'OMG 2' Box Office Update: Akshay Kumar's Film Nears Rs.100 Crore Mark

In the face of stiff competition from 'Gadar 2' starring Sunny Deol, 'OMG 2' featuring Akshay Kumar has managed to impress with its performance. The film is on track to achieve a significant milestone at the box office by crossing the century mark. On Independence Day, it garnered an impressive Rs 17.10 crore. According to trade analyst Taran Adarsh, the cumulative collection of 'OMG 2' has currently reached Rs 73.67 crore. Notably, 'OMG 2' holds the distinction of being Akshay's 10th movie release on Independence Day, a trend that has proven to be in his favor.

"#OMG2 is trending EXCEPTIONALLY WELL, the jump on #IndependenceDay is an EYE-OPENER… Fri 10.26 cr, Sat 15.30 cr, Sun 17.55 cr, Mon 12.06 cr, Tue 17.10 cr. Total: ₹ 72.27 cr. #India biz… #OMG2 is displaying strong legs at the #BO," Adarsh tweeted.

"Let's face it, the clash with #Gadar2 has eroded its true potential… #OMG2 would've easily collected much, much more, if it hadn't released alongside a Tsunami called #Gadar2," he added. 

Helmed by Amit Rai, 'OMG 2' also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in the lead roles. The film was on the radar ever since the makers unveiled the film's posters and teaser. Several reports claimed that the film was put on hold by the censor board as the committee wanted to be extra cautious due to the film's religious theme. But the film was passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The censor board gave an ‘A' (Adults Only) certificate to the film.

'OMG 2' marked Akshay's 10th Independence Day release and has worked in his favour.
