Gadar 2 Box Office: Sunny Deol starrer exceeds expectations, opens at Rs. 40.10 crores

Gadar 2 has taken a record start at the box office, and has brought in the kind of collections that are unexpected, unimaginable and unprecedented. This is practically the first time ever when in a clash a film has opened so big and that too by a margin. Not just that, as the numbers are simply superb even if it were to be a solo release. Account for the non-holiday factor and Gadar 2 starts looking even bigger.

That’s right, there are a lot of records which Gadar 2 has already broken on its release day itself and there would be sheer mayhem right till August 15 at least when a lot of new records would be rewritten. That has been made possible by a start of Rs. 40.10 crores that the Sunny Deol and Anil Sharma film has taken at the box office on Friday. Even half of this would have been a great number, so one can well imagine how the film has gone beyond great already. In fact, the film now has all the chances to hit the Rs. 50 crores mark and one has to see whether it happens on Sunday or Tuesday (Independence Day holiday).

Sunny Deol was amongst the Top-3 Bollywood superstars for a large part of the 80s and the 90s, and then even early 2000s once Gadar: Ek Prem Katha released. However, post 2010 was a dull period for him when only Yamla Pagla Deewana turned out to be a big hit. Now the actor has shown this generation all over again what the star power is all about and it would be excellent to see him carry forward this huge feat even when he steps into the 70s, something that no Bollywood actor has ever achieved before.

Note: All collections as per production and distribution sources

Ali Sethi breaks his silence on marriage rumours to artist Salman Toor: “I don’t know who started the rumour”

Pakistani singer Ali Sethi, who garnered global popularity with his song ‘Pasoori’, made headlines in the last couple of days over his rumoured marriage to Pakistani-American painter Salman Toor. Social media was abuzz that the singer got married in an intimate ceremony to the artist in New York in the presence of close people. However, Sethi has now rubbished those reports and claimed that he has no idea who started the rumours.

On Saturday morning, Sethi took to his Instagram stories and clarified that he is not married. “I am not married, I don’t know who started the rumour,” he wrote. For years, Sethi has been linked to Toor but they have never confirmed their relationship.

Earlier in 2023, when Ali Sethi performed at Coachella, the singer was labelled as queer by the publication. In that interview, he said, “I think what I’ve always been trying to do is find this place of reconciliation. Because growing up I was told ‘You’re either this or that.’ I just rejected that.”

Reportedly, Sethi and Toor met in an art class at Aitchison College in Lahore and have remained friends for several years. “He (Salman Toor) was the most vulnerable one, because he didn’t have any defense mechanisms. I was the tallest person in the class, I was a teacher-pleaser, but Salman was guileless. When boys made fun of him, he couldn’t fight back,” Sethi told The New Yorker in 2022.

On the work front, Ali Sethi, back in June 2023, gave the rights of his song ‘Pasoori’ to the makers of Satyaprem Ki Katha for the recreation ‘Pasoori Nu’. The Pakistani Punjabi song was crooned by Ali Sethi and Shae Gill for Coke Studio Pakistan. The new version has been sung by Arijit Singh and Tulsi Kumar. The music is by Rochak Kohli and Ali Sethi. The lyrics of the song are by Gurpreet Saini and Ali Sethi.

Ali Sethi had a tremendous 2022 following ‘Pasoori’ with Shae Gill, which led them to unprecedented stardom. The song was the most searched song of 2022 on Google. He has several hits under his belt including ‘Ranjish Hi Sahi’, ‘Chan Kithan’, ‘Ishq’, ‘Chandni Raat’ among others. He recently released his new EP ‘Paniya’.
