As fate would have it, this cinematic juggernaut faced formidable competition on its release. Sharing the spotlight were two other major releases, "Gadar 2" and "OMG 2." It was a battle of the titans, a showdown that cinephiles eagerly anticipated. Early indications suggested a mixed bag for the challengers. "Gadar 2" faced a barrage of negative reviews from the public, while "OMG 2" enjoyed a positive reception. However, amidst this tumultuous cinematic clash, "Jailer" surged ahead, emerging as the victor, at least in the initial stages of the box office race. The ultimate outcome of this showdown between "Gadar 2" and "OMG 2" remains uncertain, adding a layer of suspense to this captivating cinematic saga.
