gadar 2 at national chains, but it took less than 30 minutes for Gadar 2 to beat OMG 2 which had a lead of 6–7 hours. The response to OMG 2 was definitely good, but it just lagged when compared to the Sunny Deol starrer. OMG 2 sold 1100 tickets in PVR, 550 tickets in INOX, and 350 tickets in Cinepolis until August 3rd noon.
OMG 2, directed by Amit Rai, has Akshay Kumar in the avatar of Lord Shiva. Yami Gautam, Pankaj Tripathi, and Arun Govil who is famous for playing Lord Ram in the old Ramayan serial, will also appear in ‘OMG 2’. It will be released in theaters on August 11.
