MUMBAI: Sunny Deol’s blockbuster film Gadar 2 showed signs of slowing down at the Indian box office on Tuesday. The film witnessed a similar collection on day 26 as on day 25 and was seen affected by the upcoming storm and advance bookings of Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan.

With the collections of Gadar 2 slowing down, the film is unlikely to beat Pathaan’s all-time record of being the highest grossing Hindi film in India, but is expected to rank number 2 beating Prabhas’s Baahubali: The Conclusion’s lifetime collection.

On day 26 of its theatrical release, Gadar 2 collected nearly Rs 2.5 crore in India. The total box office collection of Gadar 2 in India stood at Rs 506.27 crore. 

The film crossed the Rs 500 crore mark domestically on Sunday, becoming the fastest Hindi film to reach the milestone.

The Sunny Deol-starrer now aims to beat the record held by SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali: The Conclusion, which collected Rs 510.99 crore to become the second highest grossing Hindi film ever. Pathaan tops the list with a lifetime collection of Rs 543 crore in India.

While Gadar 2 is still maintaining its pace at the box office, the collections are expected to witness a drop after Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan hits the theaters this Thursday. The film is off to a record breaking advance booking. 

Reportedly, trade experts are expecting a Rs 75 crore opening day collection in India from Jawan and Rs 125 crore worldwide. The film is expected to cross the Rs 400 crore mark-worldwide within its first weekend and break many records at the box office.
