Bollywood star Sunny Deol has emerged to be the new mass-puller and he has all the reasons to celebrate as his film Gadar 2 has wrecked havoc at the box office. After shattering almost every record in the book, Gadar 2 has officially entered the Rs 500 crore club, and it still has a few more days to earn whatever more it can, until Jawan releases.
Gadar 2 has now emerged to be the second biggest film of the year, the first one being Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan. And now, it’s run in theatres might finally come to an end, this time, due to SRK’s Jawan.
Gadar 2 released in August 11, and several films came and went from cinemas, but the Sunny Deol-starrer continued its dream run.
Gadar 2 enters Rs 500 crore club
On the film’s fourth Sunday (September 3), Gadar 2 minted Rs 8.50 crore, and with that, it officially entered the Rs 500 crore club.
The film’s total collection in India stands at Rs 501.87 crore, and with that, it has become the third film ever to enter the Rs 500 crore club in the Hindi showbiz, the first two being Pathaan and Baahubali: The Conclusion.
However, among the three films, Gadar 2 is the fastest one to achieve the milestone, as it breached the Rs 500 crore mark in 24 days. Pathaan did the same in 28 days, while it took 34 days for Baahubali 2 to reach Rs 500 crore.
Gadar 2 success bash
There is no end to parties for Sunny Deol and family ever since Gadar 2 hit the theatres. The cast and crew of the film have been spotted throwing lavish bashes in the city, and the recent one of Saturday was probably the biggest event of the year for B-Town.
On Saturday evening, Sunny threw a grand success bash at his residence in Mumbai, and it was attended by the who’s who of Bollywood. The party only got bigger and better as all the three Khans — Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan — were spotted celebrating Sunny’s success under one roof.
Several photos and videos from the party have gone viral on the internet in which the Deols can be seen engrossed in conversations with the Khans, and other famous names from the tinsel town.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui needs no introduction. The actor can transform himself into any character and has earned a special place in the audience’s hearts with his work. Nawazuddin’s character Ganesh Gaitonde from ‘Sacred Games’ became extremely popular, and who can forget his iconic dialogue in the series, ‘Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi Bhagwan hai’.
Nawazuddin was part of both seasons of Sacred Games, but for him, season 1 will always hold a special place.
In a conversation , he shared his preference for season 1 and why he thinks season 2 was not as successful as the previous one and didn’t connect with the audience.
He shared which season he preferred more and said, “Of course season 1”, adding what didn’t work in season 2, saying, “There were new characters, so it didn’t work. There were 3-4 new characters, so it didn’t work at all. Because what happens is that, the character that people loved at first, if you make them weak, people won’t accept it.”
‘Sacred Games’ is an Indian neo-noir crime drama based on Vikram Chandra’s 2006 novel of the same name. It revolves around Sartaj (Saif Ali Khan), a cop, and his run-in with Gaitonde (Nawazuddin Siddiqui), the most wanted criminal, and what transpires after they come in contact with each other.
Apart from Saif and Nawazuddin, the other cast includes Radhika Apte, Girish Kulkarni, Neeraj Kabi, Jeetendra Joshi, Rajshri Deshpande, Karan Wahi, Sukhmani Sadana, Aamir Bashir, Jatin Sarna, Elnaaz Norouzi, Pankaj Tripathi, Kubbra Sait, Surveen Chawla, Kalki Koechlin, Ranvir Shorey and Amruta Subhash.
The actor added that the audience is connected with certain characters and if they are missing or portrayed weakly, people often lose interest.
Giving an example of his favourite American crime drama series , ‘Narcos’, which was based on the story of a Colombian narcoterrorist Pablo Escobar, portrayed by Wagner Moura, he said, “When I saw the gangster series ‘Narcos’, and Pablo Escobar’s character, I just went crazy after watching the first season. However, in the second season, his character was made weak. Then, why should I watch it? I had a connection with him. I was emotionally connected to him. Same happened with ‘Sacred of Games 2’.”
Talking about his iconic character of Ganesh Gaitonde and the famous dialogue ‘Kabhi Kabhi lagta hai ki apun hi Bhagwan hai’, on which number of memes were made, he shared, “I used to wonder about this dialogue. I found it to be strange. Never knew at that time it would turned out to be like this (popular).”
He added that it is difficult to recreate the charm of the original. “There is a kind of energy of the director and actors and a magical atmosphere which cannot be recreated.” Nawazuddin is known for his roles in ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’, ‘The Lunchbox’, ‘Raman Raghav 2.0’, and ‘Manto’, among others. He has won numerous awards, including a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award.

![MP High Court Asks Centre To Clarify If Kangana Ranaut's Controversial Film 'Emergency' Has Received CBFC Certificate Amid Sikh Allegations](https://mumbaipress.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Untitled-1-3.jpg)
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Madhya Pradesh High Court, on Monday, asked the Central government to clarify whether Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s upcoming film “Emergency” has received a certification by the Central Board of Film Certification.
The release of the movie, set against the backdrop of a 1984 emergency during then PM Indira Gandhi’s tenure, has been postponed from earlier date, September 6, following controversies.
The High Court issued the notice following a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed by the Jabalpur Sikh Sangat, which alleges that the film portrays the Sikh community in a negative light.
The Sikh group’s plea, which was set to be heard on Monday, seeks to halt the film’s release, claiming that the movie is not in the public interest. According to senior advocate NS Ruprah, who represents the Sikh body, the film could harm societal sentiments.
Ranaut, an actor-politician and BJP MP from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, stars as former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in the film, which is scheduled for release on September 6.
The court’s intervention highlights concerns raised by the Sikh community, and it has asked the Centre to respond promptly on the film’s certification status.
The release of Kangana Ranaut’s film “Emergency” was postponed amid a major controversy over its portrayal of the Sikh community. The film was initially scheduled to release on September 6, but the release date was pushed back.
