Nearly 22 years after their blockbuster "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha," Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel have made a triumphant return with "Gadar 2," delivering a resounding success.

Within a span of five days since its release, the film has amassed a staggering ?228.9 crore at the box office, and its enchanting performance shows no signs of waning.

In light of this, many are speculating whether it could soon surpass the earnings of Shah Rukh Khan's blockbuster "Pathaan," which has achieved a domestic collection of ?543 crore.

Film trade analyst Komal Nahta assesses that Gadar 2 has about a 95 percent chance of surpassing Pathaan's earnings.

However, film business expert Girish Johar believes it is premature to draw a direct comparison between a fresh release and a film that dominated theaters for over two months.

Producer and film business expert Girish Johar emphasizes the importance of awaiting one more weekend to make a more accurate prediction about Gadar 2's potential to surpass Pathaan.

Directed by Anil Sharma, "Gadar 2" features an ensemble cast including Utkarsh Sharma, Manish Wadhwa, Gaurav Chopra, Simrat Kaur, Luv Sinha, Rakesh Bedi, and Dolly Bindra.

The film was released simultaneously with Akshay Kumar's "OMG 2" on August 11th.
