The Box Office Clash
Earlier in the year, "Pathan," starring the iconic Shah Rukh Khan, stormed the box office, amassing a staggering 524.53 crore rupees in Hindi cinema.

A significant turning point occurred when "Gadar 2" overtook "Pathan" in terms of earnings on an ordinary Wednesday.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, a prominent figure in the Indian film industry, took to social media to announce this historic moment. He revealed that "Gadar 2" had not only matched but surpassed the lifetime earnings of "Pathan" in the Hindi market, amassing a total of 524.75 crore rupees.
